Luigi is so Baroque…

Posted in News, Uncategorized by Louis on May 15th, 2009

PRESS RELEASE:

Luigi Monteferrante, a Canadian poet/Italian composer, morphed electro-acoustic minstrel now goes Baroque!

After releasing Gang of Tolstoy’s debut album on 1st May 2009, Luigi returned to the studio to complete the savant-garde ensemble’s second album: Urban Space. A much more adventurous leap into hyper-space and time, Urban Spaces explores, discovers, erects and builds on the ideas laid down in No Place Like Happy, which can be purchased for download at: http://cdbaby.com/cd/gangoftolstoy

On the completion of Urban Space, Luigi then returned to the studio…or more precisely, he never left what he now defines as the black hole. Subsumed, he looped in space and time via the dark matter of the mind, and emerged wholly transformed to fire a full ensemble of strings, and a pianoforte, with his third album as Gang of Tolstoy entitled: Viola by the Window.

While Urban Space is due for release at the end of May, Viola by the Window is scheduled for Summer’s Solstice 2009.
