About me
Education
Master degree in Telecommunications Engineering at UniBS and BSc. in information technology. Ph.D. in Music information Retrieval with a visiting at IRCAM (Paris) in the Analysis/Synthesis team.Work
I'm currently working as a senior DSP engineer in the field of smart radars.Links
Music
I've a transversal approach to music. I work by combining several elements that I think that they can fit well together and then I cut out the surplus. Those elements can be:- Algorithmic/generative parameter generation
- Field recording
- Sound design/manipulation
- Modular systems
- Direct sample composition/manipulation
- Data sonification
- Non audible natural phenomena (i.e. EMF, ...)
- Expressive use of noise
- Acoustic instruments used in non conventional way

Nerd, NOISE investigator, researcher, DSP algorithm developer, nemophilist.
Always attracted by music and objects that generate peculiar sounds.
Joined my first band around the year 2000 with some friends, with the sole purpose of making music together. Meanwhile, the interest in the technical side of sound production, such as the mechanics of musical instruments and recording techniques has increased.
My formal training in engineering deeply influenced the way I approach and conceive music production. Academic studies and music research finally overlapped leading to the Ph.D. in Music Information Retrieval. This gave me the opportunity to join the Institut de Recherche et Coordination Acoustique/Musique (IRCAM) in Paris, where I worked as a visiting researcher in the Analysis/Synthesis team. This experience has deeply marked my way of perceiving and experiencing the nature of sound and noise.
Currently my research focuses mainly on data-driven synthesis techniques, sonification, generative music, concrete music with real time/delayed time parameter manipulation. Recently I have grown fond of field recording, in particular when applied to ephemeral sound documents that are not easy to perceive by ear.
