Davide Rossi is a violinist, a string arranger, a music producer and a composer. He studied at the Conservatorio ‘G. Verdi’ di Milano, where he received his diploma in his early twenties.
Alongside with his education, he also pursued his passion for pop and rock music since a very early age, developing what is now a unique sound with his unique electric violins.
Some people may have heard him live with Goldfrapp, the British electronic duo, who took Rossi since the beginning of their live career, or performing with The Verve, at the Glastonbury and V festivals in the UK and Summercage festivals in Spain in 2008.
During his early career in Italy, Rossi played with some of the most interesting acts of the Italian underground scene and, together with his classical studies, followed the teachings of guitar legend Robert Fripp and German composer Karlheinz Stockhausen.
Experimenting with classical, rock and pop music, pushed him to play, as well as his acoustic violin, a 7 strings electric violin and a 5 strings electric double bass viola.
With these instruments he can cover the range of a whole string orchestra.

Ciao Davide, su Repubblica di mercoledi 11 novembre c'era una paginata dedicata a te, ti allego qui sotto il link sul web anche se su carta è un'altra cosa! Ha parlato di te anche Alex su radio deejay, sempre lo stesso giorno, lo ritrovi nei podcast sul loro sito. Piacere e complimenti !! Rebecca
Un pò di tempo fà giravo sullo space di Robert Fripp e ad un certo punto mi ritrovai sul tuo space....avevo intuito che dovevi essere un grande e oggi su Repubblica ho letto un'articolo che me ne ha dato la conferma: complimenti ;) Ciao from Bananas....
Due imprese impossibili hanno da sempre eccitato la fantasia di artisti, filosofi, scienziati, la ricerca dell'immortalita' e l'apprendimento del volo libero. La pratica costante dello yoga mi e' stata di grande aiuto nel primo caso, per il secondo sto facendo progressi evidenti, anche se i tentativi di procedere nell'affinamento delle abilita' risultano particolarmente pericolosi, soprattutto ostico e' lo scoglio della prima volta senza il mare di sotto. Risulta altresi' evidente come un eventuale insuccesso nella pratica del secondo possa inficiare anche i progressi ottenuti nella prima.
