biography
Alessio Ballerini, sound and multimedia artist, uses a computer and other devices to create experimental, electroacoustic, minimalist and multi-stratified sounds.
He explores real and imaginary landscapes by using field recordings, guitar, piano and digital composition, so that the sound finds its beauty in the harmonic ambient substrate.
He has been a member of the cinematographic group Postodellefragole since 2004.
In 2010, he founded AIPS [Archivio Italiano Paesaggi Sonori] together with other Italian sound-scapers.
He has collaborated and shared the stage with Alva Noto, Lawrence English, Oval, Retina, Enrico Coniglio, Senking, Erik Skodvin, Giuseppe Cordaro, Francesco Giannico, TU M’, Pietro Riparbelli...
“ By manipulating his guitar through a variety of effects, and cushioning the sounds on a bed of field recordings, Ballerini goes for a different approach than his predecessors.....more concise and the moods and atmospheres more varied. Deathly silent one moment, crackling with vibrancy the next...Think Fennesz, Fabio Orsi, Keith Fullerton Whitman…think Alessio Ballerini. “ - The Silent Ballet
