About the music
My reflection about music starts about what we define "contemporary" music. In general language we define a contemporary music as a specific kind of classical music; but with the internet era, everything becomes contemporary since we can access freely to every kind of music. So in our times also Mozart or Bach are contemporary composer. My aesthetics start from this statment. So my aim as a composer is to create a new musical language that combine the new discoveries of 20th century music with the expressive energy and driven by traditional tonal music. This can be a naive statment, but in reality it take more than one effort. So I create composition where extended tecniques, tonal chord, new timbric combnation, diatonic melodies and new conception of times melt down togheter and create new form of expression. I define this kind of music "post-tonal" music since I use element of tonality tradition in different context of space and time where noise, dissonce and melody coexist.
