Francesco Tristano is a multifaceted artist—pianist, composer, and a musician equally at home in techno and jazz. Blending eras, genres, and styles, he has carved out a unique musical universe. A key figure in the movement bridging classical and electronic music, he naturally unites diverse audiences. He frequently collaborates with major artists such as Derrick May, Carl Craig, and Michel Portal.
Since 2017, Tristano has been releasing his own compositions with Sony Classical. He tours globally, performing in concert halls as well as electronic and experimental music festivals. Piano Circle Songs (2017) marked a return to solo piano, inspired by French impressionist composers. Tokyo Stories (2019) pays tribute to Japan, while On Early Music (2022) explores Renaissance and early Baroque repertoire—works by Frescobaldi, Gibbons, Bull, and Philips—paired with Tristano’s own baroque-inspired pieces.
In 2023, he launched his own label, intothefuture, and began recording Bach’s complete keyboard works—a lifelong project that remains at the heart of his artistic journey.
