2nd album I produced to Elisabeth Cutler, she specifically asked me to focus the album around the Chapman Stick, and enriching the sound with my collection of weird stringed instruments. First class musicians took part of the recordings: Massimo Cusato on percussion, Mats Hedberg on electric guitar, Ernesto Cossio on classical guitar. One of the videos below tells the story and the making of the album, including a short interview of me while showing part of my instruments.
I consider this album as one of the best production I did in my career.

"I have made three albums with Filippo De Laura (producer, musician, arranger) of my original guitar-based folk-pop songs, with influences of jazz and rock. Filippo is the perfect producer for me, not only for his fine talent and versatility as a musician, but also because of his deep knowledge and experience with music from around the world, including the American and British music I was raised on. Perhaps most importantly, I feel he is curious and interested to understand me as an artist, and to shine a light on the strong as well as the fragile aspects of my artistry, and this increases my confidence as a performer (guitar, voice) and as a songwriter (composer, lyricist). I am pleased to say that I’ve made the best albums of my career with Filippo and I look forward to our next collaboration!"
