I'm really happy to share with you my mixtape I did for A Strangely Isolated Place - one of my favorite, or maybe my favorite blog about ambient music ever. 

The mixtape is a collection of new discoveries mixed together with artists who changed my life in past and are changing it right now, so definitely one of the most heartfelt mixtapes I ever made (even if it's just the third). 

Thanks a lot to Ryan for his kind words, and hope you enjoy the tracks!

Chasing Dreams - Infinite (feat. Stray Theories)

Another year is going to end, I'm very happy my music project is still going very strong!

Tomorrow I will be leaving for my holidays, I didn't have much time to compose music lately, but tonight I had a few hours and I was feeling really inspired, so I decided to compose a new track as a gift for you all! I made the track in 2 hours, it's a bit more fast, energetic and positive than my latest works, I really hope you will like it!

The track is free to download, as a strong thank you, for your constant support, commenting my music, interacting with me, sharing it, it all means a lot to me!

I wish you Happy Holidays and an awesome New Year!

My new album "Everything Feels Infinite" is now available here: bit.ly/1ItQQT5

With 18 tracks, this project is the reflection of "Now I Found Myself", my first album ever, released back in 2010.

I produced this album during 2014, my only goal during the year, has been to complete every single idea I started writing.

Without thinking too much about the potential of every song, I managed to keep going and experience something completely new as a composer.

The album also includes "blind" collaborations with great artists and friends: each collaboration has been composed starting from short/small ideas sent to me by the artists, writing full tracks on top of these.

I'd say it's been a great adventure into music production.

Thanks to all the people who helped me during the past year completing a big project like this, and to everyone who'll buy a copy and support my passion.

"Balance" is a 2-track single from my side project "Katahimikan". 

"Shimmer" and "Gloom" are, from the starting point, both the same track. 

The difference is in the processing and resampling, which I executed in completely different ways: starting with an audio file sampled from some of my old music, I created the first track, "Shimmer", which then I resampled to create the second, "Gloom".

Katahimikan - Gloom

Minimal basslines, plucked sequences, reverbered arpeggios and glitched drums: that’s what "Need a Name" soul was made of, and still is. 

Completely based on electronic sound design and affected by all the details which marked its very own fingerprint, the journey with Need a Name starts again as another side project. 

This first release is a 4-track EP which is deeply inspired by the very first Need a Name albums, such as "Sizzling Plucks" and "What You Were, What I’ve Become”, to bring back what really made it special.

Need a Name - Cosmos

This project started sampling an album I composed as Chasing Dreams, which I never released for many reasons.

Its concept is about embracing humanity.
From the beginning of our journey to the end of our days, from the first memories to none of them. 
Everything has a beginning and of course, an ending.

At the end, we all have to Embrace our nature as we know it.

SineRider - Moments Alone (Need a Name Remix)

With 9 tracks, Matter is one of the most challenging projects I ever worked on: much of the time I spent working on the album, I've been listening and relistening to every track, shaping and tweaking every little detail and sound until I could feel the right vibe, the one which always represented Need a Name for me as the beginning of my musical journey, but mixed up with many technical aspects I managed to learn during the past years, also thanks to my work on Chasing Dreams, which allowed me to improve my artistic self-expression.

Matter's melodies are pretty minimalistic, for the most part reminiscent of "Sizzling Plucks", the album that really defined Need a Name and its spacey and dreamy vibes, but with a maniacal cure for all the minimal details.

It consists in making a track in 24 hours, but I had not enough time to use them all, so I needed to be fast.

Ascesa - the new album from Chasing Dreams.

-------------

Ascesa is chaos and order.

Written before, while and after embracing an emotionally dark place, it's part of one's journey to self-awareness. There's love, anger, rumination, meditation, and realization. It's a lingering, gentle, pensive rise presented as a melodious milkshake of stories, experiences, and feelings.

I hope you'll just enjoy it somehow. Maybe it will make you feel better about your day, maybe it will make you embrace or escape your darkness. Maybe something else. I guess it depends on who and where you are.
