Speaker

Alessandro Bosetti

Composer and sound artist, Alessandro Bosetti explores the musicality of language and the voice conceived as an autonomous object, as well as the relationships between sound and memory. He designs singular dispositifs, often linked to the radio medium, and develops a line of inquiry that questions listening in its postures and aesthetic categories. Among his recent works are the anonymous voice archives ‘Plane/Talea’, the digital ventriloquism device ‘MaskMirror’, and a research project focused on a sonic mnemonic, pursued through performances such as ‘La memoria risiede nel lobo dell’orecchio’. His practice draws on a range of techniques—radio art, contemporary composition, vocal polyphony, and conceptual gesture. At the core of his work lies encounter, particularly conversation and the interview, understood as dispositifs that are both generative and performative. Sound and voice thus become both the site and the material of a possible ecology of encounter and memory. Programmed at festivals such as the Festival d’Automne in Paris, the Musica Festival in Strasbourg, the GRM’s Présences Électroniques Festival, Liquid Architecture in Melbourne, and the San Francisco Electronic Music Festival, Alessandro Bosetti’s music has been widely published by labels and publishers including Three:Four Records, Errant Bodies Press, Les presses du réel, Holidays Records, Kohlhaas, Unsound, and Monotype. Alessandro lives and works in Marseille.
