. Anfrando Maiola, known by his stage
name Koto, was a musical genius whose instrumental Italo disco compositions
captured the hearts of millions. Born on February 7, 1954, in Parma,
Italy, his passion for music started at a young age. With a focus
on instrumental pieces, Koto's songs showcased his mastery of the
synthesizer, creating a unique blend of melodies that resonated deeply
with his listeners. It was during the magical era of the 1980s that
Anfrando's musical genius truly shone, as he became a beacon of light
in the Italo Disco scene. Anfrando explained that he considered
voices to be secondary to the music itself. He believed that instrumental
tracks allowed the listener to connect with the melodies on a more
personal level. Starting his musical journey as a drummer and later
learning piano and synths, Anfrando's talent evolved over the years,
leading him to create records that would leave an indelible mark on
the music industry. With an impressive array of instruments,
including the TR 808-BASS LINE-SEQUENCER MC 500 ROLAND, OBERHEIM-KORG
LAMBDA, and lately VIRUS-NORDLEAD-SUPERNOVA, Anfrando's studio became
a sanctuary for his creative process. The process of creating a successful
song, according to Anfrando, varied in time and creative energy. Some
days were more fruitful than others, but he believed that a truly
exceptional idea struck him immediately, even though it didn't guarantee
success. Anfrando recognized the importance
of honoring Italo Disco's distinctive sound. He understood the challenges
faced by artists attempting to recreate the nostalgic magic of the
past with modern technology. Yet, despite the difficulties, he remained
committed to infusing his music with the essence of Italo Disco. Anfrando's
determination to strike a balance between creativity, commercial viability,
and technological advancements showcased his unwavering love for the
genre and his desire to create music that resonated with his devoted
audience. As he had reached the end of his life
journey, I must express my heartfelt gratitude to Anfrando Maiola,
also known as Koto, for gracing us with his presence and sharing his
extraordinary story. |
