🎵 About Monobjo
I am Monobjo, pseudonym of Valerio Silvestri, a composer and sound artist blending classical, ambient, and electronic elements to create evocative music for film, theater, dance, and multimedia art.
I was a member of several bands in the mid 1990s and early 2000s Roman scene. Bassist in Montmartre and Ardesia, keyboardist in Morgana’s Kiss and Monoma. In 2013, i decided to pursue a solo career under the stage name Monobjo. My work is rooted in deep emotional resonance, esoteric symbolism, and a strong connection between sound and image.
