this is one of those stories where the
starting point is the point of arrival
it’s still the same but I can assure you
that I did not stop everything began
in 2013 when I really decided to
leaving Torino was a bit narrow
I was doing the same things too much
I needed to make new ones
experiences and I was screwing up a bit
myself the urge was to try to
reach a loved one this
loved one was in nepal
as a musician I almost wanted the
need to combine the experience of
trip to my great passion me
it will seem strange but trivially a night
digital on google kathmandu and jazz e
walk kathmandu jazz conservatories the
kathmandu conservatory I wrote
I will immediately reply as well
immediately after about a week
they offered me four months of contract
we know that nepal is not one of those
rich nations and therefore the contract does not
unfortunately expected the coverage of the
international travel expenses
from Italy
so I decided to write to the institute of
Italian culture closer to new
delhi explaining the situation to him
Well, to my surprise and without it
direct contacts
they offered me concerts in India with i
which I could cover the expenses of
travel and enjoy a fund to live
at best the experience in the country
I left the concerts went well
contacts have increased
the wheel began to turn are
three years were magnificent and travel
here is a little taste

globe trotter saxophonist experience
I have radically changed my life
saw China’s growing reality
india and australia where italianità
it’s a default value added that I have
tried to make the best use of it
I have also received excellent proposals for
well paid job the teacher or the
performer but I’m back I decided to
come back after years spent absorbing
sounds culture colors I heard the
need of a peaceful place that was
home where you can throw it out through
the music
everything that I had lived charlie
great saxophonist parker said the
music and your experience your
thoughts and your wisdom
if you do not live, music will never come
out of your instrument in my case the
saxophonist history will come the
traveler will be told in mine
third solo album that currently
in production an album that will have
electronic atmospheres improvisations e
cultural contaminations
I will collaborate with local artists and
artists met abroad a
Senegalese percussionist the rapper
Chinese classical music singer
indiana turin is home and this is the
best place to do it
turin has great potential and is
becoming more and more cities
international there are excellent artists
level with which to collaborate and with which
match
there is also the downside
it must be said that only in the city
in my little I know there are 20 more or more
fewer saxophonists very good
professionals
This is why I think it is necessary
work not so much on being better
technically of others but on the
on their own uniqueness
authenticity
you have to dig inside yourself for
hear your own voice and to find out
its own sound now the beauty of the
mix of cultures is becoming a must
of my projects
in addition to the solo record or a band with
which I love to play formed by three musicians
Senegalese and two Italian musicians
all residing in turin
the band is still called bit now with
lacquer
and the thing is a traditional harp
of West Africa
I like to share the experience of
saxophonist traveler and explain how
I managed to play at festivals
embassy embassies institutes of culture
to those who want to throw themselves
as I did without management without
event organization agencies only
with my strength
many ask me for little ones but
important tips on things I have
learned in the field
Well what can I say it is
traveling alone with an instrument in
shoulder with his passion for months
in countries so different from ours
it requires courage requires capacity
organizational and improvisational skills
solve problems and needs in
quick times look for sparks
definitely an experience that makes you
grow as a turin person is my home
and my base but above all for one
craft like mine is necessary
knowing how to move knowing how to leave if for
return if to stay waiting know
partly still leave and return it
from my experience I can say that the
place that I was looking for and inside of me
and inside my instrument the song that
I want to play you is a song composed of three
years ago before departure for the
Nepal
a song that then brought me a lot
luck with which I opened the main ones
concerts of all tours
the song is called chromatic moon and is
a great honor for me to be true
play today thanks and good listening
