Absolutely new to Electronic Music production, since the summer of 2024 Falcon has released two EPs that blend the sounds of Progressive, Techno and Trance. He’s been collaborating with international artists such as Kara (Turkey) and Soulti (Australia) creating remixes/reinterpretations of their original tracks. While a large part of his DJ sets are not planned, he intends to develop live acts over time that are completely improvised on stage.

Whether it is electroscape, techno, hip-hop or raggaeton I create pieces, remix tracks and perform live sets made to dance or simply to be appreciated as a painted adventure.

Another side of my creative self is Capoeira. I started learning it in 2000 under Mestre Branco and created my own group in 2007.
From traditional to contemporary styles I explore the various facets of the Capoeira dice and like shifting from one to another. I am one of the teachers of Auroville Capoeira.

I also have a passion for making instruments such as didjeridoo, berimbau, pandeiro, reco-reco and others.

I make music as a way of personal growth and a means to express myself creatively. Music nourishes me and I believe that I have something I can give to others through it. I sing and play flute and guitar in whatever way I choose (and singing and guitar come together many times): It is a joy for me. I started the flute practice with the recorder, then the Western transversal flute and nowadays I’m very interested in playing the bansuri. I make my own music but also like to play classical (Western and Indian) and other kinds of music
