Franco Leprino was born in 1953, he studied guitar, composition and electronic music (1968-1980), graduated in international legal disciplines (1977) and Musicology (1986)
Music is sound. The sound, concerning the laws of the acoustics, is a variation of the pressure of the air during the time. Sound that is produced by the vibrations of a rope, a skin or an air column. Sound is also the impersonal clamour of a crowd, the distressing cry of a child, or the same inner noises of our body. The primitive people used to relate music to divine and supernatural elements; still today music, undressed from its originates mysticism, due to the evolution and progress, is however a way to escape by real life. At all, music is perhaps the only art form to being uncoupled from the reality. I wish that music acquit its active role, as a true representation of our time, with its contradictions. A speech with similarl presupposed was launch in the first decades of the century by the futurists, but while they the focused in exalting the progress and the technology, mine is to represent the contradictions of the consumistic society that was originated from the development of those premises. The classic way to intend aesthetic cannot be a parameter of judgment in this contest, as the presupposed and the purposes are different. The beauty does not coincide with the harmony, with the melody, but also with harsh, troubles, that is the essential completion to the musical speech. Music therefore no more,or not only, to escape, but to face and, above all, to take conscience of what is truly our truth, and what it would have to be. I think that music intended in this way has not turn to a narrow elite of people involved in it, as music has a popular character, being acceptable for a larger number of people, and to constitute al same time a ring of conjunction between ‘disengaged music’ and the so-called serious music. False freedom in principle, cosmic music, dyscrasias originate from this false vision (concrete sounds), structural analysis of our habits (repetitive music), conscience of the true reality (clean landscapes from the tonal system to the atonality), an aware outburst towards the new fantasy.
