Musical abilities

Remarkable musical ear (I need just little listening of a theme and I can riproduce it also with different tones). Ability to transfer in music state of minds and sensations.

Working method

The come out of a product that be, at the same time, excellent quality and “hearable” is made according to a working method that consists of several phases. The first one is the drafting of a main theme and an harmonic base line; then arrangement is settled. It can influence drafting, harmonic progression and melody according to the style. Each instrument, electric guitars, complex cord instruments etc, is played by the keyboard, trying to totally reproduce the original style, with a strong preference for acoustic sounds rather than synthetical ones. Last phase is fully dedicated to mix the completed product (fading equalization and effetts), this phase requires extreme accuracy.

Musical preferences
