Notes frome the Creative Process
The process almost always begins with the birth of an image.
Each image is the result of many explorations: small changes in parameters generate different forms, often unexpected. In this sense the work resembles musical research, where complex and unpredictable developments can arise from just a few initial ideas.
Then comes the musical part. I build it by letting myself be guided by the title suggested by the image, or simply by the visual sensation it evokes.
Finally there is the moment of encounter: images and sounds intertwine and begin to dialogue. Sometimes everything works immediately; at other times small changes, adjustments and deviations emerge.
In the first video I show a very simple example: the construction of a circle with a few drawings inside it.
I often work at the piano, in a fairly traditional way: paper, pencil and eraser. At other times I start directly from the computer.
The final image of the video grows from that initial circle through three further transformations.
It does not yet have a title. It will receive one when its moment arrives.

In the second video I highlight the creation of Dragon with Doe Eyes.
The video is titled The Wanderer. For me it represents the journey that begins each time I embark on a new path: always the same and always different.
In the music as well I tried to express this idea: a melodic element that returns again and again, but each time with a different musical “color”—sometimes almost imperceptibly, other times more clearly.

Each image is a point of balance between mathematics, imagination and listening.
