Gianfranco Pescetti's Electronic Instrumental Single “Clownspunk” Juxtaposes Happy and Sad

MAUI, HI (February 20, 2023) - Gianfranco Pescetti just released his electronic ambient house single “Clownspunk.” This is the second single release from his upcoming album this Fall.

Pescetti masterfully created a piece that is simultaneously danceable and cinematic. Inspired by the juxtaposing happy and sad feelings of a clown, Clownspunk has a psychedelic feel and a gradual build that makes it very intriguing. Pescetti says that “I feel that clowns and the circus have an energy that's both light and dark at once.” As part of his collection of new music, Gianfranco Pescetti has been leaning towards instrumental atmospheric electronica with a dance vibe and interspersed elements of modern indie rock.

Gianfranco Pescetti is a bass player, composer, and producer living on the island of Maui. Born on the Tuscan Island of Capraia, he studied ballet and music and danced professionally at a young age. In his twenties, he decided to put dancing aside, and turned his full attention to writing music. He moved to San Francisco in 1988 to a vibrant music scene and played bass guitar in several bands. Most notably in Alfred which he formed with cellist Zoe Keating and singer/guitar player Jane Woodman. After playing with his last band, 14 Mission, he recorded his first album Love is Rain in 2014. After a hiatus from music during which he went back to college to get a degree in Landscape Architecture, he returned in 2023 with the new single “Sundog” and a new album scheduled to release this Fall.
