My BIO

FRANCO FALISTOCO A.

— statement —

I assumed from a very young age that my body is a communication system. I was always curious about the physical scheme of communication.

The small radios, the old transistor radios, the Noblex 7 Mares or the ones integrated in the record players of the old “combinados”. Until I met a studio. At 13 I became a radio operator and at 15 I received my first formal salary. The curiosity of the moment remains strong, being the sounds that I can make arrive through the technical system to others, music, voices, effects, silence. All the wiring of connections between equipment until the final recipient.

In the course of my life the attention became more specific and led me to record and edit in all the formats that I had at my disposal, transferring that curiosity and pleasure when choosing the right tools to make a good record, then edit it and arrange it so, to the communication system, with the same passion and curiosity. Because I believe in continuous improvement through feedback, sharing my learning, this process became the path of teaching.
