Davide Mocini - Suggestions (2021)

The ancestral sounds of the Renaissance lute and the bowed lute are mixed with synthesizers and electric guitars in Davide Mocini’s new work: “Suggestions”.

The influences that we find in “Suggestions” range from a necessary reference to Renaissance music, to post-rock (strongly present thanks to the sound carpets of electric guitars and synthesizers), to funk, to classical, folk, and indie music:

«The style proposed in“ Suggestions ”certainly derives from my years of study of the Renaissance lute, in the conservatory, and of the jazz guitar; but also of all genres that I have had the opportunity to listen to or play, such as author music, rock, Irish music. I’ve always listened to everything, but the artists who have influenced me the most are definitely Bill Frisell, the Beatles, Pink Floyd and most of the rock and pop music of the 60s / 70s; but, of course, the great Renaissance and Baroque lutenists and the great classical music composers like Bach, Beethoven and modern composers like Arvo Pärt and Ennio Morricone, just to name a few, had a great influence on me.
