Andrea "Pelle" Pellegrini: Musician, producer, arranger, studio & live sound engineer and Protools operator.
As Player, I'm an hammond organ player mainly, but I use to play every kind of keyboard instrument, without prejudice. (Thanks to Maurizio Spampani, great teacher). I've got a deep knowledge (and deep love!) on Vintage Keyboard Instruments, expecially for ElectroMechanical ones (Hammond Organs, Rhodes and Wurlitzer pianos, Clavinets) that I'm even able to repair or make maintenance. I have frequented some important workshops on Hammond Organ made by Pippo Guarnera, Gianni Giudici (he's massive !!!), Joey Defrancesco and the great Tony Monaco (I really love his way to feel the Hammond!). I also involved on Synthesizers, analog/digital/virtual analog. I really love to create or manipulate sounds.
As Sound Engineer I worked with: Trio Bobo (Alessio Menconi + Faso & Christian Meyer from Elio e le Storie Tese), La Drummeria (Christian Meyer, Maxx Furian, Ellade Bandini, Paolo Pellegatti, Walter Calloni), Four Tiles (Cesareo, Roberto Gualdi, Sebo, Guido Block), Scott Henderson Trio (with Kirk Covington), Andrew Hardin, Carl Verheyen, Simone Cristicchi, and many others artists.
I've recorded and produced lots and lots of demos for local artists: Rock, Pop, Acoustic, Country, Electronic, Metal, Hard Rock, Jazz, Choirs and Vocals Solo and so on.....different styles, no way to get bored!
I also work with many audio services all around Tuscany for live situations.
I have to say thanks at least 5 times a day to Luigi Fiorentini, because he's one of the greatest man that I ever known. Thanks, Luigi.
