Exploration.
Creation.
Achievement.
Classical music, jazz music, electronics, and rock music have been the inspirational core for my compositions. Mozart, The Beatles, Miles Davis, Mark Guiliana, are some of the many artists that have contributed to create what I am today.
Lucia, driven by a profound love for film scores and inspired by Ennio Morricone and John Williams, infuses her music with cinematic depth and emotional resonance. Experience Lucia’s transformative compositions today for a journey of sonic discovery, where innovation and melody blend seamlessly.

Drum & Electronic
Verdrone EP.
Verdrone is an experimental EP born from the collaboration between Lucia Fenzi and Enrico Lucchese, blending live drumming with modular synths and textured electronic elements.
The project reflects a deep exploration of mood and atmosphere, where organic drum performances merge seamlessly with bold, distorted sounds, creating a rich and immersive soundscape.
Each track tells a unique story, from the melancholic tones of Sad Birds to the cinematic journey of Faro Five Raw. The hypnotic pulses of Crave C. Verdrone contrast with the unsettling dream-like qualities of Bad Dreams, while Three Something rounds out the collection with intricate rhythms and layered improvisation.
Verdrone is more than a collection of tracks—it’s an emotional exploration of imperfections, contrasts, and the creative tension between human spontaneity and electronic precision. This EP invites listeners to dive into its dynamic and evocative world, where every sound feels alive and full of intention.

Hard Desk
Hard Desk
An eclectic London-based instrumental duo formed with Giacomo in 2018. Originally intended to be a studio collaboration, it has now expanded into an encompassing universe of musical experimentation, with both studio and live performances.
Lucia’s genre-fluid compositions, arranged and produced as a duo, transcend the 20th century categorisations of music. The underlying musical influences are wide-ranging, with inspiration taken from: the arrangement of baroque music; the harmonies of 20th century classical music; the melodies of soundtrack scores; the sound design of early electronic music; and the song structure and improvisation of contemporary jazz.
Our music aims to be both universal and spontaneous, leading the listener on an experiential journey: a synthesis of our times and what we artistically believe in.
The drumming ranges from ultra-tight drum’n’bass beats to atmospheric percussion soundscapes, intertwined with modern jazz drumming, with Lucia expanding into electronic drumkits, looping and semi-modular synthesizer for sound effects. Together with Giacomo, we have developed drumkits of round robin samples to add movement to otherwise static sequences. Giacomo’s sound palette includes a mix of analog and early digital synths, controlled through purpose-built interactive scripts, and a custom setup of midi controllers, including a motion controller, to bring synthetic sounds to life.

Lucia Fenzi Jazz Trio
Lucia Fenzi Jazz Trio
Marco Vavassori on double bass, Samuele Duse on piano and myself on drums founded a jazz trio around 2010, in Italy.
Our trio was actually performing around the country, in jazz festivals, clubs and bars.
Our music was characterized by modern sounds reminding of Avishai Cohen and Brad Mehldau, but strongly contaminated by bebop, cool and modal jazz, analyzing and interpreting with a different lecture some of the most famous authors as Bud Powell, Clifford Brown, Wayne Shorter, Miles Davis, Ahmad Jamal and John Coltrane.
An album has been recorded, spacing inbetween some tracks originally composed by me and other standard jazz revisiting and re arrangements.
