Lachini's widely accessible music blurs the strict lines of any one genre. There is no need to defined or categorized his music because it is simply, Beautiful.Lachini's solo piano music possesses a tenderness that resonates with music lovers despite any cultural differences. The unifying force of music is clearly at work in Lachini's entire catalog. Lachini believes in the emotional power of simplicity.
