My name is Pietro Sammarco. My sound studio is called Pippo Sound. I do sound design and music for film, and record bands. I live in Vancouver.

I'm currently studying Communications at Simon Fraser University.

I received a Bachelor in Media Arts from the Emily Carr Institute of Art & Design. One of the most valuable things I learned at ECI was how to collaborate creatively with others to strengthen the components of an idea.

I also attended the Audio Engineering Work-Study Program at the Banff Centre, honing my audio engineering skills, by mostly recording classical, jazz, and some folk music.

Pippo defied his classification as a "dog". It was usually easiest to call him a dog when presenting him to someone, but I became very aware that calling him "dog" linked him to all the other beings that fell under the same classification, when really, the two of us shared more things in common than I did with other "humans" and than he did with other "dogs".
