It so happened that the best things I've managed to do in my musical life are all duo collaborations: AFROSHOCK was a duo with Davide Giovannini (on drum kit), most of the music of EZZTHETIC was the result of endless hours spent in the company of Leonardo Gementi (electronics), my last release is series of improvisations by me and Isambard Khroustaliov (electronics), and these days I have just started recording my next album with Oren Marshall (tuba)...
