Statement

His research is primarily aimed at free improvisation and participatory music, using both traditional and innovative media. Interested in the social dynamics that sound creates, modifies or stimulates among people, his work ranges between performance and sound design for various media. Currently his practice explores the use of smartphones as a crowd-sourced creative tool. In open participatory performance or closed traditionally notated pieces. While in his performative research more and more space finds the use of the speaker as an autonomous device on which to act actively, directly and physically for the generation and modulation of sound material. A common trait in almost all of his works is the rejection of the technological state of the art in music, toward a (re)use of media of a sustainable kind and as free as possible from elitist and economic constraints.
