Luca Robba aka Mescalinaeden is a composer and drummer from Italy based in London. Having been into experimental music for a long time, he enjoyed discovering new artists and ideas from all over the world at LCC, where he specialised in phonography, electro-acoustic composition and field recordings.

Being a mature student, his biggest achievement was getting a degree at the age of 34.

"My favourite project was called 'A Sense of Place'. I had to describe through sound a place and the meaning of the place," he recalls. "I recorded the Underground in London as it was, giving a cinematic sense to sound and then putting it together with my music."

"You can use the knowledge and skills attained in this course in various areas, such as music production and sound design for TV, theatres and cinema, or in your own music," he says. "I'm an electro-acoustic composer, I've produced a few singles and I collaborate with many artists. At present I want to sound different, I want to experiment with myself in order to develop new fresh sounds. And yes, this course helped me to find new inspirations and ideas in my life."

Luca is currently involved in two music projects - one in London with LCC's Laptop Orchestra and another playing drums and electronics for Italian band Petrolio.
