i was born in ancona, a small city in the east cost of italy, grew up loving arts, animals, in particular girls, nature, freedom, rebellions, playing, free thinking; hating commercial stuff, mediocrity, cops, judges, priests, popes, kings, monoteism
since i was a child i thought words don't suffice to explain my feelings, so i tried with arts and i found that music is the most universal; even other animals and vegetables can enjoy it!
so at 16 years i began to play guitars and then bass in punk hc bands.
keeping on with that attitude i wanted to enlarge my horizons and so listened to jazz, classic, traditional musics of the whole world
a few years ago i thought that for me it was better to play acoustic instruments, because i like to play in total freedom; whenever and wherever i want: in green fields, on the beach, even with a blackout, without cables, without being slave to complicated machines, chips, batteries.
so i left aside my electric instruments, and began to study violin.
it's a few years since i started to record music and sounds with a four tracks. now i use a microphone linked to an old p.c. in my small room.
without music i'd probably be in jail, or dead.
'we don't believe in god or jesus christ anymore,
we don't need colleges to validate our lives anymore,
we don't need to buy into a system that offers empty promises anymore,
we don't need protection against anything anybody might say,
we know that government can't improve our lives anyway,
we don't need to drug ourselves anymore to keep the boredom away,
we don't need anything except relying on ourselves for a change,
i can see a new tomorrow,
now'
