"Sensitive dub è il primo nome che ho usato quando ho cominciato ad occuparmi di musica,
l ho tenuto nel progetto SBL.
Nella vita mi occupo arti visive, amo gli elementi non creati dall'uomo e le catastrofi naturali.
Da qualche tempo oltre il progetto SBL, ho cominciato un altra ricerca sonora,legata ai miei lavori visivi
chiamata "Progetto Abitare", una specie di diario dove raccolgo registrazioni dagli ambienti in cui sto, e i miei stati d animo del momento."

Through different projects, Sensitive Dub, is mainly concerned with art activities but, nonetheless, take also the time to live in Cagliari.
