He produces music on request for the IT industry, working on app and software for American and European companies.

He is in demand for the remote recording of ethnic flutes and woodwinds from different cultures of the world. Over the years, he started playing instruments like the Armenian Duduk, the Celtic Tin Whistle and Low Whistle, the Chinese Hulusi, the Arabic Ney and the Indian Bansuri.
All his flutes and woodwinds are produced by professional craftsmen from each instrument’s native country.

Giuseppe is also involved in the recording industry.
In 2022, he released Fly, a very special album in collaboration with Italian and African artists, dedicated to his spiritual journey and his faith in Christ. The record, which completely sold out in a few weeks, helped fund the mission Healthcare and Health Education in Central Africa and Ethiopia by the Capuchin Missionary Center.
The same year, he composed the Hymn of the Church Santuario della Madonna del Faggio (Italy) and performed the music for the 300th Anniversary of its foundation.

In 2023, Giuseppe started a Neoclassical Ambient Piano project, recording the EP The world moves for love, pursuing a minimalist, intimate and meditative sound.

On his YouTube channel he also arranges themes from various famous movies in versions for sleeping and relaxing.

Giuseppe also has a selection of top quality Virtual Instruments, specialized for orchestration and ethnic sounds, from the companies Native Instruments, Spitfire Audio, EastWest, 8Dio, Embertone and many others. His main DAW is Cubase.
He works in a private studio in Porretta Terme, equipped with selected hardware and designed to be very comfortable for recording flutes, for working with virtual instruments and for post-production.

Giuseppe was born in Italy in 1995. In 2019, he left his city and he moved to Porretta Terme a very small town in the North of Italy, surrounded by beautiful woods, valleys and rivers, to live in a deeper connection to nature and silence. In that moment, his life changed completely and he found full happiness after meeting his wife.

He graduated as a Sound Engineer at Fonoprint Studios in Bologna, with the iconic master and Grammy Award winner, Maurizio Biancani (Andrea Bocelli, Ennio Morricone, Zucchero). Then Giuseppe attended several specialization courses around Italy on Dolby Atmos systems, acoustic simulation, music hardware, electroacoustics, live sound engineering and line array systems.

He dedicates his music to Christ, his Lord and his biggest source of inspiration.

"A compelling sound commentary, written by a composer capable of capturing the key elements of the narrative and transforming a novel into the closest thing there can be to a movie."

- Leonardo Patrignani (De Agostini, Mondadori)

“Epic and exceptional music. Listening to them I feel like I'm catapulted into Hyperversum!”
