Trained as a classical pianist and having recorded a number of classical albums, Francesco broke new ground with ‘Not for piano’, the album that launched the French label inFine in 2007, containing his compositions as well as acclaimed piano versions of Detroit techno classics of ‘Strings of life’ and ‘The bells’. Francesco teamed up with Detroit’s own Carl Craig for a remix of ‘The melody’, and, subsequently, project Versus (featuring symphony orchestra and Moritz von Oswald) as well as the legendary Innerzone Orchestra (as pianist, keyboardist and arranger).

Luxembourg-born, Tristano visited New York’s Juilliard School during five years. The city of New York opened his ears to electronic and club music. Tristano has released twelve albums, among them recordings of Bach Goldberg Variations and complete keyboard concertos, Luciano Berio complete piano works, and Girolamo Frescobaldi Toccatas. ‘Not for Piano’ (inFine, 2007), presented his own compositions as well as versions of techno classics at the piano.

‘Idiosynkrasia’ (inFine, 2010), recorded at Carl Craig’s Planet E-communications in Detroit, was released to critical acclaim in 2010. ‘bachCage’, produced by Moritz von Oswald, was released on DGG in 2011. Tristano is a Deutsche Grammophon artist and he just released his third album “scandale” with Alice Sara Ott on that label. His collaborative tracks and remixes have been released on labels such as Innervisions, CLR, Visionquest, PIAS, Infine and Get Physical.
