About Me |
|
| Simone Agostini was born in Rome on May 12, 1981. When he was 10, he took his first steps into the music world starting with the classic guitar study. For several years he continued the classical studies, until he met the pescarese guitar player Paolo Giordano. Thanks to him, Simone discovered the acoustic guitar world and opened his mind toward it. Getting in these new instruments sounds and techniques, he performs several times on original compositions as well as on famous guitar players covers of guitartists like Michael Hedges, Alex De Grassi e Will Ackerman. Important performances must be mentioned: Acousticway 2001 and 2007, the openings of the Paolo Giordano and Michael Manring concerts, Frentanacustica 2006. In 2005 he wrote music for TV spot "Un Buco nel Muro" where F.Totti, P.Maldini and A.Preziosi were testimonials. On May 2005, on the occasion of the Sarzana 8th Acoustic Guitar International Meeting, Simone wins the second award of one of the most important Italian competition, the New Sound of Acoustic Music (Wilder-Davoli Prize). In 2006 he wrote the soundtrack for short film "Radici" (Capri Film Festival 2007 finalist, Trabocco 2007 Prize). In 2008 he is the guitar winner of Emergenza Acosutic Showcase's European Final (Award 2007-08). On April 2008 Simone took degree in Geological Science with honours. On May 2008 he took part in Pierre Bensusan's residential seminar. Now he is working on his frist album. | |
