FILIPPO RIPAMONTI
Composer
Composer/producer based between Milan and the Lakes area, he began studying music from the age of six through the study of the guitar. Filippo began his academic research with piano and percussion, obtaining a laurea degree in Music for Images.
This legacy as a multi-instrumentalist gave him the right tools for composition. In 2017 he began studying composition for multimedia, cinema and television. He has always shown a great curiosity for hybrid sounds: from ethnic and classical music to concrete and synthetic music.
Filippo has always been part of the live scene, which ranges from teenage prog-metal bands to classical timpani orchestras, to live electronic music and DJing. The main focus of his research is music for multimedia, the search for new sounds and the combination of musical forms.
