IMAGELESS
Imageless is a collection of songs born from images and detaching themselves from them, to live their own lives. It is therefore a sound work that tells the transformation of Luca Maria Baldini's music when this departure from the original images takes place. A natural evolution that has assumed a fundamental role in his creative process: in fact, if the pieces are created for short films, video art projects or never released ads, it is in the act of detachment that sounds begin their true existences, appealing to the archive of images present in the listener's mind.
Over the last three years, Baldini has worked on several soundtracks, as well as soundtracks for silent films. Some tracks have been edited and further developed, while others have been left in their original form. What these compositions have in common today, is the basic concept that if sound is born from vision, from a free sound a new vision can be born: an increasingly urgent operation today, to escape the excess of images to which we are subjected.

IN BETWEEN
In Between is Luca Maria Baldini's first solo album. It is an encode of the relationship between the material and the immaterial world. The union of electronic music, ethereal analog sounds and autobiographical field recordings and samples, creates a new balance point (2016).
