Biography

Kia ora, I am an Italian music scholar and musician based in Aotearoa New Zealand; I teach composition and computer music at the School of Music of the University of Auckland.

I have a PhD in Computer Science (University of Trento, Italy) and a MSc and BSc in Computer Science (University of Verona, Italy). I also worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Augmented Instruments Laboratory at Queen Mary University of London and at the Interaction Lab of the University of Trento.

My research is focused on understanding how computer technologies (particularly music streaming and AI) are shaping the way we perform, compose, learn, and listen to music, and on designing alternative futures.

I have developed numerous musical instruments, interfaces, and installations and mobile applications and I have released a few brutal death metal and experimental electronic albums.
