About Me

"A volte nella semplicità si nasconde la bellezza che la complessità mai potrà raggiungere."
(I.P.) "Sometimes semplicity hides the beauty that complexity can never reach." (I.P.)

Welcome to all! My name is Ilario, I'm 18 years old. I'm a drummer, and I live in Campobasso, Italy. I love music. I'm a composer, I like to experiment with every instrument to write new songs, specially with strange structures and new sounds.
I'm grew with every type of music. I've listened The Doors (first band of my life) when I was 1 year old, thanks to my brother. I've listened a lot of alternative rock, hard rock, funky, and electronic bands, till I was 10 years old. Always thanks to my brother.
I've started to play in a band in 2002, with the Spitfires. We played covers of 70's Hard Rock bands (Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple ecc.). In 2003 I've listened Dream Theater for the first time. By that moment, my life's changed. In 2006, till the July of 2007, I've played in a Progressive Rock band, called Train Of Desires. Now I'm without a band, but with a lot of new ideas for new projects and new songs.
Now I'm studying percussions at the Conservatorio di Musica "L. Perosi", in Campobasso, with Giulio Costanzo. My dream is to become a great and famous drummer and composer.
I've opened this myspace page to give you the possibility to hear my abilities, my musical ideas, and to know a lot of new musicians.
Thanks to visit me, and have a nice stay!
