Giorgio Li Calzi

about

Li Calzi began studying trumpet in the early 1990s under the tutorship of Enrico Rava. In 1990 he won the award for Best European Composer at the Competition for Young Jazz Talents (RAI/Yves Saint Laurent (brand)) in Rome. He also worked for the advertising industry and won the award for best Italian composer for a FIAT jingle in Milan. His first album as trumpet player was released in 1994, and he has released a further nine albums since. In 2003 he collaborated with Wolfgang Flür, founder member of German group Kraftwerk, who sampled some tracks from the rough mix of "Sweet Home with Elena Dancing" (from Giorgio's "Tech-set" 2004 album) to include on his 7" single "I was a robot", issued in 2015 with the album "Eloquence". In 2003 Li Calzi also collaborated with Lenine, Brazilian singer-songwriter who recorded voice and guitar for a cover recording of Janis Joplin's "Mercedes Benz". Both Wolfgang Flür and Lenine are guests on Li Calzi's 2004 "Tech-Set" album. In 2007 he arranged his first work as a theatrical visual director, Lectio Organica I, Dracula. His album Organum, released in 2011, features Marconi Union, Thomas Leer, Hayley Alker, Retina.it and Douglas Benford. His most recent album ITALIANI (2013) features Gian Luigi Carlone and Johnson Righeira. Li Calzi continues to experiment in new electronic sound forms with his trumpet, together with the Turin-based collective Audio Hacklab, Kinetik Laboratories, and Pugile, Eniac, Motor. He is the artistic director
