His first encounters with music were in an abandoned bus on the outskirts of northern Sardinia.... He then learned the rudiments of guitar playing from his father. Although "Aspiring to a command post in the merchant marine" at La Maddalena Nautical Istitute, he decided to abandon that career and moved to Bologna in 1989. Within the walls of an occupied university, he began playing with the Laboratorio di Musica & Immagine and a handful of musicians who sarted experimenting with music and the experiment, which over the years has included musicians from many different backgrounds, continues to this day. From 1990 to 1997 he performed with Laboratorio di Musica & Immagine in many 'innovative' music festivals (MIMI S.Martin de Croix, Oreille en pointes S.Etienne, Unlimited Wells, Blasnost Frontal, Babylon, Podewill Berlin, Steim Amsterdam ecc.), he released three Cds and has worked with the anglo-australian musician Jon Rose (Paolo also played in the Italian project Budget Shopping and Techno mit Stoerungen). In later years, the some group gave birth to many new "blossoms": Trabant, a small acrobatic orchestra that alternately performed folk dance music and played for stage productions (Arena fetival Erlangen); Mistress, a chamber sextet performing pieces by Stefano Zorzanello; Angeli-Zorzanello duo usually performing in improvised music context, open to join other musicians for collaborations. During this same period, Paolo Angeli began playing the tuba with the Banda Roncat
