Il Guardiano Del Faro / OASIS

Born 1940 in Milan, Federico Mon Arduini was a child prodigy who studied piano and was already performing at concerts from the age of eight. He composed pop songs for other ar sts which sold millions of copies, but his own solo success came a er he encountered synthesizers in the early 70s.
Viewed as a precursor of New Age sound art, Arduini was one of the first producers in Italy to use the Moog synthesizer and a mee ng with Bob Moog in New York only added to this obsession.
