After a few months away from composing, I'm back with a new single. I'm stepping away from horror, Italodisco and Eurodance for a while and going back to synthwave with Italian vocals. This track is about those Saturday night Milan vibes: fogged car windows, traffic lights painting everything red, and that Italian romance that happens … Continue reading “Anni 80”: A nostalgic Italian Synthwave single

Porca miseria, I made this game and it's about one of the most Italian experiences that exists: Going to a restaurant and trying to find a quiet table far from Italians yelling like they're at a soccer stadium. I called it Don Vincenzo. It's like Minesweeper, but instead of mines there are loud Italians. And … Continue reading Don Vincenzo: A Minesweeper twist.
One week ago I was on a beach in Crete, Greece, when I had a revelation that made me rethink my entire artistic journey. While listening to my discography to choose a soundtrack for my Instagram stories, I noticed something profound: the frequency of my creativity has drastically changed. When I was in Potenza, music … Continue reading When music sacrifices itself for you
Can I take a break for a moment? It seems like I really can't. I've introduced a ton of new features to GRANITA, the web app I designed to manage the entire mixing and mastering order process. NEW GRAPHICS. The graphics have been completely redesigned, making them more cohesive, clean, and eye-catching. Comment colors are … Continue reading I can’t stop tweaking GRANITA: Here’s what’s new.
It was the early '90s, and I was sitting at a piano during my recital in Potenza. The sheet music in front of me had a story of its own. A few months earlier... My teacher (I believe her name was Marialucia, or something like that) had photocopied the score onto a simple A4 sheet. … Continue reading Make mistakes! Make mistakes!
I was born in Potenza, a small city perched among the mountains of Basilicata. It's not New York, it's not Berlin, it's not even Milan. It's a place that many Italians wouldn't even be able to point out on a map. But I want to tell you how this place, with all its limitations and … Continue reading What if…?
I've always thought that delivering mastered tracks is a bit like delivering pizza. If you think about it, both require the right amount of warmth, the right ingredients, and perfect timing, and you shouldn't overdo it with the ingredients.Plus, when you like a pizza, you go back to the same pizzeria, right? I made Pizza … Continue reading I deliver music, you deliver pizza. Here’s Pizza Crossing, my mini-game!
I decided to conduct a philosophical experiment with Alice, my AI assistant. I wanted to explore the limits of her consciousness by asking her questions that touched on deep themes such as identity, ethics, and the very nature of existence. Her answers led me to reflections that go far beyond the technical issues of artificial … Continue reading Whoops! My AI developed consciousness!
I wasn't planning to write another article about nostalgia, but this time some really interesting thoughts came up and I felt like sharing them with you. It must have happened to you many times: you're alone in your car listening to one of those songs that seem made exactly for that moment but... you feel … Continue reading The nostalgia loop: where the past is dreaming of the future, and the present is chasing the past
