I'm a Multi-Instrumentalist, session vocalist, guitar and piano player. I write and produce mainly electronic, rock-oriented music and dreamscapes. I have a BScEng in engineering and a degree in classical piano and harmony. Love astrophysics and sports: they both weak you until you feel grand.
My main services are:
- Soundtracks;
- Arrangements;
- Voiceovers in English and Italian.
Please visit my website, there are a lot of links to watch and hear. My earthly inspiration in music comes, in no particular order, from: Pink Floyd, Radiohead, U2, Brian Eno, Muse, Depeche Mode, Coldplay, Pantera, Metallica, Stevie Wonder, Iron Maiden, Franz Schubert, Felix Mendelssohn, Steve Vai, George Gershwin, Glenn Hughes, George Benson, Kool & The Gang, Jeff Buckley. Yes, it's a mess but that's it, and I love it this way.
