Francesca Guccione, Frieder Nagel
Movement VII
"Movement VII (feat. Frieder Nagel)" unfolds like a slow-motion breath — Francesca Guccione weaves soft harmonies, ambient textures, and a gentle synth pulse into a meditative neoclassical composition exploring stillness, momentum, and emotional release. Francesca explains: "Movement VII was already there, complete, yet it felt like something was missing — another breath, a different perspective. I immediately thought of Frieder Nagel, whose approach to electronics is truly unique and full of personality. His touch opened spaces I didn’t know existed.” Frieder adds: "Movement VII for me is about small, simple things that evolve steadily into something massively overwhelming — like sunrise or a spark of hope that becomes the start of a revolution. Francesca creates rich imagery and blurs the lines between traditional and modern instruments — it’s all about sonic variety, never about the means.”
Francesca Guccione
Fascinated from the very beginning by the relation between sound and image, she combined her violin studies with those in composition and film scoring, earning a Master's Degree in this discipline with the highest grades.
Her love for travelling lead her to perform in many cities around the world, including New York, Toronto, Dublin and Alexandria of Egypt.
In 2021 she released for the French label Whales Records, her first album of neoclassical music, “Muqataea”, featuring the famous cellist and composer Giovanni Sollima as the artistic director of the project; afterwards, several international artists, including Robot Koch, Julien Marchal, Hélène Vogelsinger and Throwing Snow made several reworks of some of the tracks on this album. Also for Whales Records, in 2022 she released the EP “Utopia Aerial View”, produced in collaboration with Moog Music. In addition to Whales Records she also collaborates with other record labels, including the Canadian Enjou Music, for which she released three singles, the French InFiné Music, for which she released a rework of the track “Hysope” by Arandel, and the German labels Modularfield and 7K! Records with which she released the single "Mare Tranquillitatis" included in the collection "String Layers Vol. II". In September 2024 she released her second album, "The Geometry of Time," for the Berlin-based record label Neue Meister. The album was preceded by two arrangements for strings and analog synthesizers of two tracks by the Icelandic composer Jóhann Jóhannsson.
On invitation from Moog Music she performed at Superbooth 22 in Berlin, where she presented an original composition for violin and analog synthesizers; this experience lead to a collaboration that continues to this day.
In 2023 she collaborated on the soundtrack of the film "Lubo," by Italian director Giorgio Diritti, which features Franz Rogowski as the lead actor. The film competed at the 80th Venice Film Festival being highly praised by the jury. She also collaborated on the soundtrack for the Finnish film "Death Is a Problem for the Living", which was presented in competition at the Rome Film Festival 2023.
She’s s currently a researcher at the Francesco Venezze Conservatory of Rovigo, where she’s researching the life and musical production of Jóhann Jóhannsson.
Her creativity is poetic and suspended between reality and imagination; a gateway to hidden worlds.More releases
