Federico Albanese

Federico Albanese is a genre-defying Italian musician, composer, multi-instrumentalist, and producer.

His musical versatility is a natural gift that pushes him to explore music in all its facets. Albanese’s cinematic instrumental tracks, blending contemporary classical, pop, and electronic ambience, struck an instant chord for their airy, meditative beauty.

“I try to focus on being silent as much as I can,” explains Albanese. “When I write a piece of music, the quietness is a fundamental part of my creative process…”

Albanese’s first two piano releases ” The Houseboat and the Moon” (Denovali Records, 2014) and “The Blur Hour” (Neue Meister, 2016), were concept albums focused on specific themes, while 2018’s “By the Deep Sea” (Neue Meister) was “more like an inner space”, a personal reflection on himself.

Federico’s new album entitled “Blackbirds and the Sun of October” was released February 7, 2025, on Sony’s new innovative, cross-genres label imprint XXIM.
