Overview
About Me
I am a researcher in theoretical physics by day and a musician by night. In the last years I have lived in Italy, Germany, USA and Spain. Basically what I love is to meet folks with a lot of passion in what they do and stories to tell.
Now I live in Granada, Andalucia, since five years.
Philosophy:
"I live my life in widening circles
that reach out across the world.
I may not complete this last one
but I give myself to it.
I circle around God, around the primordial tower.
I've been circling for thousands of years
and I still don't know: am I a falcon,
a storm, or a great song?"
[Rainer Maria Rilke]
Interests
I play saxophone,(alto and soprano) and flutes. I have a group, Modo 130, that mixes mediterrean modal music with jazz. The music of the mediterrean sea,mainly greek, turkish and italian, is my passion and I am travelling always to discover and study new music.
I like to travel by foot or by bicycle. I have also done a lot of hitchhike.
My favorite were: Camino de Santiago de Compostela, Rota Alentejana, Presquil de Crozon, Via Francigena.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
