Angelo Di Loreto

(1990 - 2020)

In memoriam

On October 17, 2020 we lost our dear friend and our musical brother Angelo Di Loreto.
Angelo was part of my beginning, present and future since I moved to New York almost 10 years ago. A phenomenal musician, a generous soul and a dear friend.
I'll miss you.

Angelo lived a very full, giving and productive life. He also lived his adult life with anxiety and depression. We want this album to be a beautiful and uplifting memory of him. A tribute to his incredible playing, his beautiful compositions and his never-ending love for music.

UPDATE: JULY 2021

After 8 long months of waiting, the final results of the toxicology report have come through. It turns out that Angelo had a heart attack, due to coronary disease - two blocked arteries, and an enlarged heart. He had no idea of the condition. Other than his normal dose of Lexapro, there were NO other chemicals or alcohol in his system.

The family was lead to believe he took his own life, as there were two empty pill bottles next to him - prescriptions that he had filled that day. It's a mystery what happened to those pills, but Angelo did not take them.

It's incredibly sad that he is gone. He was a wonderfully talented person, and just an amazing human being. But the Di Loreto family - and all of us - can feel some relief that Angelo was not in the kind of emotional distress that was initially indicated.

In the last month we worked together with Angelo's sister: Marina Di Loreto on a short video for the album.
Marina is a dancer and in this video she improvised a choreography around the theme of the album: taking first steps during uncertain times and how to maneuver without reference.
Angelo, besides an amazing musician was also a professional voice actor. The voice over in this video is Angelo's voice.
