Ludovico Franco Ludovico Franco Rome Ludovico Franco is an Italian trumpeter and improviser. He works in the artistic direction of Ekstasis - an organization of experimental music concerts inside churches in Rome - and is co-founder of the artistic laboratory and recording studio Labstract. In 2020, he released his first EP entitled "Rhetorica" on the Berlin label Syrphe. In his solo work he makes use of different instruments for electronic processing of acoustic sounds - he starts from the use of breath as the most ancestral form of sound externalization and transfigures it into a complex layering from which metallic rhythms and abrasive distortions emerge. ig: https://www.instagram.com/ludovicofranco_/
