Alberto Trevisan/Airwolf One, is a dedicated music-video producer, a live-studio performer and audio-video editor. In particular, he studied drums since the age of 13, in the field of composition, sequence programming and mixing. He actually scored down, as part of his early training, the entire drum part of album 'Appetite for Destruction' by Guns N' Roses Later on he started self-teaching keyboards, electric guitar, bass and vocals.(at different levels).

He began to play on heavy metal, hard rock, funk and techno. School related music scene in Florence, Italy, was great fun at the time. He got involved as a live-studio drummer and italian rap lyricist (favorite hobby during school classes). Mainwhile, he acquired two degrees in: modern music, based on the Musicians Institute, LA (Performance and Industry program). 'Modern Academy(Firenze)' Jazz music at the 'Accademia Musicale di Firenze'

Busy and passionate, nevertheless soon, Alberto had to face the impossibility to find a fertile ground for some further artistic development. "Time to look at international destinations" was the guess...

He left the cozy but conservative italian city in 1999, searching for some new and real musical air to breath. One year in Paris, for acquiring his third degree in Jazz and Contemporary Music at the acclaimed INFIMM/CIM in the district of Mont Martre, was a worthy choice.

He eventually topped in the rhythmic scoring class (20/20), while attending school full time 36 hours per week, plus the jam sessions and extra curricula. While learning French, very competitive context.

The french experience was full immersion into beats, vibes, sounds, advanced techniques and experimentations. "Yeah, we had public delirium at the Sunset Club during our drum&bass 'Jungle 5' performance" (A.T.)
Hard work and fun time.

But also the people "friends of venture", like Modeste on bass, Gianluigi on percussions, Jackson on alto sax, Livay on piano...
"Great team-playing for the music benefit ".

Worth of note: the challenge of sight-scoring while playing drums in a latin-swing big band (directed by cuban trumpetist Ernesto "Tito" Puentes), while experimenting live drum & bass as side project (which eventually became the main one), followed by album release "Modeste-Cyber Sapiens" - Atoll Music.

Back from 3 seasons in Paris, Alberto spent the following 3 seasons back in Florence, for trying to put together the highly needed project studio. For so long wished, now it needed the right location, for the consequent inspiration: London was the next logical step. Effort taken, he moved the whole thing and eventually spent more than three years (2001-early 2005) finding work in high end recording studios as a sound engineer and music producer, trying to absorb as much experience as possible.

"the secret tips, tricks and tweaks for the perfect mix" (A.T.)

The London underground jam sessions continued booming of drum n' bass luva as Modeste visited from Paris. Drum n' bass sessions continued with Tilo on bass, also from France: the resulting 20 minutes 170 bpms live performance was recorded, but never released though. (yet...)

In 2003 Alberto participated with first round success at the "JumpOff - Producer Battle - Sound, London" [FOTO]. Composition of a song made of three parts in 5 minutes in front of a 90% black crowd from the hip-hop and r&b scene. "...it was really cool to be cheered by them!"

Despite the few side projects and participations, at that time A.T. was mainly cooperating in London with Valerio Recenti for the project "Tequila Suicide". Up to 16 tracks were written and produced with additional live recordings in Italy. Very nice desk by the way, original Neve sound! Nevertheless the resulting material never got released (maybe one day...)

Alberto also had the chance to co-produce for a few months with some members of the bands Culture Club [FOTO] and Imagination, in London.

But unfortunately, London appeared season after season to be a lovely but chronically saturated city. Ironically, those were the starting years of the music business global crisis (mainly caused by the digitalization, piracy and sale drops), record labels and studios where struggling and closing down one after the other. In this matter Alberto managed to ride a few good waves in the sea of a rasing cost-cutting market.

But the crisis didn't spare almost anybody, he temporarily found work for a Japanese video game company as a game tester and bug reporter. He also got busy in a series of pretty boring market research positions, conducted in different languages.

"Wir fahren nach Berlin"- February 2005. It felt good from the very first day, even though temperature was minus 20 degrees celsius, sucked in a dense snow storm. It was wild and tense but surprisingly quiet and cool.
Very different energy from the previously visited capital cities.
Poetry and raw reality. Dreams and courage, especially when it comes to keep traveling, finding and leaving great people, looking for something, driven, far away from your family, while trying to overcome difficulties and to keep up with the focus on personal goals. What to do: "Groove on! Keep rocki'n! New challenge, the way is as long as your life, so enjoy it!"

Alberto kept working in the German capital as a multi-task producer for clients such as: Universal Music Publishing, Allianz AG [VIDEO], Nivea, MTV Germany, Black Eyed Peas (Will I Am) [FOTO] , Phoenix...

Another side project and time for shooting a music-video, called "Unland". For the match-time project "newmixage".

End of 2006, Alberto won the "Johnny-Wildfire" remix competition under the provisory name of "A-I-R-W-O-L-F" (which later on became "Airwolf One") hosted by Aftershock Promotions (UK).

In 2007 he dedicated most of his time and energy on the Airwolf One´s debut album `Brake or Accelerate´, released in mid 2008. (available on iTunes)

The following year his track `Touch the Core of the Beat´ was hosted by Aftershock Promotions for the Airwolf One remix competition, resulting in a 5 track EP `Touch the Core of the Beat - Remix Competition´. (available on iTunes)

In 2009 A.T. officially started producing music-videos, thanks to a sponsorship received from ARRI Group and the great support of Rodeo Club and Showcase Potsdam. In addition to composing the music, he put together a team of 25 willing professionals and produced, coordinated, performed and co-edited `Choose to Love´music-video project . This combined challenge inevitably allowed him to grow as a music-video producer. [VIDEO-Final Version 3] [GALLERY]

In 2009 and 2010 respectively, the track `Choose to Love´ was nominated as Best International Act and Best Tour Dates video at the Exposure Music Awards (UK) and entered the UKs unsigned TOP40 chart. Pos.27 and Pos.12

His interest and inspiration for music applied to the concept of fashion, took him to compose a second unconventional album named `Fashion Rocks!´, released on July 2010.

End of 2010, A.T. decided to set his personal green screen studio facility and produced, directed, filmed, performed and edited the `Electrifying Fight´ [VIDEO], featuring the fine imagery of Cheri Freund.

Sorry, nothing against, but I'm not affiliated with Airwolf, the helicopter.

Air=the ideal medium for sound execution but also a symbol for artistic freedom, purity and boundless elegance.
wolf=the feeling comes before the reason, instinctive power proper of a creative animal. In fact prehistoric man drummed before speaking.
One="all in one performer" but also One as no.1, the ideal goal and symbol of artistic satisfaction.
