Fancy Fan

Francesco Luigi Gigliotti

I was born in Kermanshah in Iran on August 1990. 
At the age of 13 I began studying Tombak. Tombak is the central drum in traditional Persian music.

From 2008 until 2012 I lived in India and got more inspired to explore and research the world of rhythms. Alongside Tombak, i have studied Frmae drum and Darbuka with Master Player Yshai Afterman.
 
After going back to Iran I began teaching Tombak and also attended different Tombak Workshops by other Tombak Masters in Tehran.  

I immigrated to Switzerland in 2017 and since then I have been giving several concerts with different musicians and organized Rhythm workshops and Private lessons at home.

I started playing and imitating other music. Later I studied drums and around the age of 14, I started studying percussion instruments at the conservatory in my city. At the same time, I studied with jazz drummers, such as Greg Hutchinson, and jazz harmony (Master's Degree in Percussion).

Towards the end of my studies, I got into improvised music and electro-acoustic music that I kept in my practice. After completing my studies, after a few years, I decided to start studying composition. I studied privately in a collective way with the composer Giorgio Netti. Now I'm in Basel and I'm studying for a bachelor's with Johannes Caspar Walter.

A comprehensive programa focused on classical and contemporary percussions (equivalent of Master degree). 

Conservatorio di Musica "L. Refice" Frosinone

I tried to have heterogeneous training by playing and studying different musical styles, different eras and different languages. I played with many musicians around Italy and Europe, trying to gain experience in various fields.

Among the most important I can mention having been part of the Wind Orchestra of Ferentino in which my interest in composition and orchestration was greatly fueled. I have composed music for small jazz ensembles and have experience with big bands. I got to write music for improvisational collectives. Also, I compose contemporary/avant-garde jazz music as a solo project and within other Italian artistic realities.
