Bio..

        Hi, my name is Alessandro Fiorin Damiani and I was born in the year of Monkey gold, in the first decade of the Virgo sign. These are my know-hows: ‘musician’ (..but I prefer ‘melonaut’), ‘music therapist’ and ‘tarotist’ (view Arcani). In the second half of the 90s I began to experiment with the analogical language of sound and in 1999 I co-founded the DENSO art movement. From 2002 I became interested in the therapeutic aspects of music, especially from the ‘ethno-psychiatry’ point of view; after, I began to share my experiences through workshops in the field of mental health and I call it ‘psycho-melodic’ approach (aka Psicomelodia). From 2010 I have taken part in a scientific team (view Soundwave), discovering very interesting data on the influence of soundwaves in haematic cortisol. From 2011 I have also developed applications that could help creative people to approach the culture of analog synthesis by basic and cheap digital experience (like pDd). From 2013 I live and work in Trieste with my special wife Goga Mason and the spirit of my loving cat Ninetto da Quintavalle.

        I co-founded the projects A.F.A. Sound System, Al-Gi Duo, Bob III & IIII, Insieme Denso, Kimikova, Krajobraz, KrisAles, Lunar Experience Group, Moving Sound Ensemble, TAI Trio, VAM Trio & Video Animazioni Vive. I played with Bashmantan, Lucio Bonaldo, Matteo Castro, Daniel Douglas, Gbur, Filippo Giuffrè, Igi Trio, Ivan Pilat, Improvvirusoundexperience meets William Parker, Jean Jean, Jooklo, Kongrosian & Olga Mathey. I played ‘for’ Shu Lea Chang, Yonel Castilla Serrano, Rebecca Marta DAndrea, Deltaprocess, Brice Desault, Stefano Giust, Adriano Jurissevich, Katatonik Sound System, Loredana Manfrè, Giorgia Minisini, Morphosis & Teatro Satanico. I ‘opened’ gigs of Colossamite, The Flying Luttenbachers, Laibach, Tony Light, Andrea Massaria, Cobol Pongide, Matija Schellander, Leonie Spitzer, Dj Spooky, Us Maple & Withehouse. Apart from DENSO, I published for Cleup, Garage Records, Libreria Primordia, Ressonus Records, Setola di Maiale, SottoMondo Edizioni & Worldisorder.
