Project Magellano

During my career, I played, and still play, in very different contexts. Nevertheless, I've always enjoyed everything I've come across. This results from my innate curiosity toward every form of musical and artistic expression I have cultivated since I was a boy.

In the middle of our life's journey, I found myself within a dark wood where the straight way was lost ….

(Dante Alighieri)

Instead of finding myself in a dark forest, or probably because I had ended up right there, I ultimately felt the urge to play myself.

So, exploring as profoundly as possible the different expressions that moved me, I discovered that there were languages, many in reality, that irresistibly attracted me.

Regardless of the time or land they originated, I found the enchantment in the sounds that characterized them.

The magic that allowed these emotions pushed me to trace the rules and models to try to recombine everything, synthesizing my language and my message. As if they were words, I reassembled the letters to create new expressions, more intimate, evocative, and mine. 'Magellano' is the first result of this new magic.
