Luciano Azzigotti

Luciano Azzigotti is a composer and media artist whose work focuses on the invention of systems, where the relationships between instruments, beings and environments converge in an estrangement. Starting from instrumental music writing, his experiments with amplification, installation objects, dynamic notation, gamified environments and expanded reality have been described as having a veiled lyrical complexity, of a highly ambiguous and compelling nature (Monjeau, 2010). Winner of the Juan Carlos Paz Award and the Cóndor de Plata, and supported by the Ernst von Siemens Musikstiftung and the Fondo Nacional de las Artes among others, his work has been presented at Darmstädter Ferienkurse, Teatro General San Martín, Harvard University, Teatro Municipal de São Paulo and Impuls Academy. His concert work has been commissioned by ensembles and soloists including reConvert, HKB Bern, Ensemble Neo, Bruno Mesz and Anna D'Errico. He is a PhD researcher in Artistic Research at the Norwegian Academy of Music in Oslo, affiliated with the NordART research centre and MishMash — Centre for AI and Creativity, where his project *Speculative Organology* inverts organology from the classification of existing instruments to the generation of new ones. He teaches in the Department of New Media Composition at the Haute école de musique de Genève and at UNTREF Argentina. As a curator he founded conDiT Buenos Aires and container, and directed the TACEC Experimental Center (2018) at Teatro Argentino de La Plata. He works between Oslo, Bern and Buenos Aires.
