Valerio Tricoli: tape loops, synthesizer, diffusion, acoustic instruments, vocals.

1977 Born in Palermo. He's made a name in Italy as performer using analogue electronic devices.   His first solo album, that Tricoli himself defines -referring to the paranoid intimate sound world which is the raison d'être of his work - "deja audì music", displays a fresh attidute toward the plastic elements of composition. "Sound sculpture is the appropriate definition to refer to the brightness of his sounds, that increasingly become transparent".
