ANDREA PRIORA is a keyboard player, music composer and producer from Italy.
Born and raised in Milan, the biggest city in the north of his country, after high school he went to the University to study biology and it was during this period that he started his interest in synthesizers and in making music with them.
Being already grown with '80s songs and electronic music in his ears, Andrea was in particular enchanted by synthetizers sounds and so this guided him into merging together electronic sounds and acoustic ones.
With a combination of deep and vibrant melodies, acoustic and synth sounds, powerful rhythms and "mind voyaging" soundscapes he tries to transform his sensations, emotions and dreams into music of various genres: Nu-Ambient, New Age, Electronica, Soundtrack, Dream and Trance.
Andrea had also some success over MP3.com for a couple of years, reaching first places in some charts during the golden years of that site, some hundred thousands of downloads, selling his music all over the world (even in the exact opposite of earth) and earning lot of true fans happy of discovering and listening to his music. He even influenced some new musicians too.
Not bond to one style only, Andrea isn't tipically mainstream, trying to build something deep in music that goes beyond the fashion of the moment.
Perhaps his music isn't at all what you can call an "easy listening", but most of people who listen to his music told they have like the sensation of being able to "touch" his music, due to his emotional approach.
He has his personal distinctive sound and touch: his main influences can be found among big names of classic electronic music and movie score makers. Now he is moving a lot along the way of soundtracks, merging orchestral sound with his electronic and acoustic mix.
Beside music other artistic passions flow inside Andrea, as doing computer graphics, as writing sci-fi stories, as practicing chinese martial arts, tao ying, meditation and qi gong, as well becoming a professional shiatsu massage operator.

Since '98 he made 6 full albums: Destiny, Beyond My Ice, Trance Flares, Neuromantic Visions, Fairy Dazzles, Flares Beyond My Vision with two new album coming out in June and in autumn 2008.
He did one too with H3O REAKTOR music team.

H3O REAKTOR
Who are they, you ask? H3O Reaktor is the dance project Andrea formed with DJ Nino Cordisco, some years ago. Then also Viviana Stoppa joined the two male composers to cover the role of vocalist and words co-writer. All their tracks are mainly Dance, Trance, Dream, and are mostly very melodic, featuring raffinated sound, driving fast rhythm, delicate and sensual voice in most songs.
The sound of this musical project is not oriented to follow fashions of the moment at all costs: the choice was to try having a personal sound and be themselves, doing what team members like most.
They have done 1 full album till now:  "Emotional Reaction".
You can find it too on EAR.
