Massimo Carrieri - "From My Journey"

Certainly! Here's the translation of the provided Italian text into English:

**Pianist, composer, and arranger with classical and jazz training**, graduated from the G. Verdi Conservatory in Milan in Classical Organ, Jazz Piano, Composition, and Jazz Arrangement. Originally from Martina Franca, Milanese by adoption, his teachers include: Giancarlo Parodi, Antonio Zambrini, Umberto Petrin, Marco Tutino, Pino Jodice, Luis Bacalov.

Contemporary by vocation, his music combines organization and improvisation, past and present. A rather heterogeneous background leads him to experiences and collaborations of various kinds, from theater to pop, from musicals to TV. From the beginning, his professional activity develops both as an instrumentalist and as an eclectic composer and arranger, involving symphony orchestras (“I Pomeriggi Musicali” and “G. Cantelli” of Milan, the International Orchestra of Italy), big bands (Verdi Jazz Orchestra, Salerno Jazz Orchestra), Rai programs, stage music for theatrical performances, recording studios, and figures of international prominence. Among these are notable names such as: Fabrizio Bosso, Chiara Civello, Antonella Ruggero, Giovanni Falzone, Nicola Conte, Gioele Dix... to name just a few. His orchestral works have been conducted by Alessandro Ferrari, Ermir Krantja, Alberto Veronesi.

Characterized by a marked Mediterranean nature, he is fueled by a personal attraction to “world music,” images, journeys, and extra-European cultures. All elements that have distinguished his idea of making music, a thought far removed from any form of classification that does not confine him to a particular genre. A writing style sometimes more connected to architectural logic or purely dictated by clear expressive needs, a sensitive disposition that draws inspiration from extra-musical or inherently autobiographical subjects, an attitude clearly observable in his productions. "Seven" is his debut album, with seven compositions of a romantic/Central European nature that present him to the public as a composer and performer, followed by "Zahir," a concept album where typical "world music" atmospheres emerge, introspective, symbolic, spiritual work; "In a Baroque Mood," an album blending ancient music and contemporary languages. Among his most representative scores is the "Pan-American Suite," a composition for rhythmic-symphonic orchestra which he personally conducted during its first performance at the prestigious Sala Verdi of the Milan Conservatory. He has brought his music to Europe, the United States, and Australia.
