This project was born from the experience of Francesco Luciani in the context of multiple live concerts performed over the past 10 years in Portugal and Italy. It became common that at the end of these shows elements of the public seek him to simply ask "where can I buy your CD?" The answer so far has always been a "there is no CD ... maybe there will be one soon!" Well, the chance to fulfill the promise so often repeated, and carry out the oft-delayed project is finally here!
The CD, Hispania – Sonoridades Lusas e Espanholas (Lusitanian and Spanish Sounds), will be this musician’s first. The work results not only from an historical research, but also from a careful musical research. The concept involves the gathering and study of musical pieces from the Iberian Peninsula. The intent is to represent both composers from Portugal and Spain. It is, in short, a celebration of Portuguese and Spanish classical music, and is a delightful journey through the rich sonorities of this precious space that this Peninsula is.
The CD will be recorded and edited with the publisher Numerica’s partnership. The pieces are ready to take to the studio. It is just missing a little financial push to start recording. With your contribution it will certainly be possible to start very soon the work of recording and editing. With your support, the CD may be presented in public in the upcoming months.
WHAT DOES HISPANIA MEAN?
It is the Latin name the Romans gave to the territory that is today the Iberian Peninsula (Portugal + Spain). Note that Hispania was part of the Roman Empire for about 700 years and, according to several sources, it was one of the most stable regions of the Empire.
WHAT WILL THE SUPPORT COLLECTED BE USED FOR?
Supports collected through this campaign will be used exclusively for the 1st edition of the CD. They will be used to cover costs with:
- Studio Time (includes recording, editing and mastering);
- Design and Graphic Editing (photos, cover design and editing booklet).
