Description

I'm a musician, producer, music teacher and event organiser looking for a peaceful place with a good vibe where I can get away from my usual life and have some new, enriching experiences.

I grew up in Buenos Aires in a family with Italian and Spanish roots. I moved to Berlin in 2011 and lived there until 2023, when I moved to a finca in the Alpujarran Valley in Spain, where I lived for several months. Now I live in the German/Polish city Görlitz-Zgorzelec, but I'm currently feeling a wind of change which might lead me to a smaller town or the countryside. I want to explore different ways of life. A couple of years ago, I became interested in everything related to life in the nature and eco-villages.

I want to visit Italy and maybe establish there, since I have Italian nationality, but somehow it never worked out and I end up in Spain often instead.

Whenever I get the chance, I help out on farms or in communities. Last year, I helped out at an organic farm near my home, doing tasks such as preparing and maintaining soil and beds, loosening the soil manually, adding and spreading compost and fertiliser, and planting vegetables such as tomatoes, carrots, pumpkins, lettuce, spinach and beetroot. A couple of years ago, I helped to build a bamboo structure and an irrigation system for a garden at the Ritmo da Terra community in Portugal. I also harvested fruit at a finca where I lived for several months in Spain, and vegetables at an organic farm in Argentina, among other small volunteering experiences.

What else ...

Besides music, I'm into swimming, rowing, massage, yoga, meditation, mindfulness and the teachings of Mooji. All of that much better when done in nature for me.

I would describe myself as tidy, respectful, mindful, good vibe, laid-back, hard working and sociable -but perhaps not early in the mornings. I need to start the day slowly and quietly, although if there's work to be done right away I can do it. There were times when I was starting to teach bass at 8 am, meaning I had to start getting my studio ready at 7:30 and it was working pretty well, but don't expect a good conversation or me being specially fast with new tasks that early.

At the moment I'm also scouting for a little piece of land or house I could buy and working on the publishing of some music I have ready to be released. I also would like to produce some videos in nature making music and showing stuff about music theory. So, even though I want to reduce as much as possible my phone and computer usage I might still want to work toward these goals in my free time the following weeks and therefore still need a good internet connection.
