He started as a modern rock musician with band Viclarsen (CDs "Abitazione" - ViceVersa Rec and "Trasporto" - PmA Records www.viclarsen.com.) then he worked on improvised music after meeting Tetsu Saitoh and Michel Doneda. In August 2002 he composed music for the experimental theater show based on Le Città invisibili by Italo Calvino directed by London-based director Robert Gordon under the auspices of Goldsmiths College, London and Genova University.

He played in "1999 The Poem of the Millennium" written by sound-poet Enzo Minarelli and with musical direction of pianist Claudio Parodi. In May and August/September 2003 his sound sculptures were exposed at the A:D:A:P:T festival held at the Museum of Contemporary Art of Denver, Colorado in two different editions ("music and media for ruins" and "re-build") and selected for The First Chiangmai New Media Art Festival (Thailand). In the meantime, he realized original soundtrack for "Astatoth" by Stefano Benni, a theater show developed by Goldsmiths College/London University and Laboratorio Itinera. In July 2003 he composed soundtrack for "Il nemico interno" directed by Marco Ghelardi and futurist piece "I più vasti orizzonti" by Giovanni Acquaviva, a theater show led by Antigone. Then he realized sounds for "Una sera di Luna calante" a performance by artist Sandro Lorenzini included in the program of the 2nd Biennal of Ceramics in Contemporary Art in Albissola Marina (Italy). With Patrizia Oliva he founded Rosas y Tulipanes, an experimental impro duo. Among the others, he played with Francesco Calandrino, Elena Skoko, visual artists Jorge Hernadez Lince, Stefano Migliosi and Giorgio Rinolfi, Urkuma, Claudio Parodi, Enzo Minarelli, Patrizia Oliva, Giustino Di Gregorio, band Ovo, Ileana Rossello, Tommaso Rolando of Calomito, James Manly, Gnanam Samuel, Gareth Wilkins, Michael Caratti, Dan Mays.



"Io non dico: fra poco o molto tempo avremo una società che sarà perfettamente nonviolenta. a me importa fondamentalmente l'impiego di questa mia modestissima vita, di queste ore o di questi pochi giorni; e mettere sulla bilancia intima della storia il peso della mia persuasione"



(da: Aldo Capitini - Elementi di un'esperienza religiosa - 1937)



"Col vegetarianesimo si decide di rinunciare al cibo che comporti uccisione di animali; e con cio' stesso muta il nostro modo di avvicinarci ad essi, il nostro modo di considerarli [.]. Questa "sospensione" introdotta nella leggerezza sterminatrice e nella freddezza utilitaria si riflette in accrescimento di valore interiore. Io [.] mi decisi al vegetarianesimo nel 1932, quando, nell'opposizione al fascismo, mi convinsi che l'esitazione ad uccidere animali avrebbe fatto risaltare ancora meglio l'importanza del rispetto dell'esistenza umana. "



(da: Aldo Capitini - Il problema religioso attuale - 1948)
