Been playing piano\/keyboards since: 1977
\nDigital Press Kit (bio, photos, video, songs, press): www.reverbnation.com\/rpk\/mistheria
\nAt the age of six years, I started studying music, thanks to the passion of my father who had studied
\nAccordion, when he was a child, with Maestro Marco Aurelio Pisegna, famous accordionist, composer and performer,
\nwho became a close friend of the family since the time of my grandparents. He has been my first teacher who
\nintroduced me into the world of classical music. With teacher Marco, I began studying at age of seven, Music Theory,
\nSolfeggio and Accordion, and I started also to play at numerous competitions for accordion obtaining first and second
\nplaces and numerous honorable mentions. The results encouraged me to study more and better.
\nAt the age of thirteen I decided (dazzled in one night) to continue my musical studies at the Music
\nConservatory, and finally become a professional musician.
\nFollowing an entrance examination, I enrolled in the class of „Organ
\nand Organ Composition“ of teacher Mrs. Annamaria Polcaro which,
\nalready in her sixties, passed her long teaching experience and formed
\nthe whole basis of my piano technique, first , and then organ. With
\nher, I studied also Harmony, Counterpoint and Fugue up to five years. At the same time, I
\nstudied „Solfeggio“ with teacher Mrs. Laura Bianchini, \u201cHistory of Music\u201d with M\u00b0 Pietro
\nAcquafredda and „Gregorian Chant“ with M\u00b0 Giandomenico Piermarini.
\nAfter the exam for the fifth year, I continued to study with M\u00b0 Paolo Cerasoli until the
\nfinal diploma which I achieved in 1995 with full marks, honors and special mention.
\nIn the Conservatory, during my studies in Piano and Organ, I followed the classes of \u201cElectronic Music\u201d with M\u00b0
\nMichelangelo Lupone and \u201cExperimental Composition\u201d with M\u00b0 Alessandro Sbordoni. These classes have completed my
\nmusic knowledge with a broad vision of harmony, electronics and computer science applied to music, studying music
\ntechnology and digital media, computer music and MIDI.
\nDuring the years of study at the Conservatory I also started my concert career, both as pianist and organist as well as
\na composer by supporting essays solo and chamber orchestras. I developed the composition especially in the theater,
\nthanks to a long collaboration of more than fifteen years with the actor, now dear friend, Sergio Megrossi for which I
\ncomposed the soundtrack of many shows.
\nThe 1990 sees the formation of my first official band „Mirage“ for which I proposed and wrote my first songs typically
\nprogressive, in the style of Genesis, Yes, Jethro Tull, Pink Floyd, Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso and others progressive
\nbands of that years. These bands, which I heard long buying the whole discography, have greatly influenced my
\nmusical taste and compositional style. The first recording contract, both for me and the
\nMirage, arrived in 1994 with the album „Frammenti“ published by the Italian label Mellow
\nRecords.
\nIn 1996 I create my own musical show which made my idea of a global art blending music,
\npoetry, dance and image. A cast of fifteen people is part of this show titled
\n„Metamorphosis“, subsequently „Imperator“.
\nThe work as session man starts at the age of eighteen with some local bands
\nand then having real tours throughout Italy with singers of the Italian Pop
\nmusic scene and stage actors for over fifteen years (M. Cherubini, R. Cavalli,
\nO.R.O., Anna Tatangelo, G. Sabani, S. Meogrossi, F. Bussotti and others),
\nparticipating in radio and television events as well. As a solo keyboardist,
\nthe turning point was when my good friend Alvaro De Amicis showed me a
\nvinyl record called \u201cTrilogy\u201d recorded by a guitarist named Yngwie
\nMalmsteen … I felt it was the other side of my musical world: Metal music.
\nI started to write the first instrumental pieces for solo keyboard (such as My
\nDear Chopin, Hands of Fire) and I also started my sound research to develop
\na personal sound that allows me a total expressive control as precisely as heard on the song
\n„Trilogy“ by Y. Malmsteen. I also intuit that a traditional instrument like the keyboard would not
\nhave allowed that kind of control that I wanted … I discover the Roland AX1, so-called keytar, and it paves the way
\nfor me. Now technically I found the solution, even though the sound had not yet been reached.
