Our performances are the result of a combination of both improvised and composed music.

In 2003 we have been playing here and there all over Italy. Furthermore we record our CD "Instant Bul", composed for the Human Dance Company of New York for its performances in Istanbul (Turkey).
In 2004 we have performed as a trio with Bruno Morello on alto sax at Walker Parish Church in Newcastle upon Tyne (UK), at New York University and at Carnegie Hall Weill Recital Hall in New York City, at Stella Boyle Concert Hall in Little Rock (Arkansas), at Vincenzo Bellini Institute of Music in Catania for the Lyceum Association.
With "Drops and Silence - Guitar Compositions" we have closed the cycle open in 2001 with the CD "Drops and Silence - Guitar Improvisations".
