He is really interested in the artistic relation between electronic music, visual art and installations, creating projects that links all theses artistic expressions.
He founded together with the sound designer Jacopo Biffi the project MATER: project born with a particular focus on aumented material surfaces, electronically processed.
In 2018, together with other musicians and electronic artists, he founded the project MONOC; a multidisciplinary collective based in Milan and formed by 6 performers, a video artist and a sound designer.
The founding idea of the collective is to create new artistic projects starting from the union of four main elements: Music, Sound, Image, Object.
As a first work, the collective elaborated a version of the composition by the minimalist composer Michael Gordon called "Timber" for 6 percussionist and create around it a live video installation.
Galleries, expositive spaces and non-conventional spaces are places that really interest him, having the opportunity to perform in different art spaces like: Pirelli Hangar Bicocca, Fondazione Prada in Milano and many others.
He is also interested in the study and research of percussion instruments from extra-eu musical traditions, with a particular focus on frame drums of Middle-Eastern tradition.
