I was born on 16th November 1977, in Trieste (Italy).
I started being interested in music very early, teasing some toy keyboards and trying
to read musical scores.
I grabbed my first guitar in hand at 11, a very old and unplayable wreck. Some years
later my parents bought me the first decent instruments, a classical guitar first,
and an electric one later.
My first band was called Fire Dreams and used to play some Iron Maiden covers and
some original tune. In the meanwhile I was discovering extreme metal music and started
developing some technical aspects.
In 1993 I joined Subtraction, that, during the years, changed their name to Obscenity
first, and to Karnak then.
With them, with different line-ups, I made five studio albums and reached a pretty
good success in the underground metal scene, thanks to the "Melodies Of Sperm Composed"
album. In 2010 times were mature to depart from this great band and pursue other
directions. Their fourth album, entitled "Laboratorium" has been removed from official
Karnak discography and deviated to a parallel project, on the way to be professionally
reissued, in some time.
In 1999 I started the Goldenseed project in which I put in everything not possible
with a human band, experimenting with forcefully exaggerated arrangements, speed
and complexity. Two albums are done so far.
In 2006 I spent a period with Revoltons,
a great heavy metal band from Friuli, playing guitar and keyboards at once, but
we cannot continue together due to logistic problems.
In 2006 I joined Azure Agony,
a band playing instrumental prog metal, where I'm currently playing. Our first album,
Beyond Belief, has been published by the Italian label SG Records in 2010 and is
getting good reviews all around.
In 2008 I got in contact with Heiko Hoepfinger, owner of
BassLab and created my signature model guitar, based on a lot of
needs and ideas accumulated over the years, but never found in any commercial instrument.
