Thanks in advance. I'm really not sure.

Davide Fasulo è un compositore poli-strumentista e rumorista. Il suo bagaglio musicale, costruito nel tempo attraverso lo studio e l'esperienza live di musica classica, jazz, elettronica ed etnica, dona alle sue composizioni un carattere ibrido ed eclettico in cui i diversi stili dialogano cercando nuovi punti d'incontro.

typos? multi-instrumental... styles intertwine / contrast with each other
Josephine Cassar Mar 16, 2014:
Agree with your answer-intertwine, but not contrast; maybe amalgamate, but intertwine is better

the diverging styles fuse together in pursuit of their common theme

Although I think it is best to veer away from the "dialogue" idea the Italian often uses in these cases, I don't think it hurts to use some personification (i.e. styles in pursuit of something) - if you can call it that - for the sake of conveying the idea. I have tried to use words which evoke the exact idea here - and also tried to give some alternative forms of the meaning.
