Sound Artist / Sound Designer / Music Producer
Enrico Ascoli works in sound art exhibitions, multimedia installations, documentary films, animation movies, field recordings, advertising and cognitive research. He makes electroacoustic music and experimental sound installations and performances. His recent music projects are edited/composed using processed location recordings; in performance and installations he sometimes combines these with everyday life objects and food cooking processes to create pieces which move between the abstract and the sociocultural perspective.
