I am a composer and sound artist with a strong interest both in Computer and Electroacoustic Music. My main interest is to explore the creative use of technologies in Art. I create computer programs able to generate sounds and music. I am very interested in algorithmic composition and sound synthesis and in the generative use of mathematical models to support and explore my creative processes.
