Approach

Songwriter and lyricist, musician, improviser and experimenter: music is a foundation of my work that has — often — taken unexpected directions. Complementary to literature, it represents that intangible aspect, not physically concrete, which leads me to explore, through the voice, what I do not know.
The vocal unknown is something emerging from a place that lies within, though I cannot say in which part of me or in what position it sits; it undergoes an impulse and pours out elsewhere, into the outside.

Extra-genre

Over the years I have moved through different genres (from pop to gospel to jazz) and co-founded projects in which the urge to write original pieces, to invent hybrid forms — between literature and music — or to step outside the ordinary all converge.

Loop

Since 2009, first in duo with Irene Brazzolotto (TW/Two Women) and then in solo, I pursued a project using the loop station for instant composition and singing.

Projects

From 2012, I have been the voice of UnkNwn, a project of experimental electronic and IDM.
From 2016, I have worked together with The Expanding Universe with Johann Merrich and Aldo Aliprandi, a group of electronic research inspired to the principles of the Intuitive Music of Karlheinz Stockhausen. The project was an artistic residency for the Padiglione Francia “Studio Venezia” of the 57. International Art Exhibition -Biennale of Venice, curated by Xavier Veilhan (3-4-5th August 2017) and participated in the Festival of “Santarcangelo” di Romagna in 2018 with a sleeping concert.
As a duo with Johann Merrich, in 2017, I gave voice and text to Then At One Point – Fragments from Francesca Woodman.
Since 2016, in duo with Solar Plex, we produced overwriting hoch: inside the voice of Hannah Höch
 presented at the “Conservatory B. Marcello” of Venice in October 2017, for the call for works #3 by V.E.R-V. We took part to the collective albums 7 Deadly Sins (2017) and From Outer Space: a leap into the future (2018) of the netlabel electronicgirls. One of our pieces has been included in the collective album Ö (2017) – curated by the Canadian artist EeL.

Electronica

From 2016 to 2020 I collaborated with the performance poet Silvia Salvagnini, Nico De Giosa on the music and the video artist Marco Maschietto on a project that set poetry to music, creating new landscapes through performances in which nature is the protagonist and itself the author. Our record is Il seme dell’abbraccio (Milk – Minds in a Lovely Karma 2018), from the book of the same name.

With Enrico Coniglio I recorded the track NELL’ATTESA DEL TUO PROSSIMO RESPIRO (‘Waiting for your next breath’), a new Coniglio’s work inside the same name album with Stefano Guzzetti, Stefano Gentile and Monica Testa (13 / silentes 2018). Since 2026 I have been collaborating with Lietoofine on a project of electronics, poetry and lyrics.
