By now, you will know that Leonardo Barilaro has been releasing music every day to streaming platforms, under the year-long project “Space Music Everyday”. We have been developing an archive of reviews featuring the artist, which you can view here.
Today, we wanted to shine a spotlight on the release of 100 Days, which starts of with an intricate and cinematic piano, as additional base synth notes start to immerse us.
The drama of the track expands, as the energy of the composer becomes more directional and cerebral. The piano riffs are exquisite and we could see easily this in a major cinematic space movie.
100 Days is inspired by the concept of trusting the process. Leonardo instills wisdom with every release and on this opus, he says, “In life, what really pays off in the long term is showing up every single day and embrace the grinding, with all its difficulties and related rollercoaster of emotions.”
“Every activity developed step by step during the years in a self-conscious and active way is a form of art, and the project of Leonardo The Space Pianist wants to honour this”, concludes the artist from Italy.
The build of the track sees the synths expand as the piano reaches the highest points of the instrument and we are absorbed in a magnetic riser which takes over us wholly.
The artwork features model and casting director Karolina Thea Kosiba, portrayed by photographer Lorenzo De Donno.
The videoclip is minimal, in black and white, and we love watching Leonardo perform, it is truly mesmerizing.
Space Piano Music Everyday is a daily project, we have included the Spotify playlist here, and added 100 days to our New Music Spotlight playlist.
