SYNTH LOUIS
by Luca Proietti
A new ensemble that was born as a tribute to electronic music, synthesizers and more generally to electronic music instruments in all their forms.
The repertoire ranges from classic pieces revisited electronically, in a sort of homage to Wendy Carlos and her "Switched On Bach" - the album that made many appreciate the synthesizer as a full-fledged musical instrument - up to original compositions close to the most current trends, passing through pop songs, also revisited in electronic form.
Project coordinator Synth Louis è Luca Proietti: "One of the main purposes of this ensemble is to highlight the part played, often not very present in many electronic music performances"
