Compositions
I base my research mainly on compound timbres, whose "resonances and nuances" (more and more feeble) should help to create a sort of "internal-inner" space dimension of sound. Sounds are mostly of instrumental and vocal origin, obtained by non conventional techniques. It is a research around what lives in sound before its "achievement", its final determination, or anyhow addressed to what stays on the edge of the steady emission. This is one of the needs that drove me to make extreme some musical parameters, first of all dynamics. In this sphere of research technology and electronics often prove to be a fundamental support.
