Giovanni Albini

«Processes and materials react in Albini’s music like a chain of chemical experiments, where new formulas are applied to old component and vice versa. […] Each one of his works invites us to think of itself as a pure sounding idea. So every piece is a monument to sounding ideas, and his music – in the deep humanistic spirit of this composer-mathematician – a musica monumentalis.» (Giovanni Cestino) In his vast catalogue of scores Giovanni Albini (b.1982) has deepened the use of mathematical models in music, developing a personal and unique mathematically informed aesthetics. He also devoted himself with special interest to soundtracks and sound designs for interactive media, algorithmic music and non linear composition systems, programming several interactive multimedia artworks, music software and musical video games and researching their aesthetical framework. In addition, he is an ukulelist who fosters the development of a new challenging and cultivated ukulele repertoire, aiming to deepen and evolve the idiomatic unique features of the instrument.
