Following the world premiere at the Auditorium Parco della Musica in Rome earlier this month, the founder of Subsonica is taking his new instrumental album, released on October 9, on tour.

Davide Dileo—his given name—will be on tour on November 28 in Turin  with 2 set (at Il Coro di Santa Pelagia), December 3 in Forlì (Auditorium Conad-Città di Forlì), and December 4 in Milan (at the Basilica di San Vincenzo in Prato) and December 18 in Pietrasanta (at Museo Mitoraj).

More than just a record, Boosta considers Pianorama a journey. “An underground journey through my entire musical life,” he confided. “Throughout concerts and my career with Subsonica, in installations, and in my passion for DJing, the piano has always been by my side,” he added. With Pianorama, he set out to translate this approach into a project built around the relationship between the acoustic sound of the piano and its subsequent electronic transformation. In fact, the album’s nine tracks—whose initials spell out the title—are paired with as many electronic developments. Two different perspectives on the same sonic material: a “Side A” that preserves the piano performance in its immediacy, and a “Side B” that expands and breaks down its elements, transforming them into soundscapes.

“I’m not a great pianist, and I say that in all honesty. I have a good relationship with the piano, and for me, technique has always been a tool at the service of ideas, not an end in itself. Had I practiced for hours and hours every day of my life, I would have a different technique, sure, but I’d also have different ideas,” he made a point of clarifying. Thus, the album retains the mechanical noises of the instrument, the pedals, the creaks, and the vibrations of the room: “It’s a live-to-tape recording. I was looking for intimacy, and in intimacy, you find imperfection and the unexpected.” Emotions set to be recreated live in concert as well.
