Although he played bass and guitar in various underground bands in his home country Milan, his love is for the piano. Especially since the musician, who now lives in Berlin, met Jessica Einaudi and founded the duo La Blanche Alchemie with her. Now "The Houseboat And The Moon" is the solo debut of Federico Albanese, on which he bundles all the experiences of recent years. Only rock musicians he ignored.

Tracks like "Double Vision" almost make it obvious to you to demand a sequel to "Das Piano".
