From playing guitar in bands as a teenager, to conducting 60-piece orchestras on a scoring stage, music is what started my journey with sound. My work spans advertising campaigns, feature films, TV show, and video games. I perform experimental electronic music which has been featured on BBC Radio 4 and BBC Sounds.
Working with Alessandro has been a seamless experience. He has an extraordinary ear for detail, capturing the essence of a project while adding his creative touch. He’s incredibly talented, easy to work with and brings great ideas to the table too.

Ever since hearing Holst’s The Planets Suite for the first time, the magical mystery of space has been deeply connected to music in my mind.
I have been lucky enough to have had many occasions to write "space music": from my appearance in Bleeding Fingers' Space Tones series to an upcoming real-time RPG to writing the official demo for Arturia's Minifreak Stellar
While my love for ambient music has deep roots, my fascination with cassettes is more recent. A few years ago, I watched a video of Alessandro Cortini touring with Nine Inch Nails and performing on a 4-track cassette recorder: I was floored by that demonstration of creativity and I bought a broken Tascam Portastudio shortly after.
Several services and circuit modifications later, a corner of my studio now looks like the bedroom of a teenage musician in the ’90s.
Writing orchestral music is, at the same time, the most difficult and most rewarding part of being a composer.
Every time I approach this eternal and universal language I face this challenge with honour and love for music.
