Roberto is one of the most inspirational figures in my musical instrument making practice. His research into turbulent and chaotic sounding instruments is the most in depth of any researcher that I know of. He is one of only a few that has invested a serious interest in instruments that are not focused on being harmonically pure and consonant. I took this musical style to heard when I read about it, realizing there is a whole world of timbre that is unavailable if one is trying to remove chaos from sound.
