Infiné, easy music for the hard to please

Diversity is his own trademark. Already an established artist in the Classic music networks, one-to-watch in the electronic circles, Francesco Tristano is one the most surprising and rarest profile of this decade. Live collaborator and studio partner of Carl Craig, Murcof, Agoria, Moritz von Oswald or les Siecles Orchestra and multi-tasking Grand Piano of Aufgang, he is one of the key-player of the recent intrusion of “Modern Classic” into electronic music.

No later than 30th August, Francesco will head to London´“Get Loaded in the Park” festival with Carl Craig`s Innerzone Orchestra and a full section of cellos. September 5th, following the first exercise of last year in Paris, the “Versus” project bringing together Moritz von Oswald, Carl Craig, les Siecles and Francesco will showcase its third appearance in Milan Alcatraz. September 16th in Bologna, still with Carl Craig and Moritz von Oswald, Francesco will run a live of his own project “Shape” associated with Bachar Khalifé, Justin Messina and David Bruti. After a couple of dates in Luxembourg and in Roma, he will share the stage of Murcof at the mythic Avant-Garde club of New York “Poisson Rouge” before heading back to Europe for a live with Jordi Carnel in BCN and eventually a Club date in Torino with Carl Craig and Moritz, November 5th.

Aufgang, teaming up Francesco Tristano, Rami Khalifé and Aymerick Westrich (drummer of Cassius) will release on InFiné / Discograph its first album in October in France, later during winter 2009-2010 in the rest of world. Hard to classify the band composed of two Grand Pianos and a drum-set rapidly gained attention from Jeff Mills after a first appearance at Sonar festival in 2005. Next to "Sonar" released in May, Sutek, Cubenx, John Talabot and Robert Hood are currently working on some remixes for the coming EPS of the band.
