Leonardo Barilaro has big dreams, big ambitions. He has an even bigger vision for music, and that’s what reflects the most. As an artist, he is constantly pushing the envelope of what is possible. Not only is he a musician and composer, but also an aerospace engineer. His latest single is a masterful instrumental called Frenzy. Let’s dive right into it.Â
Not only will this fit the film it has been designed for, but the notes Leonardo Barilaro uses have mystique. They have a sense of reason, of haunting time and the study of something deep. His phrasing asks for that, it needs space to understand. The sustain on the keys will actually take you back, as heavier notes rest with gravity. Some parts sound like Nicholas Britell’s composition for theme of Succession. This is especially felt in the descending scale, where something sounds like it is afoot. This meld of emotions makes this an intriguing piece, something of dramatic nature and charm. You’ll find yourself wondering, the rich tapestry of the scene and instrumental extravaganza that Leonardo Barilaro brings with such a composition.Â
Of Course I Still Love You, Maleth and Bitanem are some must listens from this composer. He knows how to grasp the feel and the resultant scenery from it as well. This would be perfect in a film like Phantom Thread (2017) as well. Listen to his single here and follow him for more music like this! Prepare to hear him for the first concert on Mars.
