Every single day. Yes, every single day Leonardo Barilaro releases a new musical piece for piano solo, prepared piano, synths and embedding a wide range of experimentations. “Spusa de Pesse” is part of his yearlong journey “Space Piano Music Everyday”, a project that he started in 2022. Pianist, composer and space engineer, Leonardo Barilaro is committed to play the first piano concert in Mars.

There’s so much to say about Barilaro and his project. Born in Venice, Italy, Leonardo Barilaro discovered the piano at the age of 6 and astronomy at 9. Later on, he became a professional pianist and an aerospace engineer. Counting four studio albums, five singles and a myriad of singles, his mantra in art and life is “Nullo Die Sine Nota”, which means “Not a day without a note”.
“Spusa de Pesse” was inspired by the upcoming book “Auf Wiedersehen Sgranphogemund – The Italian Journey of Reversed Goethe”, written by the young writer and astronomy enthusiast Asiago Wurzburg. It is a music piece with an emphasis on experimentalism, featuring the voice of Wurzburg himself. Music that places us somewhere in the 70’s, in front of a TV watching Star Trek in black and white, or maybe The Twilight Zone. Synth science fiction music, I will dare to say, with a foot on Mars and another on Isaac Asimov imaginary, one of Barilaro’s early readings. Every single day Leonardo the Space Pianist gives you a reason to get to know his music and his peculiar project, if you don’t know it yet then you don’t know what you’re missing!
