stefano scippa

www.myspaceeditor.it I was born in Bergamo in 1968. I live in Bologna where I have my job. Along with my profession as a psycholgist and art-therapist I always fed my love for music. During the University years in Padova I’ve studied the clarinet and saxophone with my former teacher Oreste Sabadin, even if I consider myself mostly a self-taught musician.Then in the 90's I had my early professional experiences into jazz, improvised music and experimental theatre with the Teatrocontinuo of Nin Scolari: working into theatre put me in the position to produce music that was free of stylistic connotations. Also this collaboration led me to view music in a multidisciplinary perspective, or a visual approach, which still endures today.Therefore I got chances to study and play with artists such as Steve Lacy, Markus Stockhausen, Tristan Honsinger and Joe Giardullo. Today while I keep a certain directions firm, I stay open to artists involved in other forms of creative expression.For two years ( 2006 / 2007 ) I ran the artistic management of the independent international festival eauNaturelle. Up to the present day my work lists the production of Rebirth of Divine, an acoustic trio project about gregorian chants, plus the contemporary jazz trio with Gilberto Grillini and Alessandro Dalla. Also I perform solo on occasions in the traditon of some great soprano players.
