Also this work had ║ │ │║ good reviews ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ After performing this two demos through all the ║ │ │║ local clubs with my band OTHERWAYS, in 1990 I ║ │ │║ completeed my 3rd demo project, called HOLDING ║ │ │║ THE SUN OF MY LIFE , a step ahead in ║ │ │║ experimenting classical stuffs into heavy music. ║ │ │║ Also this work had good press responses ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ In 1991 I left the classic influences, ║ │ │║ experimenting a more progressive style and ║ │ │║ developing my 4th guitar demo called THE WHEEL ║ │ │║ OF EMOTIONS , also this reviewed form the ║ │ │║ section Guitar Hero of HM as s point of ║ │ │║ referement for italian instrumental music. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ In that period I formed a new prog metal band ║ │ │║ called EXARULE. We played live for a while in ║ │ │║ various local concerts and record a demo project ║ │ │║ called AS A RULE. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ In 1992 I recorded another demo called LOVING ║ │ │║ THE HUMAN RACE , that was very near to the sound ║ │ │║ of fist album VIEWPOINT, a combination of ║ │ │║ progressive concepts with a more straight and ║ │ │║ riffy rock sound. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ In 1993 I won the 1993 Artist Without frontiers ║ │ │║ Best guitar player . A contest in ROME with 150 ║ │ │║ guitar players from all the nation, judged by ║ │ │║ many of the main giournalist and professional ║ │ │║ musicians of the sector. ║ │ │║ I won a payed stage for attending GIT lessons in ║ │ │║ Los Angeles. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ In 1994 I won the European Musician Home ║ │ │║ Recording contest and the magazine included a ║ │ │║ first home recorded version of his song 'NO ║ │ │║ RESULT ' in a compilation cd with all the ║ │ │║ winners. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Also in 1994 I starts to learn drums and played ║ │ │║ it with the band RING ROAD, a Dream ║ │ │║ Theater/Racer X cover band that performed in the ║ │ │║ local scene for 1 year. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ After having completed the demo songs of ║ │ │║ VIEWPOINT album in 1995 I got back to Los ║ │ │║ Angeles to selfproduce it with Joey Vera (ex ║ │ │║ armored saints, now fates warning) and Ricky ║ │ │║ Wolking(jennifer batten group) at the bass and ║ │ │║ Julio Mathis II at the drum. 'Nearly Gold ║ │ │║ Emotions' was the original title and here's the ║ │ │║ demo tape cover. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Also in 1995 I rediscoverd the keys starting to ║ │ │║ work with the young band EMPTY TREMOR .I reached ║ │ │║ a deal with this prog metal project with Rising ║ │ │║ Sun(europe) and Fandango(japan).The official ║ │ │║ first debut album 'Apocolokyntosys' release was ║ │ │║ in spring 1997. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ VIEWPOINT guitar solo album has been finally ║ │ │║ released from Virtuoso Records in May 1999. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ In summer 1998 I met the incredible new talent ║ │ │║ Dario Ciccioni and started to create some music ║ │ │║ with him. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ In Summer 1999 I recorded the 'Daily Trauma' ║ │ │║ instrumental album that has still to be ║ │ │║ released.
