Simone Santi Gubini (born June 13, 1980 in Marino) is an Italian composer and music theorist. He studied piano and composition with Valentino Di Bella and Edgar Alandia Canipa, acoustics and electronic music with Giorgio Nottoli and phonetics along with musical theory at the University of Rome, Tor Vergata. He continued his studies, deeping his knowledge of the ancient forms of Byzantine music and the 15th century technique of Vocal Counterpoint. He attended Master Classes with Tristan Murail, Brice Pauset (2005) and Helmut Lachenmann (2006). His musical growing up is largely self taught and influenced by several extra-academic experiences, as the meetings with the German composer Hans Werner Henze, who always espressed enthusiastics opinions about Santi Gubini’s works.
