ENGLISH VERSION
I started playing bass about 10 years ago, when I began almost by chance to play this instruments in order to build up a band with some friends. I also started some times ago to study, with not so brillant results :-), the Chapman Stick. Basses are my great passion every kind, shape (headless are welcome).. I had may of them and keep changing to find MY ultimate bass... and this of course delights my girlfriend (or my parents, when I lived with them). I studied bass with several teachers such asGianluca Alberti, Alberto Viganò, Gigi De Martino, Michelangelo Flàmmia, Roberto Gelli, Dario Bucca...they tried to teach me something, but that's, you know....mission impossible....
I played with several different bands in Milan, recorded the demo "...And a Loneny Tree" with Winter Mist in 1999/2000. I then joined Soul Takers and recorded a demo ("Through the Silence of Words..." in 2002) and two albums: "Tides" (Northwind Records) in 2005 and "Flies in a Jar" (Dragonheart Records)in 2007. By now I'm working with Winter Mist to record our come-back first full lenght CD,whose working title is "What if Sisyphus Stops ?" Stay tuned for info in the near future!
ITALIAN VERSION
Suono il basso elettrico da più di 10 anni, quando un po' per caso iniziai a suonare questo strumento. Da qualche tempo mi dedico, con pochi risultati purtroppo, allo studio del Chapman Stick. I bassi sono la mia grande passione...e ne ho avuti parecchi per la gioia dei miei genitori prima e della mia compagna dopo. Ho studiato con diversi insegnanti tra cui Gianluca Alberti, Alberto Viganò, Gigi De Martino, Michelangelo Flàmmia, Roberto Gelli, Dario Bucca ... loro ci han provato a ficcare qualcosa in questa zucca vuota, non so con quali risultati :-) ...
Per anni ho suonato con diverse band dell' underground milanese facendo numerose date live sia con cover band che band che proponevano musica originale. Ho inciso con i Winter Mist la demo "...And a Loneny Tree" nel 1999. Passato poi nei Soul Takers, ho registrato la demo "Through the Silence of Words..." nel 2002, seguita nel 2005 da "Tides" (Northwind Records) e nel 2007 da "Flies in a Jar" (Dragonheart Records). Ora al lavoro sul nuovo cd dei Winter Mist il cui working title è "What if Sisyphus Stops ?"
