Hello everyone!
I am a pharmaceutical chemist, Sicilian (with great pride) but I have been living in Rome for over 20 years now.
Music (and literature) are my greatest passions.
As a child I studied piano, then falling in love with David Gilmour, John Cipollina, Joarma Kaukonen and Martin Barre, I started studying guitar.
I started with my dad’s Beatles and Jimi Hendrix, and meanwhile I threw myself headlong into the world of metal (late 80s/early 90s... a period more than exciting to be a metalhead!), but between an album by Testament and one by Iron Maiden, between one by Sacred Reich and one by Anthrax.... albums that changed my life forever began to emerge: In the Court of the Crimson King, The Dark Side of the Moon, Red, The Wall..... but also After Bathing at Baxter's, Aoxomoxoa, Happy Trail, Benefit, Aqualung, Woodstock, Monterey Pop Festival 1967, Unknown Pleasures, Badmotorfinger, The Real Thing, Blues from Laurel Canion, Faith, Abraxas, Nighthawks at the Diner, Franks' Wild Years ....
...thus began a wonderful journey that never ends, always in search of new things that excite me, without genre boundaries, limits, or fences.
My favorite bands/artists?
King Crimson, Pink Floyd, Nucleus, Soft Machine, Beck, Tortoise, Tom Waits, Can, Neu, David Sylvian, The Cure, Franco Battiato, Frank Zappa, Charles Mingus, Duke Ellington, John Scofield, Sonic Youth, Jethro Tull, Brian Eno, John Martyn, John Fahey......
