Girolamo De Simone
The pianist, composer and musicologist, Girolamo De Simone , is regarded as one of the foremost exponents of the new Italian border music avant-garde. An eclectic figure in the Italian musical scene, he was inspired by pianist and composer Eugenio Fels, Riccardo Risaliti, and the late Luciano Cilio. As a pianist, he has performed in Italy and Europe, always arousing his audience's enthusiasm with his interpretations, at once terse and impassioned. As theorist of "border music", Girolamo De Simone has published books and essays. He has anticipated by several years in many articles and reviews the themes of the contamination between different musical genres and the rejection of experimentalism

Liturgie

The essence of the action or movement in this music lies in the transiti…

An awesome new release by Girolamo De Simone, a talented composer that emerged from the "new avant-garde" scene, which arose in Naples in the 70s around his maestro Luciano Cilio, of which he plays several parts in the legendary Dell¹Universo Assente CD. The pieces presented here are intimate and introspective miniatures, full of melancholy and sweet decay. Blending acoustic and electronic particles, De Simone creates a fascinating osmotic process of endless beauty.
