I build tools because the clouds asked me to.

Never had guitars at home before 2016, in Milo's house I heard a little voice in my head and I followed it. I believe that the place is the incipit, Milo is the creative element.

For me the tools are already contained in the materials, I simply free them from excess material. What I'm looking for is sound, everything can vibrate and generate frequencies. Each material has a sonic soul, different identities and tells its own story. I follow intuitions, I combine elements several times. I often search on YouTube.

I am very fascinated by the compromises between engineering and ergonomics, I really enjoy designing the impossible. Accustomed to working with light, I try to imagine the propagation of sound. Often instruments are born from scraps of previous instruments or from random objects, like a pot with an amazing sound.

The most exciting moment is obviously when I try an instrument for the first time, when I verify the validity of the intuition I started with.

We distinguish thousands of shades of color to which we associate as many emotions, I don't understand why with the sound that touches us in a more sensitive and intimate way we limit ourselves to 12 notes, to just 12 emotions. I have the feeling that there is still a lot to explore in music. I hope that "different" instruments can help on this journey, suggest directions or intuitions, become capsules, probes, satellites, antennas, telescopes for sound explorers.
