About Me

ITALIANO

Per farla breve, sono nato a Cesena il 10 agosto 1973.
Ho studiato musica al conservatorio B. Maderna di Cesena diplomandomi in oboe.
Nel 1991 ho iniziato a fare serate (chiamiamolo vugaris piano-bar) e fondamentalmente è ciò che faccio ancora oggi.
Negli anni ho preso parte a diversi progetti (ma mai alcuno di rilevante importanza :-( ...la sfiga non è mancata!), ecco perchè nel mio player si possono sentire stili diversi.
Uno di questi progetti furono i COUNTERMOVE, assieme a Cristian Camporesi (aka Chris Shape) e Alberto Frignani.
Vennero pubblicati tra il 1998 e il 2000 3 singoli, dei quali MYSELF FREE riuscì a riscuotere un discreto successo, grazie anche al videoclip in heavy rotation ai tempi tu TMC2,
ma per problemi di gestione all'interno del managment, diciamo, che l'album non uscì mai (se ne volete una copia ve la dò io!!)....
Per un pò ho messo sul player la canzone che faceva da apertura all'album, secondo me un capolavoro scritto da BITTO e CRI: FOR YOU, magari un giorno la rimetto su!! ;-)
Nel corso degli anni poi mi sono innamorato del chill-out, componendo con lo pseudonimo di DIDASCALIS, con l'accento sulla seconda A, e, aiutato da un caro amico ed editore, ANDREA CORELLI della M.O.D.A. Music Fashion di Milano, diversi brani sono riusciti ad uscire dal cassetto e vedere la luce!
WRONG EXPERIENCE son sempre io, quando CANTO i miei brani chilly chilly (come dice Preda :-))
Ultimamente ero anche diventato il cantante e front man di una band, KRISALIDE, che potete visitare al link www.myspace.com/krisalide, fondata e guidata da DAVIDE CAPRELLI (www.myspace.com/davidecaprelli), una band sempre al lavoro.. ssssè....
ULTIMA COSA MA NON MENO IMPORTANTE ho cantato e canto qui e là come turnista per dj, dj produttori, e jingles pubblicitari presso gli studi W.B.A. di Faenza.
Quindi, canto, suono, scrivo/compongo, e arrangio.... fatemi un fischio se avete bisogno!!!
... Pace, tramonti e serendipity ...
Dave
P.S. Le canzoni che sentite nel player NON SONO ASSOLUTAMENTE ciò che suono durante le serate di musica dal vivo...
Questi sono MIEI brani (tutti regolarmente depositati SIAE), che probabilmente, anzi forse SICURAMENTE non mi sentirete MAI suonare dal vivo...!!! :-) Durante le serate di musica dal vivo suono SOLAMENTE pop/rock/80's/90's/00's covers. E questo è tutto!!!

ENGLISH

To cut a long story short, I was born in Cesena August 10, 1973.
Studied music at the music conservatoire B. Maderna of Cesena aquiring the diploma in oboe.
I began to be a piano-man in 1991 and still I am, basically.
Along my life I had the chance to be involved in several projects, that's why you can hear different tunes in the musciplayer.
COUNTERMOVE, with Cristian Camporesi (aka Chris Shape) and Alberto Frignani.
We realesed 3 singles, of wich MYSELF FREE was the most successful, but for management trouble the album never surfaced.
For a while you could find the opening track of it, a masterpiece IMHO of the 2 other guys Chris & Alberto, FOR YOU, maybe one day I'll put it back!! ;-)
Along the years I fell in love with the chill-out music, composing different tunes with the nickname of DIDASCALIS, aided by a great editor and friend ANDREA CORELLI of M.O.D.A. Music Fashion, Milan.
WRONG EXPERIENCE it's always me, diving in the chill-out feelings.
Lately I went to be the lead singer of a band, KRISALIDE, that you can find at www.myspace.com/krisalide, leaded by DAVIDE CAPRELLI, a band always in work in progress.
LAST BUT NOT LEAST I've been singing for sessions for several but not so important project.
So, I sing, I play, I write, I arrange.... blow a whistle if you need me!
... Peace, sunsets and serendipity ...
Dave
P.S. The songs you can listen in the player IT'S NOT what I play during my evening performances as a piano-man...
These are my OWN (all registered) compositions that you probably/surely NEVER hear them LIVE...!!! :-)
During my evening performances I ONLY play and sing pop/rock/80's/90's covers. That's all!
