In the “electronic area” he has collaborated with 9lazy9 (Ninja Tunes) and performed with the worldwide famous avant duo Matmos. In the same music fields stands the collaboration with Ricardo Villalobos and Max Loderbauer for the project Re:ECM. “103 Ep” is traveling on the most intimate and electronic side of Gianluca’s music, clarifying its fine taste with a series of cinematic atmospheres described with the combination of haunting jazz melodies with obscure electronic pathways. This record captures completely the atmospheres evoked by dark cities, midnight, smoky streets, loneliness, existentialism and romanticism, allowing you to experience the jazz music from an unusual perspective.
