Davide Perico Perspective on Kyoto Kisses

My name is Davide Perico, and I hail from the picturesque landscapes of Italy. I am a passionate composer for games and films, a sound designer with an ear for the intricate layers of audio, a beat maker who loves to experiment with rhythms and orchestra, and a producer who brings sounds to life. My journey in the world of music has been rich and diverse, having worked as a front-of-house engineer for renowned jazz and rock bands across the globe. 

This song is a perfect example of integration between film music and lo-fi beats, featuring complex string melodies combined with the classic drum samples and typical production techniques of this genre.

I don't remember the exact year, as I was just a child, but I remember perfectly the first time I heard the sound of a piano in the room, and I knew that music would be my life

Already at the age of 8 I knew that this would be my job. I never had any doubts, even in the hardest moments, when things didn't work out and I didn't have a home

This is definitely a lo-fi song, closely related to ambient lo-fi, with somewhat sleepy sounds. However, the melancholic melody and the presence of strings make it a crossover between different genres.

Speaking of lo-fi music, my journey began exactly 3 years ago, during the pandemic. My sound has evolved a lot, in step with the compositional aspect. The structure and arrangement have become more complex and full of details, for both the rhythmic and melodic parts. Collaborating with many artists has really helped me to stay humble and to learn a lot, both from a technical standpoint and in the emotional construction of a song.Lately I've been trying to give the orchestra important parts in my lofi songs. I would say that this is the most relevant aspect of my latest works

Influenced by my work in film, I always strive to tell a story. As in life, these stories can be very diverse. But my main themes are the search for inner peace, and respect for nature.

It would be great if David Gilmour played one of my melodies 

My music sounds like it is an immersive auditory journey, where melody serves as the guiding force, even within a compact two-minute beat. It seems to encapsulate a breadth of experiences and emotions, from the span of a lifetime to the intensity of a love story, the joy of a special day, or the longing of lost love. is designed to be evocative and narrative, allowing listeners to close their eyes and visualize the unfolding stories that my compositions aim to tell.

At the moment my favorite song is "On the Shore", especially for the synth theme, really dreamy, and for the beautiful string parts and guitars by my friend Yoshimitsu4432

David Gilmour

I would love to hear Chopin play his own compositions, as would Bach. They are two giants, two sources of constant inspiration, the idea of never being able to discover it haunts me. Gotta invent the time machine

It's not really important what people feel, but what they can feel. Also feel annoyance, but never indifference. That would mean failing as an artist

Calm, determined, organized

I'm only interested in defining my career as an artist. I am successful if I can ensure a dignified and happy life for my family, emotionally and financially 

My style is constantly evolving, but my maximum effort is to bring melody to the center of lofi music. Possibly played with real instruments. 

I honestly don't think they play such an important role today. But I think we should win it back. The world is lost without art, without a gaze that knows how to admire, without thinking of buying or worse, conquering
