Alessandro Bosetti was born in Milan in 1973.


His abstract compositions (on disc, in public performances or for radio broadcasts) blend sound documents and recorded interviews, acoustic and electro-acoustic collages, relational strategies, instrumental practices, vocal explorations and digital manipulations. A questioning of oral communication, of the vagaries of translation processes, and of listening as a cultural object, at the frontier between sound anthropology and contemporary music.

Bosetti is the author of a series of remarkable sound works, where relational aesthetics meet the most innovative compositional methods, and has published over a dozen CDs of his own music, not to mention his countless collaborations. Since 2000, he has been a major figure in the Ars Acustica movement, and is the author of a vast corpus of electroacoustic works and text-sound compositions, notably for institutions such as WDR Studio Akustische Kunst, DeutschlandRadio and GRM, among others. Pieces such as Il Fiore della Bocca (Rossbin / DLR 2005) - a work revolving around the vocalism of people with physical or mental disabilities - or African Feedback - which questions experimental music, a collaborative work with the inhabitants of a West African village(Errant Bodies Press, 2004) have gained international recognition, and now count among the classics of the genre.

Alessandro Bosetti has already presented his sensitive performances in Europe, Asia and the USA, whether solo, at the head of his Trophies ensemble with Tony Buck and Kenta Nagai, in collaboration with other vocal performers such as Jennifer Walshe and Tomomi Adachi, or with pianist Chris Abrahams.
