“She Never Got Home” out now
A dark, andante night drive with room for the fog to come in. "She Never Got Home" is out now on all platforms — the horrorsynth track born from a real encounter on the Picerno Bridge.
The return ticket
We grew up between two journeys: escapism, the need to run away with no destination, and nostalgia, the pull back home. For 80s kids, these were a way of living.
I made a track in 3 days and another one in 3 years. Which one is worth more?
Twenty tracks a year. Then silence. I've been thinking about what that means, and whether the music I made fast was worth more or less than the music I made slowly. There's no easy answer. But there is an honest one.
There’s a retro game in my Lounge now (another one).
Last night, instead of finishing a track, I built a retro game about zombies and pasta.Zombies... and pasta... Does it tell you anything? Well, if you know "They Speak Italian" and "They Speak Italian 2" (the EPs, the horror story about Italy running out of carbs), you can now actually play through it. Four levels, … Continue reading There’s a retro game in my Lounge now (another one).
The Frozen Lasagna syndrome.
Last night I was working on an Italo disco track. The usual stuff, my comfort zone, you know how it is. Honestly, a bit of a frozen lasagna situation, you know the result before you even start.

This week I closed the "Album Stories" podcast with Europarty. It was the final stop, starting with outrun, traveling through synthwave and ending it with the unforgettable beat of the 90s, that era of freedom, shiny tracksuits, and pure energy. It was the sound that reminded us how to just dance and forget the rest. … Continue reading 22 albums. 22 stories. What’s behind my synthwave music?
“Unfinished”, my new single is out on digital.
For a long time I felt satisfied, complete, and I didn't have much to say in music. I went back to listen to my early albums. I immersed myself in those days again, I went back to relive those feelings when everything was uncertain, I still didn't know much about myself and what I would … Continue reading “Unfinished”, my new single is out on digital.

“Anni 80”: A nostalgic Italian Synthwave single
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
