Born in Cuneo, Italy, in 1982, Davide Arneodo studied violin at the Torino School of Music in which he also dedicated himself to piano, alto, chamber music, orchestra and electronic music, while, at the same time, active in the alternative Piedmontese folk and rock scene, playing in bands like SURISCOT TRIO, A FIL DE CIEL and INSTRUMENTAL QUARTER. He started to collaborate on different projects and, in 2002, met Vittorio de Scalzi (NEW TROLLS) with whom he played for over two years in Concerto Grosso Live.
After playing all over Italy, Europe and USA, the desire for a personal project led him to start to work on compositions that filtered all these experiences and which, at the same time, were not influenced by them and did not belong to a specific genre or definition.
Silvio Pautasso, captured by this style, invited him to compose the soundtrack to an Italian cartoon and so, encouraged by this proposal, he also set a short film to music, playing it with an ensemble he created in a concert in Aosta.
Soon came the need to record the songs and so he started to work in the recording studios with MARTA MATTALIA, the voice and poetic soul of the project, inviting internationally-renowned guests like RICCARDO TESI and FEDERICO SANESI.
The music that emerges from these years of work is reflected in compositions in which we can hear folk echoes, minimal music, progressive influences, post rock, all based on unusual rhythmic and timbre combinations, performed with every kind of instrument such piano, electric guitar, violin, percussions, toy instruments, all played by a single musician and used as different colours to paint a canvas belonging to a private world...or to an old 8mm film.
VOV was born.
In 2007 he worked with L'AURA (keyboards, toy instruments and violin on the last album Demian) and IG, the project by GIANNI MAROCCOLO and IVANA GATTI.
He's at present playing with MARLENE KUNTZ.
