My main interests are playing music and meeting new people to play music with, or for. I am also constantly thinking of ways to produce things that will make this world a little better..I like to play with my cat Gattone... I love riding my motorcycle, Italy is the best place to ride sport bikes, with its beautiful hills and great turns!I sometimes build radio-controlled airplanes, I've been skateboarding for maybe 20 years now, on and off... i like drawing, writing, taking pictures and movies.
On the Alternative-Poppish side I constantly listen to or play music by Jeff Buckey, Elliott Smith, Damien Rice, Turin Brakes, Cocteau Twins, Portished, Radiohead, Fiona Apple, Aimee Mann, Coldplay, R.E.M., Aerosmith, Duncan Sheik, Soul Coughing, The Prayer Boat, Tori Amos, The Police, Massive Attack, Bjork, Depeche Mode, Alice In Chains, Massive Reggae Jungle, Bob Marley....On the Jazz-Esperimental-Classical side, I love Ketil Bjornstad, Masada, Astor Piazzolla, David Darling, Meredith Monk, Keith Jarrett, and any ECM artist really!! More on the classical side I go for Tchaicowski, Dvorak, Arvo Part, BACH!!Hard Rock? I still love Pantera, Sepultura, Megadeth, and many others.. I grew up with them...
Anything by Federico Fellini, Terry Gilliam, Kieslovski, and any movie that unites a good story that actually uplifts you when you get out of the theater, or one that opens up your chest and reminds you that you have a heart........
I would throw it away if it wasn't for the Independent Film Channel, the Science, History & Discovery Channel... I just heard on the news that 80% of kids spend an average 6 hours a day in front of the TV... man, the next generation is going to be a f**ked up one!
