I am a composer, new media artist and developer working across sound, space, machine listening and adaptive audiovisual systems.
I studied historical musicology, pedagogy, composition and electronic music in Italy at the University of Bologna and Conservatorio G.B. Martini, before moving to Germany to complete a M.A. in multimedia composition at Hochschule für Musik und Theater (HfMT) in Hamburg. I later worked as a researcher at HfMT, developing interactive systems for installations and performative contexts, and received a PhD from HfMT and the Hamburg University of Applied Sciences (HAW) with a dissertation on adaptive sonic-spatial environments and the artistic use of machine learning in multimodal systems.
My music has been performed by ensembles and orchestras including Ensemble Intercontemporain, Klangforum Wien, Ensemble Musiques Nouvelles, the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and the Symphoniker Hamburg among others. My work has been presented at international festivals and conferences including Manifeste, Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival, Impuls, Blurred Edges, Tactus, ICMC, SMC, TENOR and AIMC.
I have also worked as an interaction designer and software developer on projects for the Universität der Künste (UdK) in Berlin and the Digital Stage Foundation. Since 2017 I have regularly lectured on instrument and sound design at HfMT Hamburg, where, from 2023, I have led the seminar “Artificial Models for Multimodal Creativity”. In 2024, I was appointed Professor of Multimedia at the Conservatorio di Piacenza, Italy.
