Luftbrucke (born Elia Mercanzin, 1973) is a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from Padua, northern Italy.
After a ten-years experience as rock drummer, in 2002 he kicked-off his solo-project, creating and developing a low cost analog-digital creative environment in his own flat’s privacy, spreading his works via free download.
He chose “Luftbrucke” as his stage name in August 2003, drawing inspiration by the atmosphere of rebirth he was surrounded by during his stay in Berlin.
Soon after his debut work, “Scratch the surface”, which can be defined a sort of “break-the-ice” experience, Luftbrucke collected a bunch of musicians and started creating his on-stage live dimension.
The following self-produced album releases, “From November to October” (2004) and “Ego te absolvo” (2006), testify an improvement of his creative approach and producing skills.
In 2007 Luftbrucke abandons classic album approach, producing and releasing single songs, temporarely collected by a constantly-in-progress EP, tentatively named “Forma mentis”.
“Forma mentis” can be seen as a log of current Luftbrucke’s musical journey, tracking the drift towards full italian lyrics and towards an even more multifaceted way of composing, in terms of atmospheres and arrangements.
Style
A dark-post-rock general attitude, a funky rhythmic approach, electropop-electroclash gradients, ambient retrò-vintage acoustic tunes, analog synth sounds and harsh guitars: Luftbrucke’s style cannot be classified so easily…
