Vivaldi is much more harmonious and creative, even in its sad and melancholic music vivaldi consege be cheerful. Many people prefer bach because his music was disseminated by his sons and Mozart, and the music was not hidden. Vivaldi's music fell into darkness for centuries so it does not make people's minds.

Angel Vivaldi (born June 13, 1985) is an American guitarist, songwriter, producer, philanthropist and environmentalist. Voted 'third best guitarist' in 2014 by Prog-Sphere,^[1] he began his solo career in 2003. Vivaldi has self-released five records, Revelations, The Speed of Dark, Universal Language, Away with Words: Part 1, and Synapse. In 2015, he released a cover of Joe Satriani's 'Crystal Planet' single. Vivaldi is known for his virtuoso guitar playing style and cinematic music videos.

Early life[edit]

Born in New Jersey to an Italian-American and Puerto Rican family, Vivaldi grew up on dance music, freestyle music and Spanish music.^[2] He started playing guitar at 15 and is self-taught. He cites Nirvana, Megadeth, Yngwie Malmsteen and Eric Johnson as early influences.^[3] Vivaldi was strongly discouraged from becoming a musician by his family and had little support from them.^[4]

Music career[edit]

Early career[edit]

Vivaldi performed live regionally for four years before recording any music (other than demos). After releasing his debut album, 'Revelations', in 2008 (which since then has been removed from all outlets), he joined Black Market Hero. He released his second EP titled The Speed of Dark in 2009 (which saw a re-recording/re-release in August 2016) and uploaded his first play-through of Acid Reign on YouTube shortly thereafter.

He competed in Guitar Player magazine's 'Guitar Superstar Competition' in 2010 with judges George Lynch and Gary Hoey.^[5]

Universal Language, Vext[edit]

Released in May 2011, Vivaldi recorded Universal Language with producer Will Putney. It became a viral success following the release of two music videos for 'A Mercurian Summer' and 'A Martian Winter'. Despite critical acclaim and success, it would be four years before any extensive touring was done.

Shortly after the release of Universal Language, Tommy Vext (ex-Divine Heresy, ex-Snot, Bad Wolves) approached Vivaldi about joining his supergroup Vext which featured members of Mutiny Within. Vivaldi recorded and performed on the band's debut EP titled Impermanence. Vext was offered record deals however Vivaldi left due to not being ready to sign a contract.^[6]

Away with Words and present day[edit]

2014 would see the release of Away with Words: Part 1 which was also produced by Will Putney. The songs are titled from 1 to 5 in Morse Code. This album cycle also saw two music video releases for the songs '▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄' (One) and '▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄' (Two). Vivaldi began touring in 2015 with a headlining US/Canada tour with The Algorithm. He continued to tour extensively throughout 2016, ending with co-headlining US tour with Gus G (Ozzy Osbourne, Firewind).

It was announced in 2015 that Away with Words: Part 2, a primarily acoustic release, would be put on hold to focus instead on a full album called Synapse.^[7] Though the album was slated to be released in 2016, its eventual release date was October 6, 2017.

In 2017, he released the album Synapse.

Philanthropic work[edit]

Vivaldi participated in the annual Jemfest event held in Orlando, Florida. Its aim was to raise money for Steve Vai's Make A Noise Foundation. Vivaldi performed in 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2010 which featured a masterclass from Steve Vai.

Following the events of the 2016 Orlando nightclub shooting, Vivaldi broadcast a six-hour live stream to raise funds for the victims and their families.^[8]

After losing his friend to ALS in 2014, Vivaldi launched a live broadcast with Chris Letchford of Scale the Summit called 'Shred for ALS', raising money for ALS research at the ALS Therapy Development Institute.

He has also spoken out as a gay man in support of the LGBT community.^[9]

He practices meditation stating that it helps with getting focused while on tour or in the studio.^[10][11]

Influences[edit]

Vivaldi holds Kurt Cobain as one of his biggest inspirations to picking up the guitar.^[12] Today his influences include Carmen Miranda, Kaki King, Jean Luc Ponty, Evergrey, Misery Signals, Parkway Drive and Mattias Eklundh.^[13]

Equipment[edit]

Vivaldi had been a long-time user of seven string Ibanez guitars, primarily an RG7 called 'Dorothy'. He can be seen using various Ibanez 7-strings throughout his videos, but he records and performs mainly with 'Dorothy'.

He uses Mesa Boogieamps, Fractal Audio Axe FX 2 XL and DiMarzio pickups.^[14]

In 2018 Vivaldi was endorsed by guitar manufacturer Charvel, which made him a seven string variant of their 'DK-24' as a signature model.^[15]

Take one of the most established orchestras, put it in one of the world’s most famous concert halls, and then set aside all conventions. This formula summarizes the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra’s 2014 Kennismakingsconcert ('meeting concert'). The orchestra wants to attract new audiences by presenting itself in a more or less informal setting with “classical hits”. In practice, this meant an original seating plan, creative lighting, juxtaposing Baroque and 20th century music, and an audience that applauded out of joy, at the moments they felt like it – and not out of convention.

The normal seating plan of the Concertgebouw had been changed for the occasion: an oval stage had arisen in the middle of the hall, with chairs grouped around them. The Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, which appeared in reduced formation, fitted perfectly on this small stage. The orchestra chose one of the most accessible works for its audience to get acquainted with them: Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons. Although this work will have been familiair to everyone, hearing it live was a real treat. To make it even better, the different seasons by Vivaldi were juxtaposed with Astor Piazzolla’s The Four Seasons of Buenos Aires. In this way, the audience had the pleasure of hearing Piazzolla’s Buenos Aires Summer (Verano porteño) right after Vivaldi’s Spring. This juxtaposition of Piazzolla’s and Vivaldi’s works may have been ‘unusual’, as one of the spectators remarked, but it was unusual in a very refreshing and pleasant way.

The RCO played without a conductor, as was common practice in Vivaldi’s time. Instead, violinists Vesko Eschkenazy and Liviu Prunaru alternated as concertmaster, Eschkenazy leading Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, Prunaru Piazzolla’s. The result was a pleasant variation between different musical styles and performance practices.

Eschkenazy performed with fire and passion in the faster parts of Vivaldi’s Seasons. Unfortunately the slower parts were a bit uninspired. But most of the time he played with an ear for attention, and, not unimportantly, a big smile on his face. He lead the orchestra to play the music with plenty of detail and excellent dynamics. Especially during the wilder parts, Eschkenazy proved that Vivaldi’s music can rock as much as Piazzolla’s. Prunaru sounded a little tentative at the beginning, and at risk of being overshadowed by the rest of the orchestra, but this improved as the concert proceeded. Prunaru created some impressive glissandos, not to mention the range of other bizarre sounds Piazzolla’s music unleashed from his violin. The whole orchestra surprised the audience by releasing noises from their instruments one did not know they could make.

With mood lighting matching each of the seasons, spectacular music by both Vivaldi and Piazzolla, and the original setting, this concert was more than a concert: it was an experience. RCO, it has been a pleasure meeting you!
