Well, actually I am alone and do not have a band, I am a "one man band" ahahaha;
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
My approach with music started when I was 6, but the firsts real experiences in music happened when I was in the age between 10 and 14 years old: at the time I was a keyboard player. Starting to 15 until 22 years old, I almost abandoned playing and just listened to a lot of music of any kind... may be I was searching my way :D
Then... at the age of 23 I started serious private drums lessons from a powerful teacher, and after two years I also started guitar lessons...
Now I wish to improve my tecnique in both instruments, I will play keyboards too again and... if you ask me "what I aim to" the answer is "I aim to become a soundtrack maker!!!" for videogames, movies or theatres (I alredy did something for theatres ;)
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
this kind of music is almost impossible to play live, but anyway I don't like it (even if I did it when I was kid...) anymore because I prefer to imagine people who listen to my music, doing it carefully with good headphones to hear each shade... ;)
Your musical influences
I listen to every kind of music, from each country (and I mean from China, Japan, Egypt, Turkey, India, Africa, Brazil, Bolivia ecc) not only Italy, USA, or Europe. I believe the most important thing in my music is the rythm, that can be created with any instruments and not only by those "standard"; so in my music is easy to find a guitar riff with heavy distorsion together with a latin percussion base... ;)
What equipment do you use?
actually my equipment is...
uh uh, I did change lots of things on October 2008, I throwed away my old desktop PC and bought a dual core laptop with 4Gb RAM and I feel a lot better this way. I also trashed my drumkit (the more you age, the less time you have to do too things, so you must choose..) and the Audiophile/Samson preamplifier duo; instead, I bought a E-mu Tracker Pre with Class A preamplifier: superb. I kept Cubase SL3, which seems to run ok even on Vista, and also the Radium master keyboard.
There is no need to say that my Jackson axe is in the same place as ever ;)
