Violin, live loops, vocals, toy instruments
Italian born violin wizard Luca Ciarla owns the stage with his fiddle and a few toy instruments. With a loop pedal he performs live all the parts, playing the violin also like a guitar, a cello or a percussion. In this imaginative landscape Luca sings, whistles, plays other little instruments and adds new virtuoso passages; music is continuously evolving into a dazzling solOrkestra. The Mediterramìa program features unusual arrangements of traditional Italian folk tunes, music from the Mediterranean area and original compositions.
