DJ2P @ CPM

On ……, the CPM Music Institute in Milan hosted Andrea Ciaudano, better known in the music scene as DJ2P, during the May 2025 Open Week.

DJ2P is an Italian DJ and producer from Monza, renowned for his talent in turntablism and his productions that blend hip hop, electronic, and experimental sounds. On Instagram, he describes himself as a “super turntablism champion” and boasts a record of victories in national competitions, including four-time Italian champion in various categories.

Among his international achievements, he secured second place at the 2007 IDA World Championship held in Poland, a performance still remembered for its originality and technique. Throughout his career, he has collaborated with leading figures of the Italian hip hop scene, including Marracash during the “Rivincita Tour,” and with the project Trio Bobo, a formation originating from the rhythm section of Elio e le Storie Tese.

His first official album, Delivery Vibes, represents a synthesis of his artistic journey: instrumental tracks, moments of scratch, and rap collaborations with artists such as Esa and DJ Gruff. Among the most notable tracks is the single “Kill Vips,” featuring rapper Clementino.

With his ability to merge technical skill, sound experimentation, and a deep connection to substantive hip hop, DJ2P continues to stand out as one of the leading figures in the contemporary Italian DJ and beatmaking scene.

Siena Jazz Opens to Applied Research
ANVUR has approved Italy’s first doctoral program on the “Languages of Improvisation in Contemporary Music,” in collaboration with the Accademia Musicale Chigiana and other national partners.

Siena, August 5 – Siena Jazz achieves another milestone by opening up to applied research with the launch of Italy’s first doctoral program in “Languages of Improvisation in Contemporary Music.” The program, conceived and submitted by Siena Jazz to the Ministry of University and Research (MUR), has already received favorable feedback from ANVUR (National Agency for the Evaluation of the University and Research System).

The doctoral school represents a unique opportunity for artistic and professional growth at the international level, focusing on high-level artistic research. Applications must be submitted by September 2. Full details and application procedures are available here: Siena Jazz Doctoral Program

The program addresses the innovation needs of contemporary music production, with a specific focus on applied research in performing arts, the enhancement and reinterpretation of musical heritage, and the exploration of new audiences. The introduction of a third-cycle doctoral program complements Siena Jazz’s existing excellence pathways.

Among the program’s priorities is a scholarship dedicated to female candidates to encourage and support women’s access to research and music production in an international context.

The doctoral school collaborates with prestigious partners, including the Accademia Chigiana and Fondazione Monte dei Paschi di Siena, as well as AFAM institutions such as the Conservatorio G. Frescobaldi of Ferrara and CPM Music Institute, already partners in the JazzAble project funded under the PNRR.

Key to this collaboration is the synergy between Siena Jazz and Accademia Chigiana, with joint initiatives such as the Tabula Rasa project coordinated by M° Stefano Battaglia and the “Chigiana meets Siena Jazz” events, which have been featured for years in both institutions’ summer programs. The connection between Chigiana and Siena Jazz, combining educational and artistic production activities, fosters a fertile environment for field research, thanks to annual international events and the high caliber of artists presenting works in Siena.

The Doctoral Program in Languages of Improvisation in Contemporary Music is a three-year study and research course aimed at performers from diverse traditions (jazz, contemporary classical, rock, pop, folk), with a focus on candidates whose artistic practice embraces a cross-disciplinary approach.

The faculty composition enhances the program’s scientific quality and ensures sustainability in terms of resources and facilities, with financial support from Fondazione Monte dei Paschi di Siena and contributions from other partners in terms of venues, structures, and equipment. The doctoral board includes Francesco Bigoni (Siena Jazz, course coordinator), M° Stefano Battaglia, Filippo Vignato, Alfonso Santimone, Dan Kinzelman, Demian Cabaud (Siena Jazz), Marta Raviglia (Conservatorio Frescobaldi, Ferrara), Gabriele Comeglio (CPM Music Institute), and Susanna Pasticci and Stefano Jacoviello (Accademia Chigiana).

The president of Siena Jazz expressed great satisfaction with the launch of the doctoral program: “This success,” said Prof. Massimo Mazzini, “adds to the positive achievements of recent months, marking a particularly fertile period for our Academy. It is a success shared with the entire city, which looks to the future musical development of young talents thanks to the collaboration of two of Italy’s main musical excellences.”

The president of the Accademia Musicale Chigiana, Dr. Carlo Rossi, also expressed appreciation “for the creation of a joint initiative that pools some of the best resources of the two Sienese institutions and achieves an outcome long pursued through spaces for dialogue and formative experiences dedicated to new sounds.”
