Evolution (Sep 15, 2008) is my first album. The recording sessions lasted from March to August 2008. I worked on this record during the breaks from touring with my band Arcadia. My 2nd solo album is called Codex Magika and was produced on Sep 18, 2012. The Codex Videos was released on Sep 18, 2013. Watch some clips here. The Art of Complications is out since Jan 10, 2016. The next album, The Silent Watcher, was released on Nov 4, 2018. My latest album, « V », is out since Apr 10, 2022.
Despite this crazy year 2020 that we're experiencing, we managed to build a new model of my signature 8 string guitar. Here is a video which shows the new model and its specs and features. The guitar shows huge improvements in sound and playability.
Some of the new features are:
- Last 4 frets are now scalloped in order to grab the strings for crazy bendings as I am used to.
- Incredibly thin neck which improves the grip and helps playing technically challenging phrases and licks.
- 2 Truss rod which help the neck to be more stable and improved the sound and sustain as a secondary result.
- The Hipshot Extenders are working extremely smooth letting you drop the tuning on the spot with just 1 click (both on the 7th and 8th string).
I'll do a live stream asap to show all those details, enjoy this demo first.
The guitar has been designed by me and Alessandro Tardivo and produced by the chinese company Sunsmile Musical Instruments.

Sorry for the lackness of updates here, however if you follow me on the social media you are very good updated about my music "journey". Long story short.
I have been to China twice last winter and the US (Namm) and Germany (Guitar Summit).
As some of you might know I am working on my new solo album. I've just released the single "Elan Vital". Listen on all the Music Streaming Services and check out the official videoclip.
The new album will be released in the fall of 2025 by FusionCore Records. Title, cover and release date will be out soon.
