In 2002, Leonardo Barbadoro (class of 1987), guitarist in several groups of post rock inspiration, took the name of Koolmorf Widesen and begins composing his first pieces with the help of his small Korg synthesizer, an old Roland drum machine and a guitar pushed to extreme feedback.

A few years later, the first official disc for the Roman label (ECG) is the first Koolmorf Widesen disc officially out in May 2007. During the year several pieces were used for some contemporary art exhibitions in Milano, Venice, Rome, Florence and Genova. After a promo CD in May 2008, Koolmorf Widesen’s second album “Melodies Fork Now” is released for the Italian label Eves. After the first self-titled released album in 2007 for ECG there were two years of hard work: many intense live performances (in England, Scotland, Belgium, Holland, Italy and Austria where he shared the stage with artists like Apparat, Dj Spooky, The Bug, 808 State, Bong Ra, Fuck Buttons, Tim Exile, Mochipet, Harmonic 313 just to mention a few) and some meticulous music writing composition.

These two things gave birth to the two drivers which exist in Melodies Fork Now; on one side we can find the pulsations of nervous and abrasive jungle, of breakcore, dubstep, acid-electro and a preference for an analogue sound. On the other side we can find the most intellective soul of music research, some forays in the traditional and electroacoustic composition for strings and piano and some post-rock guitars. Not forgetting a rich series of music cinema quotations that the most astute listeners can find all through the album. The CD is rich in influences, contaminations and in experimentations. In 2009 he contributed to a few compilations with some origingal tracks for the following labels: Illphabetik (Denmark), The Centrifuge (England), Caoutchou (Belgium), Zenatron (Italy) & Ideation Rec. (Scotland).

At present Leonardo Barbadoro is attending High Education College Cherubini in Florence to take a degree in composition and electronic music and he’s composing new pieces for his follow up EPs.
