GIANFRANCO PESCETTI Re-images Frank Sinatra’s Classic “Fly Me To The Moon” Ahead Of Fall 2023 Album
Electric music composer Gianfranco Pescetti spins his take on the classic “Fly Me To The Moon”
New Album Out Fall 2023
Electronic music composer and producer Gianfranco Pescetti has been on a prolific creative streak, releasing a wide range of ambient-tinged electronic music that straddles the line between lucid dreaming and rhythmic meditation. One of his most recent releases is a grandiose re-imagining of Frank Sinatra’s classic song “Fly Me to the Moon”.
“I was drawn to the beautiful, melancholic and nostalgic vibe of the original jazz standard that really resonates with me. It started out as an experiment to see if it could work as a dance track without losing some of its original vibe while giving it a fresh twist. I also decided to take a different approach and create an instrumental version which allowed me to expand and introduce new musical motifs.
“I also thought it would be cool to introduce it to a new audience. Plus, it has provided a refreshing break from writing my upcoming album which I am in the middle of.”
The Hawaii-based musician is gearing up to launch a new album in the fall of 2023, preceded by three fresh singles, “Sundog,” “Clownspunk,” and “The Wake.”“Fly Me to the Moon” is a stand alone single not to be included on the album.
