A few milestones
From the first piano
to composing.
As a child, I spent hours at an old piano my parents had inherited. That was where it began.
From six to eighteen, I studied with a teacher from the Metz conservatory. I remain grateful for that teaching.
My wife and friends regularly listened to pieces I had shared with them years earlier. Their encouragement led me to release them for others to enjoy.
Biolesens began in spring 2020, while watching birds through a window. It became my first release that September.

In my own words.
01How did the piano come into your life?
It began with an old piano inherited by his parents. As a child, Giorgio spent a lot of time playing it. Later, friends and his wife encouraged him to share his compositions: they were still listening to pieces he had given them years before.
02Where did Biolesens begin?
During the first lockdown in spring 2020, Giorgio watched flocks of birds through his window. Their changes of direction became a starting point for the piece. The notes followed their movements, with a feeling of accompanying them. He suggests listening while watching nature.
03What music do you turn to?
He mentions Claude Debussy’s compositions, as well as Ronald Jenkees’s work on synthesizers. At the time of the interview, he was also listening to cellist Stjepan Hauser. Different influences, approached with the same curiosity.
04How did you learn to play?
From the age of six to eighteen, Giorgio took lessons with a teacher from the Metz conservatory, whom he remembers with gratitude. Among the pieces he studied, Chopin’s Fantaisie-Impromptu stands out as particularly demanding.
