This web site is organized into four main sections. One is dedicated to abstract pen and ink drawing developed since the late 1970s, starting from spontaneous signs traced on paper. Another part is dedicated to kiln-fired clay sculpture. In 1994 I began moulding terracotta heads using various kinds of clay, each type characterised by a different colour and consistency. The third section is about music and presents the mbirafon hand-made musical instrument. Mbirafon is a modern, tunable variant of the well known African plucked idiophone (lamellophone), widespread in the south Saharan areas. The fourth section presents a series of compact discs featuring blues field recordings I have collected in the United States from 1972 to 1982. Drawings, sculptures and compact discs can be easily purchased on line through PayPal.