\nThe evolution of computer music and music software (such as sound libraries and plugins) has
\nhelped me to forge a solo sound I wanted … After years of experimentation, research and
\nattempts, one night in 2005, the marriage between the keytar and the sound became great! The
\nsound was reacting exactly as I wanted for a long time. Meanwhile, participation as a special guest
\nin many concerts I developed many ideas and I started to create a personal setup. The musical and
\npersonal friendship with the American guitarist Neil Zaza, started in 2001, also gave me the
\nopportunity to experience many solutions at concerts around the world (Europe, USA and Asia) and
\ndeveloping better sound, control and performance.
\nIn 2000 I created my project called Viracocha, a band with whom I made my first metal songs written specifically for
\nthis band, with the collaboration of singer Cedric Vandeschrik, author of the lyrics as well. „The Beginning“ is the
\nalbum we recorded signing a contract with the neo-label SonickAttack (division of Noise Records). The band, for
\nseveral reasons including the fact that the singer was living in Johannesburg (South Africa) does not produce other
\nrecords, but some tracks listed on the album became part of my solo repertoire, including „My Dear Chopin“, „Hands
\nof Fire“ and „Devils’ Steps “
\nIn 2001 I moved to Orlando (Florida, USA) and then to Los Angeles (USA, California) for a personal experience and this
\nhas greatly influenced the lifestyle and way of working in the music knowing many musicians and bands with whom I
\nhad some performances and recordings, including guitarist Rick Renstrom and vocalist Rob Rock. After an experience
\nof about three months, I returned to Italy to resume my activities and begin a series of concerts, participating in
\nvarious musical events.
\nMy desire for cooperation and knowledge of music has always been important, and this was the
\nspringboard of my personal discography. „Messenger of the Gods“ is my first official album in which
\nI wanted to collect, in fact, some of the best musicians to create a unique and impressive musical
\nmessage. In 2004, „Messenger of the Gods“ published by Lion Music has become
\nknown as the record of 30 star-guests (such as Rob Rock, George Bellas, Matt
\nBissonette, Barry Sparks, John Macaluso, Anders Johansson, Jeff Kollman, Neil
\nZaza, to name a few) … beyond the long list of musicians involved, the work
\nfinally launched my name as an artist and keyboardist.
\nA very important moment in my career has been working with the American guitarist and producer
\nRoy Z. I worked with Roy Z on the first two albums of singer Rob Rock, and then he asked me to
\nwork on the album „Tyranny of Souls“ by Bruce Dickinson. This obviously became an important and
\nfundamental step in my musical career. Before and after working with Roy Z, I realized many records as special guest.
\nIn 2007, I recorded my piano album „Solo Piano“, a mix of Classic and New-Age, published by Italian record Videoradio
\nand co-produced by RAI Trade. The path between the Classical and Metal music has always been very short for me and
\nallows me to express fully my approach to music, composition and deeply convey my musical world .
\nAs a composer and arranger, I have done many different jobs for theater, radio and television.
\nThe creation of background music, video clips, commercials and music scene is another aspect of
\nmy composition activity that gratifies me very much. The soundtrack gives considerable space to
\nthe timbre research that stimulates the songwriting process and makes it truly unique and
\nuniversal.
\nKnowledge of music technology and digital tools learned during the years of Conservatory and
\ncontinuously developed by me, even gave me the opportunity to work with renowned manufacturers of musical
\ninstruments. As a demonstrator, I worked for Roland, Yamaha and CME, taking hundreds of demonstrations in music
\nstores, festivals, fairs and musical events.
\nIn 2008 I moved to Zagreb (Croatia) where with Ivana Greguric (songwriter and keyboardist) we start our company „Hit
\nProdukcija“ dedicated to the music production (composition, arranging, mixing and mastering, jingles, spots,
\npublishing and other).
\nIn 2010 my Metal album „Dragon Fire“, released by Finnish label Lion Music, is my first official
\nalbum as sound engineer and producer. My daily work includes practicing on piano and keyboards,
\nconcerts, teaching, composition, arranging, demonstrations, work in the recording studio as sound
\nengineer and producer.
\n2011 is the right year for my new Classical\/New-Age album titled \u201cKeys of
\nEternity\u201d, recorded in Rome (Italy) at Sifare studios, produced by Francesco
\nDigilio and released by Sifare Music Publishing. The album follows the
\nprevious „Solo Piano“ CD, but now the sound of the Piano is enriched
\nwith synthetic sounds and loops, creating a sublime and meditative atmosphere.
\nAim of my life is persistently to listen, understand, live and love Music.<\/p>\n
