Born in Milan –where I live– in
1961, I studied Composition at Milan Conservatory up to the final
Diploma with Giacomo Manzoni.
Fundamental for my
formation, however, were the contacts with Brian Ferneyhough and Gerard
Grisey who both taught in Milan for some years.
I also studied
conducting in Rome, Milan and Hungary.
At the same time I
completed classical studies and attended Philosophy courses at the
State University of Milan, namely Giovanni Piana’s lessons of
Phenomenology, which opened – among other things – my musical mind. I
finally received the Degree in Philosophy (Aesthetics).
Member of
the Permanent Seminar of Music Philosophy, founded by G. Piana at the
University of Milan, I’m also member of the SIdAM (Italian Society of
Musical Analysis) board.
I wandered several
Italian Conservatories from 1990 to 2002, when I got tenure as a
Professor of Composition and Analysis at Trapani State Conservatory
(Sicily, so far, so wonderful…).
I also collaborate now
and then with the Universities of Milan and Palermo (Literature or
Musicology Dep.) by holding seminars and lessons.
Through articles,
essays and papers, published in specialized journals (De Musica,
Spectrum, Music/Realtà , Quaderni della Civica Scuola di Musica,
Lunarionuovo) and in proceedings of international conferences (SIdAM
1992, 2005), I’ve been dealing with diverse topics: relationships
between music and other arts (literature, painting, architecture) and
theory of ornament; music and rhetoric; analysis and composition;
phenomenology of sound and music; composition pedagogy, aural training.
I’m also concerned with
"explaining music problems" to the general public in courses of Musical
Listening for Milan Municipality (DENTROLAMUSICA).
As a composer I have
been active since 1985 and my music has been performed many times in
Italy, hosted by the most important contemporary music institutions (in
Roma, Venezia, Torino, Perugia, Cagliari, Catania). In Milan I had
performances in the main theatres (such Teatro alla Scala, and Teatro
Studio), and a commission by CRT (Center for Theatrical Research). My
music has been broadcasted several times by RAI (National Italian
Radio-Television). Abroad, I have been hosted by Amsterdam Holland
Festival (’86), Darmstadt Ferienkurse für Neue Musik (’88), Nagasaki
Music Space "il Milione" (’95), Mexico City Centro National de las
Artes (’96) Barcellona Centre de Cultura Contemporania (2004).
BMG-RICORDI (Milano), Edipan
(Roma) and ArsPublica (Pisa) have published some of my works. CDs in
1995 by Ricordi-Fonit Cetra and in 2001 by LIMEN.
