Today I decided two things: that the sci-fi project will be an EP, and that its title will be Sopyu, that means "traveler" in the Na'vi language (the one created by Paul Frommer for Avatar). The first song will be Vega, an original song that I...
[audio flac="https://meeplemusic.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/deep.flac"][/audio] I've always been into sci-fi since I can remember. My father is a great fan of Isaac Asimov and he shared his passion with me (he did the same with music): we watched a lot of sci-fi movies and as I grew up this passion...
Hello everyone! This odd summer is about to end, and I'm here to talk about news and latest experiences. The exams went really great, I'm very happy about it. I began to work at a new project right after, and two new albums has been released: Iwari...
Hi everyone! It's been almost a month since my last post - this last few weeks have been hectic! I'm currently taking the final exams of the first year (3 left to go) and at the same time I received an astonishing job proposal: Breaking Games listened...

When my professor listened to the tunes I did he made a peculiar request about the developing. Do you remember the jazz trio inspired by the Wanderer? Well, he asked for an arrangement in a completely different style: he wanted it to be epic and...
In November the Film Scoring professor asked for some ideas linked to two different paintings: The Water Lilies by Claude Monet and the Wanderer above the Sea of Fog by Caspar David Friedrich. The two paintings are very inspiring, and I had a lot of different ideas:...
