A New Musical Chapter: The Evolution of Rimauri
Dear friends (male and female) and supporters,
Sono Rimauri e da oltre cinquant'anni ho il privilegio di esplorare vari mondi musicali.
I have performed classical chamber music as well as more contemporary sounds such as Chill-out, World Music, New Age, Afro, Ambient, Indian classical music, Ethnic, Jazz, Blues, Rock, Funk, and Electronic music.
Throughout this journey, my music has always reflected passion and experimentation, never adhering to a specific genre but allowing myself to be inspired by the moment's emotions.
In the 70s with Edizioni Ciclamino, I produced my first Long Playing on vinyl, called: Tuscan Castle in Country Seat, where I combined electronic music played with the Moog analog oscillator keyboard at the same time and then mixed it, to my piano.
I also used other instruments (my faithful Rickenbacker mod 325 Rosemorris electric guitar from 1968, the Fender Stratocaster, in addition to the electric bass, the drums, Celtic harp, African ethnic drums (open at the bottom), small Indian percussions, and Tibetan bells and drums) by learning to play wind instruments such as the oboe, flute, and clarinet.
I take this opportunity to remember and thank my two music teachers: the Orchestra director, Prof. Angelo Cavallaro, who taught me "Musical Composition" with the guitar and the Flute.
My dear friend Maestro Antonino Luciani taught me musical sound design and helped and taught me how to mix music on documentary videos. At that time, editing was "edited" by cutting the tapes with cutters, shortening them (or lengthening them), and reattaching them together. Maestro A. R. Luciani also taught me wind instruments such as the oboe and the clarinet, played on my music in the Long Playing "Atmosfere".
M˚ Antonino R. Luciani was also a researcher and I was very fascinated by listening to his theories: I spoke with him at length about the resonance of musical strings. This topic has fascinated me since I was a boy, and I remember the Maestro A.R. Luciani mentioned to me that there was a possibility that the right and left hemispheres of the human brain could synchronize together. He also asked me not to tell anyone about his sound research.
Today, I find myself at a turning point. After the pandemic and some personal and professional changes, I have decided to explore new ways to share my music while also staying creatively and professionally active. I have never aimed to make money from my music, but time and circumstances now lead me to consider this aspect.
I am currently working on remixes and reinterpretations of some of my pieces, particularly adding percussion and new sounds to previously lacking compositions. This shift does not signify a change in direction but rather a natural evolution of my artistic journey, allowing me to bring old tracks to life in exciting and innovative ways.
Rest assured, my original music will always be available, and I will continue to produce new works with the same authenticity as ever. I want to offer you the opportunity to discover different nuances of my creations.
For those of you who follow me on Spotify, YouTube, and other platforms, I invite you to stay tuned for these new releases. I would love to hear your feedback and know what you think about this new direction.
Thank you all for your continued support. Your presence and listening inspire me to keep creating and innovating.
See you soon, 
Un Nuovo Capitolo Musicale: L'Evoluzione di Rimauri
Cari amici e amiche, sostenitori e sostenitrici,
Sono Rimauri, e per oltre cinquant'anni ho avuto il privilegio di esplorare diversi mondi musicali, spaziando dalla musica classica da camera a sonorità più moderne come: chill out, world music, new age, afro, ambient, musica classica indiana, etnica, jazz, blues, rock, funk, musica elettronica.
Durante questo percorso, la mia musica è sempre stata un riflesso di passione e sperimentazione, senza mai sentirmi obbligato a seguire un genere preciso, ma piuttosto lasciandomi ispirare dalle emozioni del momento.
Negli anni ‘70 con le Edizioni Ciclamino, produssi il mio primo Long Playng in vinile, chiamato: Tuscan castle in country seat, dove abbinavo musica elettronica suonata con la tastiera a oscillatori analogica Moog in contemporanea e poi mixandola, al mio pianoforte.
Quindi anche altri strumenti (la mia fedele chitarra elettrica Rickenbacker mod 325 Rosemorris del 1968, la Fender Stratocaster, ho imparato a suonare e utilizzanto il basso elettrico, la batteria, arpa celtica, tamburi etnici africani (aperti sotto), piccole percussioni indiane e campane e tammburi tibetani. Ho usato imparandoli a suonare anche strumenti a fiato come oboe, flauto, clarinetto.
Colgo l'occasione qui per ricordare e ringraziare i miei due maestri di musica: il direttore di orchestra professor Angelo Cavallaro che mi ha insegnato la "Composizione musicale" con la chitarra e il flauto traverso.
Il caro amico Maestro Antonino Luciani che mi ha insegnato la sonorizzazione musicale e aiutato ed insegnato a mixare le musiche sui video documentari. A quel tempo l'editing si "montava" tagliando i nastri con dei cutter accorciandoli (o allungandoli) e riattaccandoli tra loro. Dal Maestro Luciani ho anche imparato a suonare strumenti a fiato come l'oboe e il clarinetto, suonati sulle mie musiche nel Long Playng 'Antiche Atmosphere.
Oggi mi trovo a un punto di svolta.
Dopo la pandemia e alcuni cambiamenti personali e professionali, ho deciso di esplorare nuove modalità per condividere la mia musica e, allo stesso tempo, mantenermi attivo creativamente e professionalmente. Non ho mai pensato di fare soldi con la mia musica, ma il tempo e le circostanze mi portano ora a considerare anche questo aspetto.
Sto lavorando su remix e rielaborazioni di alcuni dei miei brani, in particolare aggiungendo percussioni e nuove sonorità a composizioni che finora non le avevano. Questo non rappresenta un cambiamento di rotta, ma piuttosto un’evoluzione naturale del mio percorso artistico, che mi permette di far rivivere vecchie tracce in modi nuovi e stimolanti.
Non temete, la mia musica originale rimarrà sempre disponibile e continuerò a produrre nuove opere con la stessa autenticità di sempre. Voglio solo offrirvi l’opportunità di scoprire sfumature diverse delle mie creazioni.
Per chi di voi mi segue su Spotify, YouTube, e altre piattaforme, vi invito a restare sintonizzati per queste nuove uscite. Mi piacerebbe sentire i vostri feedback e sapere cosa ne pensate di questa nuova direzione.
Grazie a tutti per il vostro continuo supporto. La vostra presenza e i vostri ascolti mi spingono a continuare a creare e innovare.
