The Italian composer, sound engineer and arranger Pierpaolo Guerrini is better known for his many years of close collaboration with the Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli. After a career spanning over 30 years, he is now releasing ‘Friends’, his first album under his own name. He has invited guests such as Hauser, Stephan Moccio, Andrea Griminelli, Alessandro Martire, Stefano Cocco Cantini and Andrea Bocelli.

The album contains compositions that move between different musical genres, with instrumental pieces by friends with whom Pierpaolo has collaborated directly and indirectly throughout his career. An album that welcomes, reinforces and brings together different sensibilities, experiences, professionalism and styles.

Each processing phase had a meticulous process, starting from the recording with the band (Fabrizio Morganti drums, Lorenzo Forti bass, Marco Baracchino and Antonello Pudva guitars) in the studio up to a large string orchestra, the CNSO Prague Orchestra directed by Steven Mercurii, to create original electronic sounds, with synths and mostly completely analog outboards. The recording and mixing process respects a classic procedure as much as possible, starting from the effects used up to more modern processing choices. The album contains eleven tracks including Unity machine (feat. Alessandro Martire), Variable timing (feat. Andrea Griminelli), Andromeda’s sky (feat. CARisMAGuitar Duo), The fifth line(feat. Andrea Bocelli) etc…
