I made music for some dvd for a graphic design studio (http://www.thefakefactory.com/),some other music was produced for theatre exhibition.
the remain of my musical productions is self-produced.
8. Do you work individually as a musician/soundartist or in a group
or collaborative?
If you have experience in both, what is the difference, what do you
prefer?
No, I worked together with a videomaker (Virgilio Villoresi) with whom I also create some music.
He also played with me as videomaker during live_sets.
I think the main difference is in the relationship with the play,there’s a more rational approach with it,,
’cause alone it’s a more intime way of making music.
I don’t have a precise preference,it depends on the situation.

lasting influence on making music?
the group I got more influenced is Autechre,and recently also the minimal electronic scene (like Alva Noto, Murcof, Ikeda)

musician?
I wish to continue making music as I’m doing specially for my pleasure and to play in many festivals.
