Notes
He was born in Genoa in 1988, he approached the world of music at the age of 11 playing the piano. In a few
years he became keen on Afro-American music culture and he's started to study piano Jazz. The study of the
“black” music culture also got him to deepen the typical percussive instruments of the Afro-Cuban and
Brazilian tradition. Since the adolescence he has performed in disparate contexts with different ensemble. In
the 2005 he started to interest in electronic music and in the informatics technologies implemented for music.
Since the 2009 he stared to design musical interactive systems for contemporary art installation. In 2012,
after a period of study at the University of Edinburgh as visiting student, he graduated in Electronic Music at
the Conservatory “N. Paganini” of Genoa under the supervision of the doctor Roberto Doati. In 2012 he
started to work as sound designer in the international centre of research Info Mus Lab – Casa Paganini of the
University of Genoa. During the last years he started to approach the musical language of the free
improvisation and began to design digital interactive systems in order to explore the dynamics of the musical
meanings exchanges. As composer he presented his works in different gallery and in many musical events.
His compositions were performed in Italy, Spain, Portugal, UK and Germany.
