About Me

Well, Michael Look is nothing but the nom de plume of an italian artist, Michelangelo Lucco. Born in 1957, started as an early musician (just 3) trying to play on a toy whistle "Bridge on the River Kway Theme" from the movie.Architect and graphic artist, music is yet more than a simple hobby. Mostly self taught.Instruments: recorders, crumhorns, keyboards, digital MIDI wind controller, percussion. Trying to learn flute, actually I can really play three notes. As a solo artist I have recorded just for joke "Keep off the children", a self produced selection of british and italian folk dances & songs, arranged in a slightly tricky suit. Recorded home just for joke, it incredibly has found its minor success! In 1976 formed Fiddle Faddle, a strange sort of demented folk rock band and, in 1980, the actual band: Spriggan, with Eugenio Pasquina, Alberto Bresci and other guys. The band still exists, with three founder members still on the folder plus Paolo Rognini (a university professor) on violin and Keyboards._____________________________________Beh, Michael Look non è altro che il mio pseudonimo, mi chiamo Michelangelo Lucco e sono architetto e grafico, anche se la musica è più che un semplice hobby. Molto precocemente, tentai di suonare ad orecchio, su una specie di piffero giocattolo, il tema de "Il ponte sul Fiume Kway"... avevo tre anni. Spero di essere migliorato da allora. Principalmente autodidatta, metto le mani su tastiere, flauti dolci, cromorno, MIDI controller a fiato, percussioni. Sto pure imparando il flauto traverso, sperando di andare oltre le tre note che attualmente riesco a fare... Da solista ho autoprodotto "Keep off the Children", una selezione di antichi brani inglesi e pure italiani, arrangiati in una forma un po' bizzarra e registrato più per gioco che con intenzioni serie... però, clamorosamente, a qualcuno piace.Nel 1976 partecipai alla nascita dei Fiddle Faddle, una sorta di strana folk rock band, demenziale ante litteram e, nel 1980, nacquero gli Spriggan, fondati insieme a Eugenio Pasquina, Alberto Bresci e altri. La band esiste tuttora, con il sottoscritto, Alberto e Eugenio e il nuovo membro Paolo Rognini (quando la sua attività di professore universitario glielo consente) al violino e alle tastiere.___________________________________________________ _______________________Myspace Layouts
