Cristiano Pomante stands out as one of the most interesting musical personalities of his generation. He debuts in 2015 with his first album “La Storia”, published by renowned Roman label Alfamusic, ranking into the Top Ten of best Italian vibraphonists (Jazzit Awards 2015). In the last few years he started considering the experience of music as a wide range communication tool, acting as a true outsider of the Italian musical scene.
With the release of his second album “Libero Pensatore” (self produced, 2020) the vibraphonist detaches himself from the instrument, making space for sound research through the study of composition and other instruments.
For inspiration, Pomante refers to varied and articulated resources (Varèse and Metheny, Bartok and Corea, Grisey and Shorter, Debussy and Romitelli) that highlight his nature as an Italian musician deeply linked to the entire ‘900 European musical culture. Refusing to be subjected to the logic of the global music industry, Pomante places himself out of any specific style, pursuing only a truthful and constant communication path.
