My professional background concerns the world of audio, starting from all technical aspects regarding sound treatment up to the composition and creation of music in traditional format, electronic and experimental music and sound design for site-specific installations. I have a research-oriented approach to sound, focusing on the interaction between audio, performers, visuals, and space. To do this i use programming environments such as Max/MSP to design custom tools and interactive systems, as well as multichannel spatial audio technologies including Ambisonics. Regarding my working career I can define myself as a sound engineer and electroacoustic composer with over fifteen years of professional experience across live sound, music production, post-production for concerts, performances, recordings, and site-specific installations. Equally comfortable in live and studio environments, I combine solid technical expertise with musical sensitivity developed through formal conservatory training. I am highly adaptable, detail- oriented, and accustomed to collaborating with multidisciplinary teams, contributing both technical solutions and creative direction.
