Born in Naples in 1964 and began to get passionate about the guitar very early thanks to the classic Christmas gift from his parents and the passion for the music of the Beatles, the Platters and Edoardo Bennato. That object remained for some time a lifeless piece of furniture until some friends explained to him that a guitar had to be tuned and that, by simply pressing the fourth and fifth strings at the second fret, a chord called E minor would come out ... The repertoire di Bennato, apparently simple but capable of unpredictable harmonic openings, initiates him to the study - by self-taught - of chords and rhythm guitar and leads him to purchase the fantastic Eko Ranger XII, unfortunately then sold. In the seventies and eighties he continues the study of rock guitar fascinated by listening to Hendrix, Blackmore and Page, with quite frustrating results and with tons of tapes and 33 laps consumed. The release of Van Halen and, above all, the study of the Rush repertoire lead him to the first “serious” lessons and to the immediate understanding of what Andres Segovia said: “The guitar is an easy instrument to play badly”. In those years the parallel interest in lutherie, customizing and the study of all technologies related to the electric guitar increased. For about two years he worked at a historic Neapolitan luthier where he learned the technical rudiments related to the acoustic guitar and repairs in general. The passion for Pat Metheny, Larry Carlton, Brazilian music and acid jazz bring him closer to the study of jazz harmony even if in a discontinuous way due to work and family commitments. In this phase he makes use, even if for rather short periods, of the lessons and teachings of some fantastic Neapolitan musicians. Currently he plays steadily in a funk and acid jazz cover band and devotes his free time to studying the instrument.

Moreover, he does not forget his past as a classical guitarist, a passion that lasted five years and then reluctantly placed (for a little while) in the cellar for reasons of time. From this never dormant mix comes the desire to cooperate in the growth of the Age of Audio site, in the role of proofreader and author of the contributions for the Article 33 column.

Giancarlo Petroni is a sound expert, sound mixer and sound designer. He began his professional career in the music field and then specialized in film and audiovisual productions, in particular working as a sound re-recording mixer and dialogue editor. His first written work "Resonances, the supreme knowledge of sound", published in 2012 (Venexia Editrice), addresses the issue of the sound phenomenon not from the point of view of the sound technician profession, but above all as regards the aspects of order metaphysical. In this sense it is underlined how the science of sound and waves governs an infinite number of phenomena and processes, thus becoming a knowledge and a faculty of learning that is much deeper and more essential than is generally considered.
