Born in Genoa in 1978. Lives and works in Bologna. An electro-acoustic composer and multi-instrumentalist. His work has become progressevly concerned with the research of the sculputural dimensions of sound and its relations with space both through instrumental executional practices and investigations into the recording and production process. He is one of the founder members of 3/4HadBeenEliminated, a synthethis between improvisation, eletro-acoustic composition and avant-rock sensibilties. He generally plays live as solo and with 3/4HadBeenEliminated, recently with Massimo Volume and frequently collaborates on the sound-tracking (both live and on CD/video) for the productions of theater, movies, dance and contemporary arts companies (Zimmerfrei, Wu Ming 2, Homemovies, Cosmesi, Balletto Civile ... )
