The already wide output of Luca Belcastro is certainly crossed by a common trait: i.e, the communicative intent of his poetics. As a proof, here are included the compositions representing the creative period between 1998 and 2002.
One may enjoy and appreciate Belcastro's music on different levels: the subtleties of his composing and the complexity of his musical structure can be appreciated by both a musicologist and a learned listener accustomed to contemporary music. But at the same time, it allows - encourages it, actually - an immediate approach by means of the music's strong evocative character: actually, each musical event has its own life, following each other throughout the composition with an incessant interplay of repetitions and recalls to memory.
