Alessandro Bosetti was born in Milan, Italy in 1973. He is a composer
and sound artist working on the musicality of spoken words and unusual
aspects of spoken communication, producing text-sound compositions
featured in live performances, radio broadcastings and published
recordings. In his work he moves across the line between sound
anthropology and composition, often including translation and
misunderstanding in the creative process. Field research and
interviews build the basis for abstract compositions, along with
electro-acoustic and acoustic collages, relational strategies, trained
and untrained instrumental practices, vocal explorations and digital
manipulations. Recent projects include African Feedback (Errant Bodies
press), the interactive speaking machine “MaskMirror” (STEIM,
Kunstradio.at a.o. ) and an ongoing project on linguistic enclaves in
the USA. Alessandro Bosetti lives between Berlin (Germany) and
Baltimore (USA).
