Valerio Tricoli
Valerio Tricoli (Palermo, IT) is a composer and performer of electro-acoustic music,
currently based in Munich. Aligned to the tradition of Musique Concrète, his electro-acoustic studio compositions explore themes of the internal - represented both by the psychological and the physical - which together with the use of spoken text and literary references, makes them deeply existential works, self-investigations the psychological, emotional and irrational horror within. Since the mid '00 his main instrument for live presentations is the Revox B77 tape recorder, used as a completely analogue device for live sampling and real-time transformation of pre-recorded and newly made sound sources. The latter usually being vocalizations, acoustic/electronic instruments and everyday objects.
He has released music on labels like PAN and Shelter Press and has been active in long-term collaboration with other musicians, composers, choreographers and multimedia artists such as Thomas Ankersmit, Hanno Leichmann, Werner Dafeldecker and Anthony Pateras. He is also a member of the Geneva based group Re-Ghoster, with Nicholas Field and Thomas Florin.
