"I would rather be ashes than dust!
I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot.
I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet.
The function of man is to live, not to exist.
I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them.
I shall use my time."

I started taking piano and musical theory lessons in 1999 with M° Michela Mantovani. I never really took composing lessons (if you agree with me that musical theory is NOT composing music...) but I started writing my own music in 1998 before I even started to play...of course my skills improved with time :-) My musical background is a blend of classical music and modern movie scores (my favorite music, as you can guess...), I never got deeply into the "metal way to keyboard" because I'm not attracted at all by soloing. Before joining Winter Haze in 2003 I played keyboards in a symphonic black metal band called "Into The Maelstrom" and in a metal band called "Fairy Path". In 2002 I left Into The Maelstrom (which split up few months later) to concentrate on university and music lessons. The Fairy Path virtually faded away in 2005, but maybe we'll come up again with some new songs. I'm available as session keyboard player (metal -beside power-, rock or pop) or composer-arranger (metal -beside power-, electronic, classic, soundtrack music & other orchestral stuff) for studio recordings...just mail me and we'll see if we can work this out. I'm also a Telecomunications Engineer (graduated in Parma in October 2007) and a writer for the underground branch of the metal webzine Heavyworlds (www.heavyworlds.com). I guess there's much more to say, but I hate talking about myself...so check out my profile for more info! You will find me on msn as [email protected]... Have fun :-) PS I'm proud to be a member of the mighty DEPOSCIANS!
