About Me

Optimism and Disillusion. I don't see myself as an artist. I use music, words and graphics to express myself and (WOW) this is what I'm actually doing to live! I was born in Sardinia, grew-up in Milan playing tennis and playing bass guitar in a tech-speed-death-doom-prog-heavymetal band when all of that terms weren't real at all, I've made some housemusic electronica-productions and so many strange things I can't remember of. Now I'm working as a graphic designer-art director-sowhat! in an advertising company in Pescara a small, tiny, city in Italy. I live here with my wife Lorena and Tea, my lovely four-years-old-babygirl. I love to swim underwater, I need wind, I have to run and sit down to meditate I drive a subaru grey outside but blaaack inside and a honda helix black outside as inside. I often wear in black, I'm vegetarian, addicted to yoga, "there was nothing at all, either moving or non moving, there was no light, no sounds, no forms...there was nothing at all. "
