Alessandro—stage name Phephra. I'm a Milan based visual designer, illustrator, music composer, producer and compulsive collector of vintage Japanese pop records.
I completed my MA Degree in Communication Design at Politecnico di Milano with a thesis about the linguistic paradigms of video game music. In 2022 I self-released my first EP Insulated Works. In 2023 I founded the independent video game collective Villa Delfina with my friend and fellow visual artist Nicolò Marchetti, taking care of the soundtrack and sound design of the games.
I'm currently working full time as a Visual Designer in 150UP and as adjunct professor in the Media Design department at IED Milano.
