I am a composer, orchestrator, and soundtrack producer with a Master’s in Composition from the Conservatorio di Santa Cecilia in Rome. Over the years, I have developed a career that bridges creativity and technical precision, working across film, documentary, live performance, and music production. My work in cinema includes composing the original soundtrack for the feature film Malati di Sesso (2018) and the award-winning documentary Astor Place: The American Dream (2022), where I also orchestrated and produced the score, recording live instruments and programming orchestral parts. I have created original music for film trailers and contributed to projects recognized at international film festivals. In 2024, I collaborated on Samuele Bersani’s live tour as an orchestral transcriber and arranger, preparing scores for the orchestra and conductor. Beyond scoring and arranging, I am deeply involved in music production for emerging artists. I own and operate my own recording studio, where I guide artists through the entire creative and technical process, from composition and arrangement to recording, mixing, and mastering, ensuring each project achieves the highest quality and artistic vision. My compositions often draw inspiration from both narrative storytelling and the evocative power of sound, transforming imaginative ideas into immersive musical journeys. Notable works include my symphonic piece "Three Marine Episodes for Orchestra," composed as a master’s thesis, exploring the adventures and perils of the sea. I continue to pursue projects that challenge me creatively and technically, combining my deep understanding of composition and orchestration with hands-on production expertise to shape music that resonates with audiences worldwide.…I am a composer, orchestrator, and soundtrack producer with a Master’s in Composition from the Conservatorio di Santa Cecilia in Rome.

Brighton by Vic Richardson

I produced and arranged “Brighton” by Vic Richardson, crafting a warm, English folk-pop sound with modern sensibilities. The track is anchored by acoustic guitar, which carries both the rhythm and melodic heart of the song, while a subtle rhythmic section of percussion, bass, and Wurlitzer adds depth and movement without overpowering the organic feel. Drawing inspiration from artists like Oasis and Ed Sheeran, the arrangement blends a nostalgic, Brit-pop charm with contemporary polish. I worked closely with the artist on the vocal performance, shaping background layers and harmonies to enhance emotional resonance. I also handled the mixing and mastering, ensuring the final track is balanced, vibrant, and fully expressive of the artist’s vision…I produced and arranged “Brighton” by Vic Richardson, crafting a warm, English folk-pop sound with modern sensibilities.

La Pianura delle Volpi by Luca di Tommaso

I co-composed, co-produced and arranged “La Pianura delle Volpi” by Luca Di Tommaso, together with Giorgio Balestra, shaping an acoustic and organic sound that emphasizes the dialogue between piano and voice. The piano provides both melodic and structural support, weaving seamlessly with the vocal line. Layers of acoustic guitars add a folk-inspired flavor, enriching the harmonic texture. Despite its earthy, acoustic foundation, the track carries a modern pop sensibility, balancing warmth and accessibility.

Bambina by Elettricaessenza

I co-produced and arranged this track on commission for the artist Elettricaessenza, together with Giorgio Balestra. Starting from a simple guitar-and-vocal demo, we shaped the arrangement with a retro-inspired sound, using clean electric guitars, organs, and electric pianos, enriched by subtle synth textures. While these instruments give the track a distinctly vintage character, the drums introduce a modern touch, adding energy and contrast to the overall atmosphere. All parts were recorded between my studio and Giorgio’s. We also collaborated on the vocal production, layering background vocals and sound effects to enhance the emotional depth and create a seamless dialogue between voice and instrumentation. Finally, I handled the mixing and mastering, ensuring a refined and coherent sound that blends nostalgic tones with contemporary production…I co-produced and arranged this track on commission for the artist Elettricaessenza, together with Giorgio Balestra.

Crown Energy Spot

Composer of the original soundtrack for spot Crown Energy(2022). Beyond composition, I also orchestrated and produced the score — recording every instrument myself, blending live performance with programmed orchestral textures. The idea originates from a promise — THE PROMISE OF A LAND RETURNING TO LAND. In this story, Angola’s land fulfills that promise through the magic of children, who often shape the hoped-for future through imagination. An African nursery rhyme opens the tale, the music highlights its wonder, the spiral staircase of a building animates the dialogue between the two young protagonists, and the green paint on the girl’s fingers turns the map of Angola back into forest.
