I
was born on September 1965 in San Isidro, the outskirts of Buenos
Aires.
My father was Italian from the Mediterranean Sea, and my mother
an Argentinean 'mate' drinker.
My interest in music became clear since I was very little: there
was a "Pleyel" piano at home and
I used to spend hours playing it. Since I was seven till eleven,
I had different piano professors.
My first keyboard was a "Siel"; though it was a rudimentary
model.
When I got to my 20´s, I decided to improve the technique
on the piano and the pentagram reading.
I met Patricio Migliazzo, who became my teacher for about three
years and was already an audacious experimental composer; he
prepared me for the final exam to get my degree as a Music Superior
Professor in the Galvani Conservatory on December the 18th 1988
at San Telmo’s neighbourhood (Buenos Aires)
I
also took guitar classes with Mario Nielsen. He taught me what
I wanted to know: the basic aspects of instruments.
By
that time, I used to listen to the old music, Wendy Carlos and
his Bach and discs of Vangelis, Mike Oldfield, Peter Gabriel,
Brian Eno, symphonic rock and things of the sort. It was then
that I felt attracted to the programming of synthesizers and
samplers and I decided to create my own studio at home.
At
the beginning of the 90´s, I studied programming sampler
and synthesizer, MIDI and some
audio aspects with Jorge Haro.
Later
on, I took a course on music composition applied to theatre,
cinema, ballet and audio visual media in Arte11 Institute.
In
1991, I composed my first album Sons of the Light,
this album was later edited by EPSA Music and then distributed
in Argentina and some other South American countries.
In
August of the same year, Sons of the Light was presented at
the 'XXI Snow National Festival',
a concert at the base of Cerro Catedral in Bariloche where
I shared stage with Lito Vitale Quinteto, as in other occasions.
As time went by, I searched for new sounds and experimented
every electronic bug that could have been plugged. I composed
The New Kingdom in 1995.
Three
years later, I created ad21music, exclusively designed
for the edition and on-line order of
my solo and collaborative projects. I then released Solemnis,
a new work, and simultaneously
my two previous productions.
In June 2000, my fourth album Suite Patagonia was edited;
it was a tribute to the Argentine Patagonia in which I used
indigenous instruments, aboriginal chants and sounds from
the southern fauna.
I think I’ve always been exposed to a great variety of
musical influences,
especially since I moved to Barcelona in the year 2000, when
I started a close artistic collaboration with Max Corbacho,
a Spanish musician.
Max joined the initiative ad21music on 2003.
Neuronium Records released Visualia on October 18th,
2003.
It is an intimate piece of work in which every composition
matches one of the images of the N.American artist Janet Parke’s.
In July 2004, ad21music released Indalo, the first
collaboration work with Max Corbacho.
In September 2004, ad21music released ad libitum.
Max and I are working together in a series of concerts scheduled
for 2005, the first of them on February 18th opening the II
Insolit Music Forum of Barcelona, Spain.
In
July 2005 Neuronium Records released Anthology Essence
91 04. Compiles the finest
recordings made from 1991 through 2004.
During the last years, I compose music commended for different
kind of films for cinema.
In
July 2006 ad21music released InTRO, with a collaboration
of Alio Die on one track.
All releases now available on iTunes
Music Store and emusic.
In May 2007
ad21music released Piano Textures, my most
recent solo work.
In
March 2008 ad21music released Ambessence piano & drones
with German ambient musician Mathias Grassow.
