Simone Cardini - Composer
With my friend and colleague Umberto Di Nucci we've started an open research dialogue between composer and performer perspectives on electric guitar techniques.
This isn't about definitive answers or comprehensive taxonomy—it's about sharing a growing glossary of ideas that anyone interested can combine, recombine, and use to open new compositional perspectives or transform technical problems into creative resources.
This is just a glimpse. Full video coming soon on my YouTube channel.

Chapter VII: An Experiment in Liminality - Our Shared Improvisational (to) Compositional Journey
An experiment in liminality. This reel explores the space between sound and silence, chaos and calm. It’s the final piece of our improvised session, a conclusion that doesn't resolve but opens new doors. We’ve broken traditions and created new gestures. Now, I'm taking everything we’ve learned from this raw process and begin to compose. Thank you for following this journey. The Seaboard acted both as sampler and shaper; acoustic gestures were refracted and held in those liminal seams.
All improvised: no parts written, only attention, risk and response.
The first shared chapter is closed, but the story is just beginning. What are your final thoughts on this sound exploration?

It’s kind of a strange feeling when your studio slowly stops looking like random gear and starts behaving like an instrument for your PhD project, just a few pieces missing...

Last night, the streets of Madrid found new routes.
I re-imagined Boccherini’s "Musica notturna delle strade di Madrid" for cello, classical guitar and string quintet to navigate the original material as if scrolling through it.
A fragmented, interrupted feed, where the original melodies collide with the visceral suggestions of flamenco and the textures of the present.
"A night in Madrid. Rewired" is a nocturnal navigation: an invitation to lateral listening, where memory and invention blur into unstable architectures and open unexpected passageways.
Huge thanks to all the musicians for bringing it into being, to Opera InCanto for believing in this collision, and to for the cover image you’re seeing here.

The journey deepens! Thrilled to share that I'm now fully immersed in my PhD program in Milan, which began last December. This incredible opportunity continues to allow me to delve even deeper into my musical explorations, opening up exciting new avenues for my work. Looking forward to sharing these developments with you all soon!
PS: found a photographer amidst endless castle steps! Huge thanks to for capturing this moment.
