The man behind Audio70 is called Luigi Ballotta, a keyboard player from Italy. His passion for music showed early on, leading him to listen to various authors and genres from early childhood, such as the singers of the Italian music scene of the 70s and 80s, including Italo disco, jazzrock, progressive rock and electronic music/new age. Luigi then played in several rock bands in his area, among others a progressive rock group which would greatly influence his way of playing and composing music. In short, his passion for music and the musical genres was and still is unbridled. In addition to listening to music, a considerable part of his time is spent on studying the piano and on practicing his piano play.

All of the above culminated in a debut album that expresses well Luigi's understanding of music. His one rule is that there’s no rules!

Luigi practiced every single part of his tracks to perfection, to the point that for all except the drum parts and some repetitive synthesizer bits no post-production or computer editing was necessary.

To Audio70, music serves to express sensations - be that a distant or near memory or anything else that generates an emotion - which could hardly be expressed with words. In other words, playing and composing music allows Audio70 to express a hidden part of himself; to bring feelings and emotions hidden in the depths of the soul to the surface.
