Biography

[edit]

He is an exponent and main promoter of the group of Florentine artists, operating from the end of the Second World War to today including Sylvano Bussotti, Giuseppe Chiari, Giancarlo Cardini, Albert Mayr, Pietro Grossi, Marcello Aitiani e Sergio Maltagliati. These musicians have experimented the interaction among sound, sign and vision, a synaesthetics of art derived from historical avant-gardes, from Kandinskij to futurism, to Scrjabin and Schoenberg, all the way to Bauhaus.[3]

He worked extensively on the music of the twentieth-century avant-garde movements, including first modern performances of a large number of compositions of Futurism music. [4]

In his work he has incorporate sign, gesture, and sound into a unitary concept of multiple perception, through analogies, contrasts, stratifications, and associations. He has produced from 1969 on, since 1990, drawings, paintings, computer graphics and videos. [5]
