"Aut prodesse volunt aut delectare poetae", says Horatius: poets either want to be useful or delight. Why not try to do both?
Born hungarian, grown up in Switzerland, spent time in Italy - check his artist name. Early classical piano studies, fell in love with jazz, started playing the drums, bought a synthesizer, got into sequencing music, played in a few groups, started building a studio. Did a couple of records with Sendak, one of the early Swiss rap groups. Then did some soul music with Ashoka. Got into Electronic Music, bought a sampler, a digital mixer, started to work with digital audio. Somehow these things are coming together in these days. Moving back and forth from Grand Piano to the Loop machine, Tomasi sticks with the music and the moment.
