We are pleased to introduce "Clarinet", EP album by the clarinetist/composer and Professor of Clarinet Luca Luciano.

The CD (sold-out!) has been available in linited edition only and it is now available exclusivelly via digital distribution. Luca is very much appreciated in the UK and abroad for his unique style and the quality of his compositions ("Masterful Clarinet" by Musician Magazine) and this latest project keeps faith to his uncompromised and sometimes controversial approach to music making and his strong belief in promoting contemporary music.

Luciano's sound has been built on a vintage Bb Buffet clarinet which bears more keys and rings (20 keys and 7 rings) than the regular French clarinet (generally 17-18 keys and 6 rings) and goes a semitone lower as well. The instrument, then, is slightly longer than an A clarinet which explains its darker tone, versatility and more hybrid tone, almost like a Basset Clarinet, that fits so much Lucas style. Yet the extra keys and extension give him the chance to create sound effects otherwise almost impossible to generate (e.g. Divertimento #4 and Divertimento #9).
