Spotlights
For almost 20 years I develop software for other composers. These include such illustrious names such as Karlheinz Stockhausen, Thomas Kessler, Jacques Wildberger and Rolf Riehm. For Giorgio Tedde I´m doing the entire programming for his work since several years. Occasionally I also port the electronic parts of older works by other composers (Luigi Nono, Thomas Kessler and others) to a more contemporary platform. The programming environments I use for such works are Max/MSP/Jitter (Cycling74) and MARS (IRIS, Rome).
Since MAX5 the GUI programming has changed a lot...

My current long-time project is to build up a compact, analog stage instrument, which can be integrated fully into the computer live electronics. The duophonic ARP Odyssey (built 1972-81) has proved, after some modifications, as the ideal instrument for this. Easy to transport and perfect to extend through the ARP Little Brother and/or the ARP Axxe.
A truly wonderful, small synthesizer, whose phonetic complexity excites the musician in me! Also in terms of instrumental discipline the Odyssey is a challenge, which is promising utmost pleasure when regular practiced.
The good old M.A.R.S. (Musical Audio Research Station) from IRIS in Paliano (near Rome). In addition to what it does, it still sounds more convincing than MSP. Sadly, that IRIS has dissolved. Even on the Internet legacies have largely disappeared, so that I, as one of the few individuals who possessed a M.A.R.S., feel the urge, posting some kind of tribute to the M.A.R.S. here. (while I am always dealing with the idea of using it more in my works).
After many years of consistent cooperation with studios (such as the Electronic Studio of the Music Academy Basel and the Experimental Studio of the SWF, Freiburg), I was able to establish my own small (16 I/O) and very nice studio in the recent years. Highest quality of the equipment and usage in complete mobility presented the measurement - that ensures the greatest autonomy. Although studio also means "recording studio", the especially bias is "Experimental Studio for Electroacoustic Music."
