Bio
Born in Turin, Italy in 1965, Giorgio Li Calzi started overdubbing piano and synthesizer as a child, and in 1990 he began to play the trumpet. He studied in the early 90's under Enrico Rava's tutorship. It was Rava who convinced Giorgio to become a trumpet player. In 1990 Giorgio also won the best European composer award at the Competition for Young Jazz Talents (RAI/Ives St. Laurent), in Rome. Then he began composing music for the theatre and dance performances. He started working for the advertising world and won the 1992 award for best Italian composer, for a FIAT jingle, in Milan. His groups, made up of Italian, African, Arab, Asian and Brazilian musicians, play at international festivals, and at cinema festivals, too, as special event. In 2003 he collaborated with Wolfgang Flür, historical member of Kraftwerk, and Lenine, the great Brazilian singer-songwriter: both artists feature as guests on Giorgio's 2004 Tech-Set cd. . In 2007 Giorgio arranged his first work as theatrical-visual director - Giorgio Li Calzi Lectio Organica I: Dracula. In December 2008 Li Calzi released his first dvd: Giorgio Li Calzi + Aleksandr Nevskij, new electronic score to the masterpiece by Sergej Ejzenštejn, produced by Museo Nazionale del Cinema, Torino. His new album, ORGANUM, features Marconi Union (UK), Thomas Leer (UK), Hayley Alker (UK), Retina.it (IT), Douglas Benford, aka si-cut.db (UK). It will be out on April 2011.
