Marco Billi (Jarguna) has been drawn to experimental music since the 1980s. In the early ’90s he began exploring it more seriously, first by buying a bass guitar and, in 1994, bringing home his first synthesizer—a Korg M1. He went on to study electronic synthesis, sound engineering, and sequencer management. Over time he expanded his collection of instruments, adding a Yamaha TG500, a Roland S-330 sampler, a DX7, and a D-50, allowing him to work with both subtractive synthesis and frequency-modulation algorithms. Jarguna immersed himself in crafting drones and pads, customizing synth presets and experimenting with sound design. He began making his first recordings and performances using an Atari 1040 and DAT. His early, unreleased albums included Archetypes and In the Womb of Gaia. After 2001, he shifted to working primarily with audio tracks in sequencers, expanding both his skills and his toolkit. The work became more serious—still play, but a deeper kind of play. A transformative trip to the Amazon, and his experience with a curandero, inspired him to capture his impressions in an album he titled Introspective Course, which he described as a kind of “sound diary.” His relationship with music and the environment continues to shape the soul of Jarguna. On his travels he always carries field-recording equipment, and those recordings have become a constant presence in his later albums, blending the excitement of the outdoors with the controlled creativity of the studio.
