About me

Hello! My name is Francesco, and I am an experienced composer, sound designer, and live performer specialized in electronic and electroacoustic music and Ableton music producing.

My journey in music began with classical studies in violin and piano, which later evolved into a passion for innovative soundscapes, experimental composition and dance music production

I bring years of experience in teaching through in-person studio sessions and direct lessons, focusing on music theory and production. Now, I am eager to expand my teaching methods to the online environment, embracing innovative approaches to connect with a broader audience and deliver engaging, high-quality educational experiences.

What I Offer

Expertise in Music Composition: I hold a Master's degree in Sound Design for Multimedia Applications and a Bachelor's degree in Electronic Music, both completed with top honors. My compositions have been showcased at prestigious international events like the ICMC Music Conference (Seoul, Shenzhen) and festivals like Futura (France) and AudioArt (Poland).

Live Performance Skills: I have been a live performer since 2018, participating in renowned festivals such as MainOff and Echoes Around Me. My live project co-created with my brother, explores the fusion of electronic music and visual art.

Sound Design & Audiovisual Creations: I bring a strong background in sound design, with published audiovisual works such as Stripping Away Reality, which you can still find online.

Teaching Philosophy

I believe that music is both an art and a language. Whether you're interested in the fundamentals of composition, advanced sound design techniques, or live performance strategies, I tailor lessons to your individual goals and skill levels. My approach combines technical rigor with creative exploration to help you find your unique voice in music.

Languages

I teach in English and Italian, accommodating students from diverse cultural backgrounds.

Let’s collaborate and unlock your potential in the world of music and sound design. I look forward to helping you achieve your goals!

Learning music production with Francesco is awesome He is funny, very calm and patient and last but not least, he explains things in such an interesting and easy understanding way that it feels more like watching a movie than "beeing in a classroom". His ability to adapt to every individual pace of learning is extremely important for both beginners and advanced. It is also worth noting that he is very experienced and with that he teaches you how to be creative with simple but very effective tricks. You will not regret choosing Francesco, I highly recommend him!
