A new short composition for the 8 string classical guitar alone. The guitar has been built for me by Marco Lorenzon. For the curious, it’s tuned low to high: EADGCFAD
For the curious, here is the transcription of the tune: TRANSCRIPTION (pdf format).

These two videos were shot during the same day to test some new plugin settings on Logic Pro X. I discovered that actually the Chapman Stick does not need so much processing for a good sound. In these videos, there is just a slight reverb and an EQ cutting out some bass frequencies around 100 Hz.
Which one do you prefer?

Thanks to my friend Carlo Venuti, here is an extract of an old live performance of the band Karnak, in which I used to play the guitar many years ago. The concert was held back in 1998 in Gorizia, Italy few month before entering the studio for recording the album entitled “Melodies Of Sperm Composed” that gave somehow a little bit of notoriety to the band. You can hear some embryonal versions of the songs “Angel Hooked“, “Melodies Of Sperm Composed” and “Pollen Of My Penis“. I’m obviously the strange thin thing on the right. Please don’t blame me for the enormous flurry of errors, I was very young and still playing a terrible six strings guitar :)

Here is my entry for the Kiesel Solo Contest 2019. You can win a Kiesel guitar if you reach the first two places. The contest is open worldwide, so good luck everybody!
For this entry, I tried something different harmonically speaking, by superimposing some fusion chords upon the backing track provided by the contest itself and, upon those, I build some intervallic lines by combining diminished and modal scales. Guitar is tuned EADGCFAD, so one step below the standard 8 string tuning.
Whatever my rank will be, if you take a minute to listen to this solo it’s already a victory for me.

Hello everybody! Here is a short but intense guitar solo I played in the song “A-53” written by Marco Vitali for the Ulag Zone Assault project.
Mixed and mastered by Mauro Ulag Mancinelli.
Noemi Terrasi plays another fine solo in the tune.
At this link you can hear the full song: https://ulagzone.blogspot.com/%E2%80%A6/02/ulag-zone-assault-1-53.html

Some airy arpeggios on the 8 strings classical guitar in a very rainy sunday here in Italy. Close your eyes and dream.

This is how I normally spend my evenings: on the sofa, rolling out meaningless phrasings on a instrument of choice (tonight, the BassLab guitar).

In questo album dei Sanity Obscure da Singapore, datato 26 agosto 2018, mi potete trovare ospite con un assolo di chitarra nel brano Technomancer.
Sono stato invitato da Joshua Leon, chitarrista e principale compositore della band, e già fondatore del progetto Celestial Serenity, in cui ho suonato il Chapman Stick nel 2014.
Lo stile dei Sanity Obscure pesca a piene mani dalle migliori band di death metal dei primi anni 90, con l’inserimento di svariati elementi progressivi, alieni e fantascientifici. Vi consiglio caldamente di aggiungerli nelle vostre playlist, non ve ne pentirete.

Here is some silly “videogamish” music on the Chapman Stick. The two hands move a third apart keeping the same intervals along. Due to the reciprocal tuning of the Stick the motion of the lines moves across octaves.
