I AM AN INDEPENDENT MUSIC PRODUCER AND VISUAL EXPERIMENTER. I CREATE 80'S NOSTALGIC DREAMPOP, RETROWAVE AND VAPORWAVE ATMOSPHERES:
SORIES OF ROBOTS, VIDEOGAMES, LOVES AND SOME HORROR CULT MOVIES INSPIRATIONS.
A STORY
I belong to the generation of the 80s. I was only a child, but the memory of that era will remain forever indelible in my conscience.
Everything seemed possible: making money, an happy family, a new car, a job, japanese anime, videogames, the carefree youth... I could go on for hours, but what is certain is that worries were only passing thoughts, we didn't carry on our shoulders the weight of all current problems.
Perhaps we were deluded, but in our days, everything seems to be more difficult, problems settle in our heads and give us no respite, not even in sleep, every single individual is as if he had suffered a reduction in his own consciousness and his ego, perfectly proportional to the reduction of future prospects.
Hey wait, don't get me wrong, I don't want to be so pessimistic, maybe I'm just mulling over my past, my nostalgia and that's why I'm here.
I would like just to relive certain sensations, certain emotions, and the love for the life of the golden ages.
I hope to give you something....

ME...
I have always loved all forms of art, mainly music and video.
When I approached music I was less than 10 years old and I asked my mother a very big present: a sampler and a synthesizer. I had no idea how they were used, but practice and experimentation led me towards to a good knowledge of synthesis.
I felt that I was missing something, so I studied composition, harmony and percussion for several years.
I have always created things, of all kinds, of every mood without setting limits, this was beautiful, but was frustrating at times. Sometimes having too many ideas gets you nowhere.
In the years I've collaborated on various musical projects and with international record labels with other artistic names.
Then around 2016 I realized that my path would have been independent production, disconnected from any record label or "business design"... and here I am today.
In the meantime I have implemented and am implementing my notions in the visual arts, music for me also means image.
THE VISION...
In a world with fragile prospects, I decided to try to relive the memory of the years of well-being, at least mine: the 80s.
When people ask me what music I make, sometimes I find myself in trouble.
My artistic soul certainly has many shades and at the moment I can tell to produce RETROWAVE, SYNTHWAVE, VAPORWAVE and SYNTHPOP with contaminations of some other genres.
My music is often not quite that, but it is also that...
