    Artist History
    I was born on September the 13th, 1965 in San Isidro, at the skirts of Buenos Aires.  My father was Italian, from the Mediterranean Sea and my mother an Argentinean mate drinker. My interest in music became clear since I was very little. There was a "Pleyel" piano leaned  against the wall at home. I used to spend hours playing it, However, I also used to play with  the piano rotary chair as driving a truck. Since I was seven till I was eleven I had different piano professors, ladies with sumptuous haircuts.  One of them disliked me improvising on the piano in my spare time, but I always deceived her.  I just like improvising. My parents gave me "Siel" organ that was placed against another wall of the living room. It was a rudimentary model, but this fact did not impel my playing  it at all times. When I got to my 20´s, I wanted to improve my technique on the piano and my pentagram reading. Old Beltrán, from the neighbourhood´s music shop, introduced me  Patricio Migliazzo. He was seven years older than I tall,  with long half-grey hair and was to become my teacher and, already,  an audacious experimental composer. I studied piano for three more years With Migliazzo. He prepared me for the final exam to get my degree as a Music Superior Professor from the Galvani Conservatory,  at San Telmo’s port neighbourhood, Buenos Aires Where I could not avert Solfeggios and playing  a bit nervous a Clementi´s sonata at the piano’s hall room. My professors prized it with a  piece of cartoon on December the 18th of 1988. I also took guitar classes with another long hairy, skinny, and very cool gay, Mario Nielsen.  He taught me what I was interested at: instruments basic aspects, which motivated me to write  simple compositions in a rather baroque style. By that time I used to listen to what Wendy Carlos was doing with Bach, old music, Vangelis,  Mike Oldfield, Peter Gabriel, symphonic rock and some other things. It was then when I felt  attracted by the programming of synthesizers and samplers; MIDI and some audio aspects. With time, I created my own studios at home. I experimented with what I had and accompanied  by good friends. At the beginning of the 90´s, I studied programming sampler and synthesizer, MIDI and some  audio aspects with Jorge Haro. Later on I took a course in Arte11. It was on music composition applied to theatre, cinema, ballet and audio visual media. Given by professor Luis María Serra. In 1991, I composed my first album "Sons of the Light" which I Finally recorded at my  studios with Jorge Haro’s technique collaboration.The same year, in August, due to the 'Snow National Festival', It was presented in a concert  at the base of Cerro Catedral, Bariloche, where I shared stage with Lito Vitale Quinteto,  as in other occasions. "Sons of the Light" was later edited by EPSA Music and distributed in Argentina and  some others South American countries. With time, I searched for new sounds and experimented with every electronic bug that could  have been plugged. I composed "The New Kingdom" in 1995.   I enjoyed it plenty, though I remember its recording proved to be quite hard at Macondo studios.  It was better that way: one learns and has fun. Three years later, I created ad21music, an independent studio. I edited a new piece of work,  "Solemnis" and, simultaneously, my two previous productions. On June 2000, ad21music launches my fourth album, "Suite Patagonia". A tribute in which I also  used autochthonous instruments, aborigines chants and sounds from the southern fauna. I believe I have always been exposed to a great variety of musical influences,  especially since I decided to live in Barcelona where I started a closed artistic  collaboration with the Spanish musician Max Corbacho.  Since 2001, Ventilador-Music Company distributes my albums in Spain; Musea,  in France and the rest of Europe; and Backroadsmusic in the United States.   Max Corbacho joined in the initiative ad21music in 2003.  I will launch a new album in July 2003, “ Visualiaâ€. It is an intimate piece of work where each composition correspond with one of the American artist Janet Parke’s images.

    Press Reviews
    Suite Patagonia is the Argentinean composer’s masterpiece Rafa Dorado (Revista Margen, Spain).... This is certainly the best Symphonic Prog album I ever heard since long ! Bruno Sanfilippo is the Argentinean Mike Oldfield ! With a difference: he plays keyboard. An intelligent and personal concept album ! Edit. Acid Dragon #33 (France).... Suite Patagonia is a fine example of the compositional skills of Sanfilippo. Get that Grammy ready as this guy truly deserves it! John Bollenberg ( ProgressiveWorld Magazine, USA).... Few bands were as successful at drawing the listener into landscapes and social behaviour as Jade warrior and it is a tribute to the skill of Bruno Sanfilippo Richard Barnes (Wondrous Stories Magazine, UK).... A great alternative for people who lost their faith in Mike Oldfield! Carsten (Background Magazine, Holland).... Una banda sonora sin película que consigue evocar todo tipo de imágenes en la mente de quién lo escucha. Inevitables referencias a Vangelis, M.Oldfield o E. Morricone, pero con incomparable fuerza y riqueza. José M. Duque Revista Future Music - Spain....
