He also followed courses, lectures and workshops by H. Lachenmann, E. Brusa, G. Manca, A. Smirnov, G. Giuliano, J. Casken and J. Weir. He composed music for ensemble, multimedia, festivals, theatre and short movies winner of international awards. His compositions and soundtracks won national and international composition prizes, and were executed and broadcasted in Italy, France, Spain, Lithuania, Scotland, Germany and Australia by international performers and orchestras (the Lithuanian National Symphony Orchestra, Orchestra Verdi di Milano, string quartet of the BBC SSO, Duo46, Concordia C(h)ordis, Giulio Tampalini, Antonella Gianese, Barrie Webb, Duo Bonfanti, ... ). Multimedia and short movies with his soundtracks have been played in dozens of galleries around Europe (ARCO - Madrid, Galleria Permanente - Milano, … ), and the italian radio channel "Radio CLASSica" broadcasted a monographical program dealing with him.
