Simone Bottasso

Musician, composer and conductor, I blend my traditional roots with as many genres as possible. My omnivorous interest in music and the use of imagination in creating sound is constantly driving me in creating music that must surprise myself first. I like working on the edge of collapsing of different art languages. Trying to understand each other; finding a way to coexist, melting or juxtaposing their harshness. I began playing the diatonic accordion studying Occitan and French traditional folk music with Silvio Peron, Norbert Pignol, Stephane Milleret; I studied classical and jazz flute at Conservatorio G.Verdi di Torino, then contemporary and electronic composition in CODARTS (Rotterdam, Netherlands).
