Enrico Olivanti
Experimental / Electronic / Ambient
An Italian composer-guitarist whose solo-played album Love Letters Beneath the Doric Tomb turns a true 1920s Roman love story into an eight-part, multi-stylistic journey.
Enrico Olivanti is a composer, guitarist and producer whose album "Love Letters Beneath the Doric Tomb" is an intimate musical journey and a declaration of love to our time. Recorded between Berlin, Dresden and Rome and played entirely by Olivanti himself - on electric, acoustic and slide guitars, synthesizers, percussion, piano, voice, bouzouki, Tibetan bells and sound design, with co-production and mixing by Stefano Barone - the album takes its title from a true story of two secret lovers in 1920s Rome who exchanged letters for five years before burying them beneath a Doric tomb on the ancient Via Appia, where they were rediscovered seventy years later. Inspired by this tale, Olivanti builds a narrative across eight compositions in which spontaneity and a great care for sound and form coexist across many styles: from the drone-based pieces and hypnotic, meditative passages to the dramatic and the romantic, culminating in the title track.
