Daniele Gottardo

Italian guitarist and composer, Daniele Gottardo, has developed a reputation worldwide, not just only for his virtuosity and versatility, but for the depth and sophistication of his compositions, which blend electric guitar and chamber orchestra.

As a solo artist, Daniele has produced two albums: Frenzy of Ecstasy (2010, Digital Nations) and Non Temperato (2014, self-released). His albums stand out for their highly innovative use of electric guitar within a compositional and orchestral context. Additionally, his jazz-rock trio, The Nuts, released a bold debut album, Giant Nuts (2016, self-released), a ferocious combination of chops, energy, and musical sophistication.

On INkBlot, Gottardo draws influence from wherever his insatiable mind wanders—early 20th Century Russian composers (Stravinsky, Lyadov, Rimsky-Korsakov), symphonic poems, modern rock and metal and electronic music, Pointillism, German Expressionism, bipolar and borderline personality disorder, synesthesia.
