Flavio is a Swiss composer and musician, but above all, he is a music and video game enthusiast. The spectrum of his work ranges from fusion to heavy metal and from electronic to fully orchestrated tracks, with roots anchored in the progressive rock genre.
He started piano lessons at the age of 7 followed by contemporary guitar studies for 4 years, comprising of classical theory, jazz harmony and ensemble lessons. After some experiments with high school bands, he joined the Swiss alternative rock band Plain as guitarist in 2010. His love for progressive rock music brought him together with the drummer Jonathan 'Fox' Foffa to find the progressive metal band Watergate, and in summer of 2015 their first demo EP 'Beginning' was released. Based on his needs, together with guitar-maker Simone Calabrese Flavio designed an innovative 8-string guitar model called Nameless 8, which became a hot seller among Simone’s guitar roster.
Since 2017 his interests shifted more and more towards exploring music composition for media and videogames, resulting in long lasting collaborations with Hellmade Games, Volker Elzner Games, Stelex Software and Edgars Romanovskis. At the same time, he started playing guitar in the Gianluca Ferro solo project. Recently he released a collection called Early Works, with the intent to better illustrate to the public his approach to music composition.
