Pianist and aerospace engineer Leonardo Barilaro releases his new EP ‘Eyeland’, tribute to the island of Malta, his home since 5 years, and symbol of planet Earth travelling in a sea of stars.

‘Eyeland’ is a blend of introspective contemporary space music with a neo-classical and synthwave nuance. This experimental project has also a combination of prepared piano and synth.

In the 4 instrumental tracks he merges his style with the guitars of Marino Di Nino and the drumming of Andrea Giovannoli, result of the music research developed in the last years.

All tracks have been produced in Italy by sound engineer Paolo Bernardini at Medialica Studio. The artwork of the EP is designed by visual artist Chiara Rovoletto and enhances the concept behind the music, representing in a futuristic way one of the most recognizable icons of Malta, the Eye of Osiris, symbol of protection for sailors at sea.

The opening track, ‘Seed’, is the very first composition Leonardo created when he moved to Malta and opened for him a new path. ‘The Wait’ is inspired by a period lived thousands of kilometres far from his beloved wife, ‘Valley of Heaven’ is a tribute to the Maltese archipelago and an utopian wish of seeing it having an evolution respectful of the environment and aiming at a technological healthy future, while ‘Sortie’ represents the aiming at a continuous improvement of our spiritual life.

Leonardo is an Italian artist and is developing his music research where he merges with different live techniques piano and synth, designing the steps to the first concert on Mars. 

He played in several countries like Italy, Germany, UK, Netherlands, and Turkey. He teamed up with many artists during the years, like Yossi Sassi (Orphaned Land co-founder), Mariangela Demurtas (Tristania, Ardours), Aliki (winner of Britain’s Got Talent) and Anna Utopia Giordano (international multi-talented and awards winner artist).  

His works have premiered in Malta for Valletta Cultural Agency, Malta International Arts Festival, Spazju Kreattiv and Italian Cultural Center, receiving wide coverage on national newspapers, TV and radio like Times of Malta, Lovin Malta, TVM, Kultura News, NETFM.
