The Dogs of Rome by Michael Travisano Michael Travisano : The Dogs of Rome.
 Modern alternative piano to feel in your gut.

Every morning in Rome, a parade of people walk their dogs on the paths lining the ancient Aurelian wall that circles the city's center. Almost none of the dogs are on leashes and almost every one of them doesn't need to be. They're big and they're tiny. They hang out and jump and sniff. Some seem to be filled with unabashed playful joy, others seem contemplative, and some seem to be on a mission to find something new. The morning is filled with the sounds of their human companions yelling at them to hurry along and catch-up... 'Stella! Vieni! Andiamo! Vieni qui! Stella! STELLA!!! 'NDIAMO!!'

The music on The Dogs of Rome is about them, or more accurately, it is a reflection of the stuff of life through our relationships with them: their sharing of our joy, their worry with and for us, their unconditional love. All of the music was written with a direct view of the Aurelian wall and is both a dedication to Mike's time spent living in Italy as well as a reflection of the American popular music that continued to be a soundtrack playing in the background.
