We firmly believe that our people are the cornerstone of our success. Therefore, allow us to introduce you to the faces behind our journey: our team.

			STEFANO LUCATO Founder/CEO Stefano Lucato is a professional musician, musical producer, developer, and programmer who has made several records, and musical productions for Italian radio and television. His passion for music is paralleled by his interests in acoustical physics and technologies for sound synthesis, and by his dedication to programming. He began his collaboration with Dr. Giorgio Tommasini in 2003, a partnership which eventually led to the development of proprietary techniques, including “Determination of modal resonances and the impulse response of an instrument by analysis of pitched sounds”. Their collaboration also resulted in the creation of MIDI processors used for the first prototypes of solo strings instruments: “The Stradivari Violin”, presented at NAMM in January of 2005. Stefano later developed a revolutionary method of sample handling, allowing real-time multi-vector morphing across time, timbre, and pitch. This technology (“Synchronous Wave Triggering”) was applied for the first time to Mr. Sax T., the virtual tenor saxophone developed in collaboration with Samplemodeling. In 2009, Stefano began his collaboration with engineer Emanuele Parravicini on the development of a new and more powerful technology: the SWAM engine. In 2017, together with Emanuele, he founded Audio Modeling. He is currently the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the company.
			EMANUELE PARRAVICINI Founder/CTO Also known as Lele, Emanuele is a Telecommunications Engineer, freelancer, and developer. While at university, he studied in-depth subjects such as signal theory, random processes, digital signal processing, and software development, and later earned his Master’s degree in Information Technologies. Lele is also a musician and singer who loves music and audio applications. Since 2002, he’s worked with large companies as a programmer and also as a project manager, and has developed many Web-based projects in PHP, Java, and some C++. In 2007, he started developing audio plugins and working on digital audio research, and began his collaboration with Stefano Lucato on the SWAM engine project in September of 2009. In 2015 he started collaborating with Simone Capitani on the Camelot project. Emanuele is currently the Chief Technical Officer (CTO) and Sales Manager.
			SIMONE CAPITANI Partner/CXO Simone is an Electronics Engineering professional turned UX designer and researcher with a career spanning over a decade. He’s collaborated with notable musicians like Jordan Rudess and worked with companies like ROLI, KORG , and Fatar/Studiologic. Simone’s work at Audio Modeling, where he focuses on product design, partnerships, and communication, has led him to his current roles as Marketing Director and Chief Experience Officer (CXO), with the primary goal of making a significant impact in the music technology industry.

You won’t believe it, but everything started with just an email!

Stefano Lucato has always been thinking of a new sound technology and he needed a software engineer who could help him setting up his idea. He was looking for a smart and dynamic professional with skills in programming and audio processing.

It was September 12, 2009 when Stefano Lucato googled “Sviluppatore VST” (that means “VST Developer” in Italian) and he found Emanuele Parravicini (Lele) as the first result. 

Stefano emailed Lele and he replied in less than 24 hours. Few days later they were in the same room talking about innovative sound technologies, and it was the “Big Bang” of what we now call “SWAM”.

Audio Modeling was born later in 2017, after several years of collaboration with the same passion, more experience and new challenges. But everything started with a click of a (Send) button on September 2009.
