Musical Background

(April, 2023) I’m Ferdinando Montecuollo and I’m 51 years old. I live in Caserta (Italy) and work as Chief Information Officer of an Italian University, but music is my great passion and I love playing organ and keyboards in almost all my free time.

As a boy, I studied music and piano for about 6 years and my great regret is not having attended the Conservatory in order to better express my little musical talent.

I play organ in church since I was 12 and I also played accordion for several years, within the folk group of my town, Cellole, in the province of Caserta (Italy).

When I was 26, I moved to Siena, where I was organist in the University Chapel choir; in 2006 I moved to Caserta, where I was organist in the “St. Anthony” church until 2013. Since 2013 I am proud to be the organist of the beautiful “Harmonia Mundi” choir and since 2022 I do organ service at the “Our Lady of Lourdes” church in Caserta.

I had many experiences with organ, synthesizers and arranger keyboards since I was a boy: I owned Yamaha DX7 II, Roland E86, Roland XP30, Korg PA800, Yamaha PSR S770, Yamaha PSR-sx700, Dexibell Classico L3 and Korg Nautilus.

My current setup consists of:

• a Yamaha PSR-sx 700 arranger;
• a Korg Nautilus workstation;
• a Dexibell Vivo SX8 sound module.

For many years I have mainly played organ music, but recently I have rediscovered the pleasure of playing pieces from other musical genres as well. So I opened a YouTube channel, where I publish many covers and pieces of various musical genres, providing also some suggestions on how to execute those pieces using my musical setup or a similar one.

I enjoy finding the right mix of sounds and effects for each piece of music I play: I hope you will appreciate this and enjoy my music. Thank you for listening.
