What do you get when you combine classical trumpet with electronic music? You get Alberto Racanati!  A native of Italy, Alberto came to Kansas City to get his doctorate.  While here, he discovered his love of creating electronic music, and how he could pair it with his classical trumpet playing.  The result was "Alber", which you can find on Spotify and many other places.  Really interesting chat, do it up!
