Davide Dileo - a chance discovery

As we wandered through the rooms of Rome’s marvellous Castel Sant’Angelo, I kept hearing snatches of piano and couldn’t work out the source.

Finally, we arrived in a central courtyard to find a pianist sound-checking for his sold-out concert that evening. I later discovered him to be David Dileo, who creates soundscapes using piano and electronics in an extraordinary way.

It was wonderful to hear Davide playing, and particularly in an informal way during his afternoon preparations. I shall definitely be seeking out more of his music and hope to be able to chat with him for Harmonious World.
