Eight years ago, Carmelo Neri of More Nocturne Books asked me to collect my years of travel adventures, and write them in my charming Italian dialect. The bilingual project (Italian/English) is now on the 11th draft, readers are giving me great feedback, and I’m nearly ready to submit it to the publisher. You can read the current draft of my Introduction in Italian and English on my SUBSTACK channel, check it out!

Gino and I are working diligently on new songs for Kultur Shock!

Klanggalerie Records (Vienna) will produce a CD of Variete in Spring, 2025!

Varieté now on Bandcamp!

Stream or download my soundtrack to the classic silent film Varieté (Germany, 1925)! Commissioned by Seattle Theater Group, my 12-piece orchestra premiered the soundscore at the Paramount Theater during the snowpocalypse of 2019.

We received a standing ovation and glowing accolades at the premiere, but I missed the chance to get a good recording. Thanks to our Executive Producer, Britton Vincent, I was able to produce the recording in August at Studio Litho with engineer Floyd Reitsma. Steve Turnidge mastered the recording.

Stream or download this delicious sonic adventure on Bandcamp!

VARIANTI ~ The COVID Years
Music from Spoot Studios 2020-2024
Sound and Words by Amy Denio & Friends

In order of appearance: Amy Denio, voice-clarinet-alto sax-baritone horn-ukulele-guitars-cello-bass-accordion-percussion-Ableton programming / Cynthia Hughen, piano / Grispapi, voice / Chris Stromquist, drums / Steve Kirk & Tara Forth: orchestration. Recorded & mixed by Amy Denio. Four mixes by Mell Dettmer. Mastered by Steve Turnidge at Ultraviolet Studios, Seattle.

This music came to me on the fly at Spoot Studio between June 2020 and December 2023. The moods vary, and range of instruments weave a bittersweet soundtrack for the saga of the ever-evolving coronavirus.

Some songs are written in honor of beloved friends (living or dying or recently passed). Four Dr. Seuss tongue twisters popped out one November day. Crow Totem is the result of a collaboration with Steve Kirk and Tara Forth in the Seattle Composers Alliance, and the voyage settles down with a prayer for peace.

Coastal Salish tradition holds that songs are hunters, hanging out in the atmosphere, waiting for the right person to bring them to life. I am happy prey.

The Conversation

I’ve been collaborating sporadically with composer and multi-instrumentalist Steve Kirk.

Conversation is the result of my most recent collaboration with composer and multi-instrumentalist Steve Kirk.

What began as a simple guitar riff using only two fingers and letting open strings ring like a bell developed into a sonic adventure, thanks to Steve’s inventive orchestration. I played guitar and sax on the track, and Steve did everything else.

LISTEN to CONVERSATION

Enjoy!
