Information: Sebastiano Dessanay is a double bassist and composer born in Cagliari, Sardinia. His music is highly informed by a strong sense of melody and attention to textural details. The double bass has often a prominent role in his research and elements of improvisation permeate his compositions. He started to play piano and cello when he was 11 and then turned to electric bass, playing with different rock and pop bands. Some years later, after having obtained a geology degree at Cagliari University, he started studying double bass and composition at Cagliari Conservatoire where he graduated in 2007. In November 2007 he moved to UK and in 2009 he has completed a Master in Music at Birmingham Conservatoire, where he has recently started a PhD in Composition.
