Impro #1

I'm a vocalist and improviser based in Turin, Italy. I'm mainly active in the fields of contemporary jazz, improvised and experimental music, focusing on the exploration of the human voice, and on free improvisation, as a soloist or in ensembles. 
I started my careeer as a contemporary jazz singer, studying with musicians and teachers such as Maria Pia De Vito, Diana Torto, Susanne Abbuehl, Norma Winstone, John Taylor, Stefano Battaglia.
Some years later I approached the world of experimentation and free improvisation. I was a founding member of the improvisation collective Green Brötz Turin. That experience, and a long stay in Berlin, led me to play with some of the most representatives artists among the Italian and international experimental scene, like Gino Robair, Martin Mayes, Achille Succi, Paolo Sanna, Eyvind Kang, Jessika Kenney, Patrizia Oliva, Stefano Giust, Tristan Honsinger, Francesco Cusa, Lisa Mezzacappa, Luca Pissavini, Gianni Lenoci, Emilio Gordoa, Gianni Mimmo, Walter Prati, Benedict Taylor, Viv Corringham, Angelo Contini, Nicola Guazzaloca, Tomomi Adachi, London Improvisers Orchestra, Pasquale Mirra, Stefano Risso, Matt Mottel, Utku Tavil, Fabrizio Bozzi Fenu, Jim Black, Ernst Reijseger and many others.
My research is currently based on creating new sounds, exploring the possibilities of the voice in an unconventional way, with the use of "extended techniques" and electronic effects. Part of my activity is focused on sound poetry and improvised performances using texts and graphics scores.

You can get 12" vinyl of all my albums on bandcamp.
