Not only his name (L.C.A.O: linear combination of atomic orbitals) but also the music and artwork of the studied chemist are influenced by the world of atoms. After his musical education as a guitarist in some post-rock/new wave bands he started his solo project LCAO. His first longplayer was released in 2015 on the Portuguese label Container Music and reached Airplays in the radio show “Kaleidoskop” of the band Jazzanova on Radio 1, and on the Portuguese station Antena 3. His tracks made it into the record box of Rui Vagas and to the Pop-Kultur Festival in Berlin, among others.
In his own monthly radio show “The Periodic Music of Elements” on RBL Berlin, the Italian-born Berliner-by-choice presents his broad musical habitus.

Aufbau EP (2020, https://schrott-rec.bandcamp.com/album/aufbau):
The three tracks condense the casted-away-moments on the vast oceans. Produced in the soulful leisure hours while working on a ship, the EP delivers a statement for freedom. Somewhere between warm Indie Electronica and pleasantly relaxed leftfield House, the music doesn’t care which drawer it is stuffed into. LCAO’s approach to productions from a more non-electronic perspective, creates the special narrative crossover form of the songs or as he says himself: “eclectic electronic music”. Aesthetics more reminiscent of soundtracks are translated by LCAO into the language of electronic music.
