The music

Banana Joker began his career with "Emisfero Boreale" playing and composing the typical jazz-rock of the seventies with a particular regard and view to the Canterbury Rock of Gong, Caravan, Hatfield and the North, etc……
Then he worked with "Emisfero Boreale" on the symphonic and electronic rock to wink at artist as Mike Oldfield, Enigma and Jean Michelle Jarre.

As soloist he oriented himself to world music, new age and movies soundtracks and in this last period to the chill-out music.

In his long career he searched and developed a real personal way to do his music and he succeeded in creating a really personal style that is really appreciated especially by others musicians, artists and critics.
At the same time he developed a simple but very particular technique to play 12 strings acoustic guitar.
In the last years he also composed pop music and songs for several artists in Italy and in Australia.

He is now oriented to electronic and orchestral compositions characterised by personal and atypical atmospheres.

Discreet and shy he has always preferred to work with some friends and artists in studio and in the backstage. Notherword he did a lot of live concerts with "Emisfero Boreale". His friends are all great artists with different music experiences among them we can find William Marino, Claudio Parente, Chus Fernandez and others.

He is a person of great sensibility and his music is telling us about his looking at children conditions and social world problems; the song "Un Diamante è per sempre" (from the CD "2001") it is a real exemple of his feelings about problems caused by the war in Angola.

He has been following the English self producing and self organising of "The Enid" and the "Stand" for years: both are considered by Banana Joker the good example to refer when you want to self produce andf to produce new young artists.
