Enthusiastic, nerdy and perfectionist! If you want to record clarinet/bass cl. or need mixing/mastering services, make sure to book a coffee with me to talk about your project and how to make it express its best potential!
Innovative, out of the box thinker, Luca's vision and belief on the duty of the artist to stimulate human growth lead him to constantly create new projects that involve multi-sensory experiences and that foster Self-awareness and Cultural Competence.
Storytelling sonic textures in 360° embedded into food through AR, is Luca's latest research. His strong classical background joins world music, and folk traditions working in synergy with contemporary production techniques, crafting a completely new aural journey for the listener.
