| Introduction | Hi! My name is Paolo Fiore and I am an Italian scholar who writes, speaks and does research on a variety of topics concerning music. I am also a musician who makes electronic music, and I run both a project studio and a netlabel. I am the author of several articles for various cultural publications and I'm currently working on my first book. Furthermore, I am even a fine art connoisseur and an (amateur) digital painter. PaoloFiores.BlogSpot.com is my main blog. Featuring a mixture of short essays on my research and related topics, records of my life experiences and ongoing projects, links to my other online activities, and other random content. I try to incorporate my passions and influences into my posts as best as I can. I write and edit everything myself (unless otherwise noted). This will be a work-in-progress and will develop as things progress. Constructive engagement is very welcome! |
