Gabriele Lissia
For a long time, I'd been looking for a versatile, neutral, and top-level pair of microphones for my classical guitar recordings, in solo as in a duo with the flute. Now I've finally found in the OC818 and OC18 the perfect solution to all my needs.
Born in Prato, Italy, he began playing guitar at a very young age. Alongside studying acoustic and electric guitar, he refined his classical guitar skills through numerous weekly and annual masterclasses with renowned artists such as Luigi Attademo, Francisco Bernier, Matteo Mela, Enea Leone, Emanuele Buono, and Carlo Marchione, traveling across Italy, and Spain for his bachelor’s and master’s degrees, both of which he obtained with full marks and honors.
He has had the opportunity to play concerts and perform at artistic and cultural events in Italy, Spain and France, and has distinguished himself in several national and international competitions.
Since 2019, he has resided in Paris, where he currently holds the position of Classical Guitar Professor at the Conservatoire de Musique et Danse Maurice Ravel of Villemomble and at the Conservatoire Hector Berlioz of the 10th district of Paris.
He performs regularly both as a soloist, in several chamber music’s ensembles as well as a soloist with orchestra.
Gabriele Lissia plays classical guitars made by luthier Rinaldo Vacca.
Since 2023, he has been the frontman of the punk rock band “Greatland,” with whom he performs concerts and has recorded their latest album, Life Goes On, set for release in fall 2024.
He has used Austrian Audio microphones since 2019, particularly the OC818 and OC18 for guitar amps and vocals, and the OC707 and OD505 as his main vocal mics for live performances.
