Greetings and thank you for visiting this page. I am a musician living and working in North-Eastern Italy. This page is like my personal website, here I update my projects and so on. Peace and freedom, vivi e lascia vivere.
My work develops into many different experimental achievements, in which improvisation and indeterminate music hold a central role. I look upon contemporary improvisation as an open process compatible with any idiom and musical situation. I work on these subjects in their many variants — languages, instrumentation, methods; into an acoustic, electric, electronic and audio/video surrounding —. I collaborate with musicians, composers, filmmakers, dancers, actors, poets, visual artists.

Il mio lavoro come musicista si rivolge in più direzioni sperimentali, nelle quali l'improvvisazione e l'alea ricoprono un ruolo centrale. Considero l'improvvisazione contemporanea un processo aperto e compatibile con ogni idioma e situazione musicale. Indago questi aspetti nelle loro varianti — linguaggi, strumentazione, modalità; in campo acustico, elettrico, elettronico, audio/video —. Collaboro con musicisti, compositori, registi, danzatori, attori, poeti, artisti visivi.
