“Spregiudicato rocker il chitarrista Luca Nostro nel Romitelli di Trash Tv Trance scritto nel 2002. Un pezzo completamente hendrixiano? Macché! Qui c’è la scienza passionale della potenza destituente del rock, c’è una ricercata arte della distruzione della musica contemporanea a-sistematica”. Mario Gamba, il Manifesto

“Magnifica l’interpretazione … che dà Luca Nostro al brano per chitarra elettrica Trash TV Trance (2002).” CPaolo Tarsi, Alfabeta2

This concert, premiered in Auditorium Parco della Musica in 2014, is mainly dedicated too Italian and American composers of contemporary music that brought electric guitar to its extremes. From the soft and groovy minimalism to the rock, psichedelic, noise and electronic music, electric guitar is such a versatile instrument that can be played and used as a tool in different musical contexts. This solo concert by Luca Nostro is the attempt to gather some of them. With this programme Luca performed all over the world for Italian Institutes and in other prestigious venues. His version of Trash TV Trance by Romitelli at Rassegna di Nuova Musica has been broadcasted by Radio Tre, the main public Italian cultural channel.
