About Me

I'm Daniele Defranchis, aka Ippe. I'm not satisfied if i don't do absolutely different things..... I was born as a rock metal fan and soon came into thrash metal. Practiced electric guitar as a self taught and classical with private lessons by Giorgio Oltremari since i was 12. I formed a band called Random, that went through metal, thrash, then 70's rock and played with them from 1990 (yeah i was 12!!!!!!!!!!) to 2000 into festivals and sweaty pubs in Milan. in 1997 i was admitted to Classial guit course into Scuola Civica di Musica in Milan (now Accademia Internazionale della Musica) and studied with Oltremari and then with Agostina Mari. 2000-2003 i was live-studio sessionist w/thrash band Trauma, now Alterhate (cd "grip of frost"). Again cool sweaty pubs, metal fests, concert halls (Rolling Stones, Milan). 3rd prize in international class guit contest. 2004 DEGREE in ECONOMICS......yeah, i'm mad as i'm trying to do the musician!

about my songs

I posted three songs so you can hear me play classical, electric and compose. Some of these are not included in any album. I thought it was nice to put some excerpts from my repertoire and not full so...
