My Repertoires
My musical activity is divided into two main areas: the solo guitar repertoire and chamber music in various ensembles, each of which allows me to explore and express a broader range of musical possibilities.

Solo Repertoire:
As a soloist, I have developed a repertoire that spans various eras and styles, from the masterpieces of the Renaissance and Baroque periods to contemporary compositions. Through the solo guitar repertoire, I am able to delve into the intimacy and expressive depth of the instrument, striving to capture every timbral and dynamic nuance.

Chamber music:
Chamber music represents a fundamental dimension of my musical journey and holds a particularly significant tradition for the guitar. Italian composers of the 19th century, such as Mauro Giuliani, Ferdinando Carulli, and Niccolò Paganini—who laid the foundations of the modern Guitar School—made a decisive contribution to this chamber repertoire. Since the early 20th century, the repertoire for guitar and other instruments has expanded considerably and continues to grow, offering new opportunities for musical dialogue.
These collaborations have enabled me to form a variety of instrumental combinations:   guitar and flute, guitar and violin, guitar and viola, guitar and harp, guitar and harpsichord, guitar and voice, as well as guitar, mandolin, and harp..
Through these ensembles, a true sense of polyphony emerges—a dialogue that enriches and amplifies my musical language. Chamber music provides me with a broadened musical perspective, allowing me to perceive a sense of “symphony” not only as a fusion of voices but also as a form of musical rhetoric that harkens back to the Baroque tradition. This approach, combined with the colors and nuances of each instrument, enables me to access a musical experience that unites complexity and beauty. Ultimately, the interplay between the solo repertoire and the chamber music dimension is an inexhaustible source of inspiration for me, one that nourishes and enriches my musical vision.

Live electronics
In my artistic journey, I have undertaken and continue to develop an in-depth exploration of contemporary music performance, delving into new soundscapes and expressive possibilities through dedicated instruments, including the 10-string guitar (Yepes model), electric guitar, and MIDI guitar. This repertoire, which I have approached and continue to explore with dedication, demands a specific technical and interpretative approach, enriched by the use of live electronics.

Instrumentation and Live Electronics:
In the realm of live electronics, I have employed and continue to use dedicated devices that enable real-time interaction with musical events. These include audio interfaces, pedalboards, MIDI converters, and multi-effects units, which I integrate to create a dynamic and versatile sound experience. My approach is based on a rational and thorough understanding of these technologies, aimed at enhancing interaction with sound.
In addition to physical devices, I have implemented and continue to develop customized setups using MaxMSP. This software, which has become one of my primary tools, allows me to manage complex sound parameters in real time and respond flexibly and adaptively to the score's requirements. Thanks to MaxMSP, I can create unique and adaptable sound interactions, enabling me to respond to musical interpretation with precision and fully realize the potential of each performance.

Performance Experience and Approach:
In my past and current experiences, performing contemporary music with live electronics has driven me to seek a balance between technical control and interpretative sensitivity. The wide range of instruments and technologies I have used and continue to explore offers a broad spectrum of timbral possibilities, but also requires meticulous attention to sonic detail to faithfully convey the composer's intent and the structure of each work.
The experience I have accumulated in this field allows me to create immersive performances for the audience, where the instrument and electronics engage in a seamless real-time dialogue. I continue to explore new sonic possibilities, contributing to the expansion of the repertoire for guitar and electronics and innovating the way contemporary music can be performed and perceived.
Among the composers whose works I have performed with various instrumentation and live electronics are Steve Reich, Maurizio Giri, Azio Corghi, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Hugues Dufourt, and many others, each with their own unique and complex soundscapes.
