This piece talks about transformation and it is related to the term “dichotomy”.

Dichotomy is the subdivision of an entity in two parts that can't be excluded completely but that could be complementary.

Even though a dichotomy is composed of two parts, it may leave space for a third part, called the “transversal third”. This piece talks about this third state.
I represent here two main dichotomic dimensions: the cosmos and the nature. These two dimensions gets influenced by each other and the result is the cause - effect of each substance that co-exist with the other one. Even though we have two main ingredients, cosmos and nature, the result of their interaction may lead to a third transversal state, a mystified nature.
The goal of this composition is to describe a complete sound trip, which creates mental pictures and a personal journey through our inner thoughts.
It should not have a precise meaning for the listener, who should experience the freedom of his own interpretation.

I wanted to put in evidence the importance of nature and the beautiful soundscapes it provides us, which unfortunately are not going to last forever as the environment is endangered by mankind.

This work reflects my vision about nature and about the sounds that surround us, quoting the words of the composer Murray Schafer “The world is a huge musical composition that’s going on all the time. We are the composers of this huge and miracolous composition, and we can improve it or we can destroy it, that’s all about to us”.

Most the time we are not aware of these precious sounds that we are able to hear. We should develop more awareness about our soundscapes, and how their existence is in danger because of this non-awareness. We should listen more, open our ears to the most incredible and primordial composition of our history.

Transversal Third

This music was composed for the 48 hour film project 2017 for the short movie "Sole" by Andrea Baroni, in one night of october.

I did a short edit to give the sensation of the core of the music.

Hope it will guide you through some interesting dream.

Exit Music for a Dream

Trip Hop Track that had to be featured in a documentary about boxing, 

I decided to not do a heavy mastering since Soundcloud compress audio at an awful quality, mp3 128kbps...also I like to recognize peaks in the waveforms, not to see just a big sausage.

In this pandemic period I decided to upload this composition inspired to a deep connection with Nature and the Dream dimension. What I miss more in this historical period is the free and wild connection with Nature, and I hope that we will all be able to connect with Nature again, freely.

Track for the #OutsideCompetition for Orchestral Tools.

Composer and Sound Designer from Rome.

In his audiovisual projects he treats every single sound (from field recordings,
concrete sounds, music, etc.) like a unique sound stream in order to create more levels of senses and dialogue between the soundtrack and the image.

He has a great interest in preserving the natural soundscape of the world, by
recording and thus giving importance to each and every sound detail he encounters wherever he goes.

He works mainly as Sound Designer, Composer, Sound Mixer and Re-Recording
Mixer.
