Currently, I’m one of the most recognized electric violinists, but why?
What sets me apart is my innovative approach in merging music and technology while encouraging storytelling. By narrating the content, I also feel a responsibility towards it, and the more people follow me, the more I feel this responsibility. All this makes me a creative being, divided between the analogue vibration of the strings and the partially digital world that allows me to venture into new scenarios alongside you. My main instrument, the electric violin, corresponds to what the electric guitar represents for its acoustic counterpart, a voice that is highly customizable through effects and expressive methodologies, and the more connected I keep it to the soul, the more clearly it’s able to communicate with those who listen and watch.
To master the violin technique, I was classically trained from a very young age, but soon realized that pop, rock, and electronic music were my true expressive calling: artists have always felt the need to broaden their expressive horizon beyond music within those worlds capable of conveying the urgency of contemporaneity and desire for the future.
The Role of Technology in the Future of Live Concerts
Premise, for a person like me who completes their creativity mostly in live performances, I need to ask myself a question: what does the future hold for live performances? In the coming years, we’ll see the interconnectedness between physical dimensions and virtual reality during live concerts happening more and more. With holograms, augmented reality, and immersive surroundings, the stage will become an extension of the digital sphere, allowing us to create personal worlds in which we immerse the audience in the essence of our music. In all of this, I believe that the ones who’ll succeed will be those who manage to make sense of all this, by keeping the songs, the music, the soul, and the dialogue with those who listen, sing, and dance together with the artists at the center of their narrative focus, and not just by relegating the very essence of the concert to a handheld switched-on smartphone and to passive enjoyment.
How Interactivity Will Redefine Musical Performances
Interactivity will be the new frontier. Through wearables, apps, and AI, the viewers will also be able to influence the show’s progress in real time, co-creating an ever-renewed experience together. A goal towards which I’ve always been aiming for in my journey as a performer, and which I want to reach also through the small steps that I’ll be taking for the 2024 summer tour set ups; elements that need to be tested and coordinated in stages, in order to be able, in the future, to then assemble into a large production that I feel increasingly ready to take on.
But my career is a solid path made of small steps (amid some mistakes), one at a time, and that’s how it will continue, alongside you all who back my approach.
Philosophy: Music is a universal language that must constantly evolve and renew itself, for me it has a privileged role in the flow of communication between humans, and by its own nature, it must know how to coexist with all other languages. Only by daring to embrace what’s new without fear, by pushing ourselves beyond boundaries, can we ensure we continue to touch the deepest chords of the human soul. The future is a territory to be explored, not an obstacle to be feared.
See you on tour!
