In Italy he completed his studies in electronic music as a student of the Giuseppe Tartini Conservatory of Trieste. In this period he started to focus on improvisation as a mean of achieving introspection, through the sonic irrational and unpredictable communication forms. In 2017 he participated at Forma - Free Music Impulse  come into contact with the INA GRM and with artists like Ryoji Ikeda, Kassel Jaeger, Emptyset and Aleksandar Koruga. In 2018 he became a member of Ubulembu electronic ensemble, born from Giovanni Maier’s experimental research on Conduction conduction and improvisation. This experience increased his attentiveness to multimedia and multimodal investigation, as he started to work with the communicative possibilities between music, image, sound and other expressive forms. In 2019 he studied Persian music, language and culture at the Dehkhoda Institute of Teheran. He’s major focus here is the concept of improvisation in the context of Persian music. He traveled to many cities of Iran, capturing field recordings of rural areas’ soundscapes and of big metropolitan centers, seeking to conciliate them with electroacoustic sonorities. Over the past 8 years, he has collaborated in more than 30 music projects, sound installations and performances. Currently, under an Erasmus+ scholarship, he collaborates the organization of In-Sonora, an International art exhibition taking place in Madrid.
