Who am I?
I am a French and Italian composer, pianist and audiovisual artist based in London.
My work allows me to explore my identity as a neurodivergent, disabled and multi-cultural artist, and I have a particular interest in site-specific projects investigating the link between music and the natural world as well as projects focusing on Neurodivergent and Disability cultures.
My own sensitivity to cross-modal perceptions of music and my love for interdisciplinary storytelling have led me to compose the music for large-scale immersive installations in collaboration with institutions such as the Schneiberg Museum, the Museum of Oriental Art of Turin and the Zeni Wine Museum, receiving international acclaim.
I am a senior lecturer at BIMM University, and I am currently undertaking a PhD at Goldsmiths, University of London, to develop compositional strategies based on the auraldiversity of neurodivergent musicians.
Projects I love:
-
Site-specific works
-
Projects empowering marginalised communities
-
Projects exploring the link between music and the natural world
-
Educational projects - particularly those relating to the themes above
What I bring to any collaboration:
-
Expert knowledge of composition and arranging, musical storytelling, and emotional development of a piece.
-
In-depth understanding of the way music interacts with a variety of art forms, from film and theatre to multi-sensory installations.
-
A curious and open mind: I am always interested in meeting new collaborators, exploring unfamiliar concepts and original ideas, and adapting my skills and workflow to each individual’s needs.
-
A strong and holistic work ethics based on mutual respect, flexibility and integrity.
I would love to work with you if:
-
You like to play an active role in collaborations, bouncing ideas back and forth and exploring possibilities together.
-
You value a holistic approach to collaboration and want to work with someone who respects you as an individual and cares about your well-being.
-
You are passionate about equality, diversity and inclusivity in the arts.
You might be a performer, a lyricist, a scientist, a writer, a choreographer, a curator, a visual artist, or something else entirely. If you have an idea for a project and feel we might be a good fit, I would love to hear from you!
