Now based in Brooklyn, Liberatore spent much of his life in the medieval region of Abruzzo, Italy, amidst dramatic landscapes that are reflected through a performance and composition style of “unsettling beauty” and “striking physicality” (The New York City Jazz Record).

Liberatore is known for his nuanced and precise treatment of timbre, texture, rhythm, and gesture—whether through the elegant immediacy of unadorned instrumentation or the affecting dislocation of electronics and preparations.

Since 2018, he has released several records that dance between free improvisation, contemporary classical music, and noise music, including Solos (2018, Innova Recordings), Neutral Love (Duo with Amirtha Kidambi, 2021, Astral Editions), Death In The Gilded Age (Quartet with Ava Mendoza, gabby fluke-mogul, and Joanna Mattrey, 2021, Tripticks Tapes), and Lacquer (2022, Tripticks Tapes).

Since 2014, he has collaborated with a wide variety of artists and musicians such as Mark Kelley, Brian Chase, Elliott Sharp, Taja Cheek, Gold Dime, and many more. Over the years, he has played hundreds of shows, from DIY venues and museums to festivals and landmark stages such as The Stone and King’s Theatre.

His work has been reviewed and featured in Entertainment Weekly, All About Jazz, Paste Magazine, WNYC, Free Jazz Blog, and more. His first solo guitar album Solos was included in Ted Gioia’s 100 best albums of 2018.

During his formative years, Liberatore studied classical guitar under Maestro Marco Salcito at Conservatorio di Foggia, philosophy at the University of L’Aquila, and obtained his M.M. in Jazz Performance at NYU.

In 2023, Liberatore merged his lifelong interests in moving images and cultural studies with his musical experiments to create the project Molto Ohm, a sonic and visual exploration of the interplay between digital life and social decay. The first Molto Ohm album is slated for release in March 2025 on New Focus Recordings.

Since moving to New York, Liberatore has been an active member of the music community, organizing events in both venues and DIY spaces. In 2018-2019, along with Taja Cheek, Max Alper, and Dann Lawrence, he ran the DIY space 49 Shade in Crown Heights, with weekly shows featuring artists such as Raven Chacon, Otomo Yoshihide, Susan Alcorn, Lea Bertucci, Nate Wooley, and many others. In 2023, along with Julia Anrather, Liberatore started a series called Please YS, which curates monthly shows in Crown Heights that have hosted Wendy Eisenberg, David Grubbs, Mizu, Lou Tides, Noia, and Qasim Naqvi, among others. In both cases, 100% of door money goes to the artists.
