Giuliano Poles graduates in Piano from the "Jacopo Tomadini" Conservatory in Udine, where he studies under M° Ugo Cividino and, later, M° Antonio Nimis. These are the years in which his training extends beyond the walls of the Conservatory, enriched by his work with internationally renowned masters such as Daniel Rivera, Lukáš Michel, and Luigi Di Ilio, alongside whom he delves in particular into the Impressionist repertoire, guided by a language built on colour and nuance rather than rule. It is a period of rapid, recognised growth, marked by his participation in several national and international competitions, which earn him early, significant acclaim and confirm a sensibility already unmistakably his own.
His concert career gains momentum from these early years, leading him to some of the stages that mark important milestones in his path. He performs in symphonic concerts at the "Teatro Verdi" in Pordenone and Padua, in the "Concerto Grosso" with the S. Marco Orchestra and Choir, and at the gala evening of the "International Architecture Competition" in Turin in 2008. Alongside saxophonist Enrica Birsa, he performs at the 16th edition of the prestigious World Saxophone Congress in St. Andrews, Scotland. His connection with live audiences deepens through his participation in the celebrated "Piano City" festival, in the Trieste, Pordenone, and Milan editions, the city where he presents his first solo piano album, "Beyond the Thoughts". He is also a guest on the television programme "I Fatti Vostri" on Rai2, accompanying violinist Nicola Di Benedetto.
In 2017 he releases "Secrets", an album that brings together piano, orchestra, and cinematic sound design, earning widespread acclaim online and marking the beginning of a long series of collaborations and projects. The following year, drawn to the evocative power of multimedia art, he works with Lino Franco on the creation of the eponymous theatrical production combining music, dance, and video, exploring emotion through sound and image.
In 2018, he collaborates with Israeli tenor Assaf Kacholi, arranging and producing tracks for the album "Amore" and for numerous singles. Among these, his arrangement of "Bella Ciao" stands out, performed live in concert with the Babelsberg Film Orchestra conducted by Robert Reimer and broadcast on German television by RBB.
In the years leading up to this, Giuliano extends his reach beyond the stage, weaving relationships with international players in the industry: boutique music production houses, licensing companies, and agencies operating within the most demanding circuits of the market, from BPM Sound & Music in Dubai to Opera Music in Milan, from Silent Studios Productions in London to Audiio in Nashville, to SoundBetter in Los Angeles. It is work built on mutual listening and trust earned over time, allowing him to weave a solid network of contacts and collaborations, the ground on which, in 2020, he decides to found the artistic collective "Futura Modulans", dedicated to the promotion and production of musical projects by independent Italian artists.
During the Covid-19 lockdown, that suspended time becomes for Giuliano a threshold to cross: his compositional approach sheds its skin, opening up to new sonorities and unconventional techniques, as if the enforced silence of those months had carved out a new space to be filled with sound. This prolific period culminates, in 2021, in the album "Subtle Nuances", marking a stylistic shift toward more introspective, reflective ambient and neoclassical sonorities, almost a diary written at the tips of the keys.
In 2022 he releases "Nyx", a nocturnal journey through silence, shadows, and mythology. An album inspired by the night, told through the wordless voice of the piano and touched by the symbolic presence of Greek divinities: from dusk to dawn, each piece captures a fragment of that quiet universe where thoughts become sharper and emotions sink deeper. Except for the opening and closing tracks, two distant moments both tied to light, the album is entirely written for solo piano, with delicate restraint, as if each note were breathing in rhythm with the night. The project receives wide acclaim, being featured on several official Spotify editorial playlists.
The following year his gaze extends beyond the earthly horizon with "Music from Another Universe", an interstellar journey within and beyond the limits of perception. Inspired by recent space discoveries and the dizzying vastness of the cosmos, the album explores worlds we cannot understand, but can imagine, through electronic textures, dark ambient atmospheres, cinematic harmony, and detailed sound design: each track evokes the feeling of drifting through a universe that is not ours, yet calls to us with silent, magnetic beauty. The entire album is built on a simple yet disarming thought: our senses were made for Earth, not for space. We see only what we're meant to see. We hear only what we're able to grasp. Everything else is somewhere else. Everything else is music from another universe. The album is entirely produced using analogue synthesisers, magnetic tape, and vintage saturators, mirroring that unbridgeable distance between what can be perceived and what remains invisible.
In 2024 he releases "Libellum", eight short preludes, eight childhood memories still whispering. A collection of delicate piano miniatures, each one like a page from an invisible notebook, preserving scents, images, chills, and gentle smiles: fragments of a distant time still alive in the heart, turned into music without the need for words. Each note is a gesture, a touch that crosses time to bring back the sweet nostalgia of what made us who we are. "Libellum" is not just an album. It's a return home.
That same year, he previews with an innovative concert "Eclipsing Identity", a journey with no return, toward rebirth in a new form. An experimental, cinematic album and, at the same time, a deeply symbolic narrative, telling the story of a final departure toward a new planet, toward a new version of oneself. The ten tracks are chapters of an inner odyssey: a farewell to the past, a shedding of identity, an inevitable transformation. Doubt, absence, longing, death, and rebirth all collide in a world where no clear lines divide what's right from what's wrong. "Eclipsing Identity" is the shadow cast over what we were, making room for what we might become. It's the courage to lose yourself in order to find yourself again.
In 2026 he releases "Apatheia", an introspective, cinematic album born from overload, uncertainty, and the constant transition of a time in which everything seems to slip away too fast, in which technologies become obsolete overnight and the future keeps shifting shape. The nine tracks unfold as fragments of an inner drift: a mind caught between noise and silence, between dystopian visions and fragile hopes. "Apatheia" is the sensation of emotional stillness, of feeling suspended, almost numb, not only toward what is frightening, but paradoxically even toward what is beautiful. Through dark harmonies, minimal melodies, and an immersive use of delay and long reverbs, the music recreates a dreamlike space where reality blurs and time begins to dissolve.
