Sergio Chierici

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. As a child, I composed on a small electric harmonium with real reeds and recorded on cassette tapes. Each new piece brought new sounds—I realized early on that sound could be both a game and a form of expression. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Brian Eno, Ambient 1: Music for Airports CBC Symphony Orchestra, Columbia Symphony Orchestra, Elmer Iseler, Festival Singers of Toronto, Stravinsky Conducts Stravinsky: Symphony in Three Movements, Symphony in C & Symphony of Psalms Franco Battiato, Fetus I like Stravinsky’s Symphony of Psalms for its blend of modernity and sacred neoclassicism, Battiato’s Fetus as a pioneering debut in electroacoustic experimentation, and Eno’s Ambient 1 as a timeless cornerstone of ambient music. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Leonardo da Vinci Sounds from the Beyond: No. 5, PIttura” Pittura blends electronic sound with Renaissance thought from Leonardo. Written for a stage work, it stands alone emotionally—featuring a processed voice I deeply love.
