MUSIC/THEATRE/CINEMA
I play trumpet and flugelhorn and I studied at the Music Conservatory of St. Cecilia (Rome) from 1999 to 2004.
I played in several bands and I was involved in different projects as a composer, writer and actor. Over the years I met a lot people and I played in many situations.
Torpedo Band. I played with these guys for many years and with them I recorded an LP for Sony Music. Here you can listen same samples, here you can watch a video clip and here you can read the wiki page of the band .
AUG- Alice Under Ground. I wrote the text, compose the music and played the trumpet for a show insipred by "Alice in Wonderland" (L. Carrol) . The show was funded by IMAIE. Here you can watch the trailer of the show.
Quattro Quarti. I wrote the soundtrack and I act in a short film directed by Arianna Rossini (Vivo Film).
