1988年にSub Rosaから発表されたCharles Hayward(ex.This Heat)とのスプリット作収録曲 "Clouds" が、Björkや、ベルリンのエレクトロニカ・ユニットTo Rococo Rot、日本のトラック・メイカーNujabesのサンプルネタとして知られるヴェネチアのコンポーザー/プロデューサーGigi Masin(ジジ・マシン)。1970年代前期にロック・グループで活動をはじめ、ラジオ局ではターンテーブルを使用したミックス(Marco Pandin曰く4台のターンテーブルによる古典/現代音楽のライブ・ミックス)によるブロードキャスト黎明期にDJの一人として参加。70年代後期には詩人/作家のMassimo Palladino(マッシモ・パラディーノ)と演劇やラジオドラマのベンチャーに着手し、ディレクターとしてサウンド・プロダクションに従事。その後、セルフプロデュースで発表されたソロアルバム「Wind」は、僅か300枚のプレスでプロモーション・オンリー(Discogsでは2012年3月度の最高値を記録)。希少盤ながら、Editions EGアンビエントからジャズ/エクスペリメンタル、Paul Buchanan/The Blue Nileにも通じる蒼い情感を滲ませたクワイエットなソングライティングは、多くの耳に届くべき普遍的な美しさがあります。

From 1978 he has been establishing a collaboration with poet/writer Massimo Palladino, a venture that had been permitting to carry out many and wonderefull pieces for theatre, television, radio broadcasting, where music and voice walk hand in hand, challenging and provoking themselves as well.
