about

Gaze in thine own heart
In 2014, I spent a few months in Los Angeles where I experienced a moment of intense transformation. Far away from the places and the people that formed my existential ways, I (re)discovered a forgotten dimension: the freedom of being who I am. Thanks to this freedom, some new aspects of my personality emerged - some good, others not. Gaze in thine own heart talks about these discoveries and the inner conflicts that derive from them. The general trend of the track, both in its formal aspects and its constitutive elements, is almost Manichaean with its clear juxtaposition of good and evil, light and shade. Even though this doesn’t represent me anymore, in fact, I replaced it with an attitude that focuses more on the complexity and contradictory nature of our souls, it was very important to me at the time. That’s what I wrote to a friend that listened to the piece just as I finished composing it and I named it after a quote from the poem “The Two Trees” by W. B. Yeats: « Gaze in thine own heart […] is about time passing, […] about falling and getting back up, about night and the light that can be found only in it, about listening, about waiting, about patience, about melancholy, about duality, about the sea, about conflict, about dissonance, about the transformation of the self. »

Paolo Cognetti Florence, Italy

Ciao, I'm happy you found me here!

I just released my album for piano solo Spring Will Come: conceived as an aural space for listeners to feel safe and connect with their own emotions, it's a journey through the first lockdown back in March 2020, when we all experienced fear, boredom and frustration but also courage, strength and hope.

It’s music only when it’s shared: let’s make some together! ... more
