Vishwanath_GI, aka Italian-born Gianni Intili, has been involved with the fine arts throughout his life. Starting as a painter, color theorist, sculptor and poet, he would infuse his art into architecture, planning and interior design. As a teen, Hendrix guitar riffs and distortions were music to GI; the sound of the Moog as played by Keith Emerson, ecstasy. Jazz Rock Fusion, Prog Rock and Electronic Music, was the music he enjoyed and transmitted in his radio show at FDU 440 AM College Radio. He wanted to play an instrument, but it was not until his early 50’s that he got his first Yamaha keyboard. Guided by many of his seasoned musician friends, that he jammed and learned improvisation. Then he started learning Music and Piano under the tutelage of Andrew Kadin. GI played with SPARSE, an Avant-garde Abstract Quartet who played the MusiXplore Summer Solstice Concert in Paterson NJ, along with ATONAL, Symmetry and ArtCrime. And other side projects like the ‘NONAME’ Trio, the duets of Bellagio and Tremezzo. Gianni is currently involved in a new collaboration ’LA ELECTRONICA‘ with Mario-Enrique Paoli, ‘CANOPUS RESONANCE’ with Ed Clark Cornell, and ME! Aka MONTCLAIR ELECTRIC! with Simon Pride. Gianni is also a founding member and the president of TE-MP0 aka The Electro-Music Performers Organization, a non-profit 501c3 which fosters and promotes the Development of the Electro-Music ethos through the organization and presentation of Live Performances, Seminars, Lectures, Exhibits and gatherings.
