I'm drummer with the passion of percussion instruments from every part of the world. I play drums since 1995, i studied drums with Rodolfo Tulli, Fulvio Fuina, Ellade Bandini; darbuka with Enzo Laurenti; rithmic sensitivity with Massimo Carrano. I played in a jazz trio and for some years in a tango quartet called "amaro tango ensemble", our sound wasn't traditional becouse we used to mix the tango with jazz and world music. I play also the didjeridoo since 2000, and i had the possibility to play with the australian didjeridoo player GANGA GIRI during a festival "Teramo città aperta al mondo". I played the didjeridoo in different situations: solo, with percussions, two didjeridoos, with cristal singing bowls or others meditation instruments, as music for the theater, with dancer, with mimes. As a percussionist i usually play during theater performance, with mime and during reading poems. In this occasions i play different instruments such as udu (handmade by myself), small percussion effects (whistle,rattles,bells...), african mbira, water drums (made of gourd), balafon, didjeridoos (i have one tunable, pvc handmade by myself) and tibetan singing bowls (i have a set of 14 that continuosly grows up), tabla and i also play daily-use objects and parts of them. In my "collection" of percussions there are also caxixi, berimbau (handmade by myself), darbuka, tama and talking drum called dondo and some frame drums as tamborim, pandeiro, bodhran, tammorra. I had the possibility to play the water gourd drums with the kora player from senegal MADIA DJABATE. Actually i play with cristal bowls and tampura player with who i use the singing bowls, gongs, tabla, shruti box, didjeridoo. The aim is to relax the audience and allow the people to hear acustic sounds that usually they can hear just from a sint. Above all our music has benefit effects on the human health: for the mind and for the body. It is possible to propose this project during a yoga lessons or meditation or as music for the theater or before as ambient music, it is well as ambient music during exibitions interacting or not with the artists. I'd like to play with this project in a disco to relax the people after the loud and fast music before they go out from the disco and take the car. I continue to play drums and i'm looking for the line-up of world music group connected with jazz. www.myspaceeditor.it
