Composer and sound designer. I write music for images, spaces and people.
I have just finished music school, and I spent those years working out one thing: how to make a place audible. I start from field recordings and build on them rather than clean them away. I compose for short films, installations and podcasts, and I take commissions.
Recorded at one in the morning on the number 4, with the recorder resting on the seat. An empty tram has an acoustic of its own: the metal rings for a long time and every stop is a written rest. I kept the room tone and built the piano on top of it rather than clearing it away. This is not a piece about a sleeping city; it is about crossing one while it sleeps.

Un esercizio diventato un brano. Dovevo studiare la modulazione e ho scelto come vincolo un temporale registrato dalla finestra di casa: ogni tuono impone un cambio di tonalità, e la pioggia detta il tempo. Il risultato non è programmatico, è quasi il contrario: la struttura è arrivata da fuori e io ho solo dovuto starle dietro.

The shortest thing I have written and the one I rewrote most. Eighteen seconds because that is exactly how long the silence lasts between the last bus and the first. Everything that was not needed came out, including the tail.

A real study, written for a third-year examination and never touched again. It is here because it shows how I work when the constraint is tight: two hands, no overdubs, no processing beyond the room. Anyone looking for the technique will find it here rather than elsewhere.

The first thing I wrote to order: a title theme for an independent architecture podcast. The brief was thirty-five seconds, recognisable inside the first three. Working to someone else’s measurements taught me more than a semester of coursework.

Twelve minutes of music for an eighteen-minute film. Selected by two festivals.
Thesis on field recording as compositional material rather than as backdrop.
First paid commission. Thirty-five seconds, recognisable inside the first three.
