He also has worked for the Department of Phonology at RAI (Italy's national television station) in Milan and has collaborated with the CNR (National Research Council) of Pisa, where he studied computer applications in the field of music.
Cacciapaglia is a prominent figure on the more innovative Italian music scene and a point of reference in Italy and abroad, for his musical research between classical and experimental electronic and direction towards music without borders that goes beyond divisions.
For some time, he was involved in studying sacred music and dance, and for a number of years he has conducted a research effort that studies the powers of sound. His music draws inspiration from these experiences and passes through emotions rather than through traditional rules and structure.
”SONANZE” (1974) is his first record, published by Rolf Ulrich Kaiser, editor of “OHR”, a German record company. Through this work, Cacciapaglia entered into contact with various German music groups such as: POPOL VUH, TANGERINE DREAM, WALLENSTEIN, DIETER DARKS.

hay compositores que llegan a cierto nivel y uno dice, guau, este obra es única. mientras que hay otros que empezaron creando grandes obras pero como que con el tiempo se vuelven tan monótonos. Por ahí hay otro gran compositor italiano de cual no quiero decir el nombre y que siento que últimamente solo hace mas de lo mismo y que aquellos tiempos de gloria y fama se esta quedando en el pasado. pero Sr Roberto Cacciapaglia me sorprende demasiado, para mi unos de los mejores compositores que no son monótonos y en cada obra evoluciona y trasciende. Diapasón es una obra maestra y es tan diferente a las demás grandiosas obras del sr Roberto. muchas Gracias por tan bellas obras.
Emanuela Gentile
Grazie Dio per averci donato questo grandissimo Maestro❤
Gianfranco Mazzocchetti
Lei, maestro, deve avere una vita felice altrimenti non potrebbe creare certe melodie. Per questo io le auguro che la sua vita sia sempre così. Noi racciglieremo volentieri le briciole.

there are composers who reach a certain level and you say, wow, this work is unique. while there are others who started creating great works but like that over time they become so monotonous. Out there there is another great Italian composer whose name I don't want to say and who I feel that lately he only does more of the same and that those times of glory and fame are being left in the past. but Mr. Roberto Cacciapaglia surprises me too much, for me one of the best composers who are not monotonous and in each work he evolves and transcends. Diapason is a masterpiece and is so different from the other great works of Mr. Roberto. Thank you very much for such beautiful works.
