Fabio Orsi is a composer, photographer, and musician with skills and experience in the field of experimental research. In particular, he has specialized in the study of sound and its propagation in space. His research on environmental sound is closely connected to the world of photography. Fabio captures sounds as if they were photographs and composes images as if they were memories. The harmony between sound and image is one of the most fascinating aspects of his work, which explores themes of memory, evocative recollection, and subjective perception. His activity as a musician reflects an intimate vision of the world, translating it into a dreamlike dimension made of deep, repetitive sounds that envelop the listener in a microcosm of auditory experiences. His most recent works, alongside the classic ambient and drone atmospheres for which he is well known, also feature more dynamic sections with rhythms and pulses, as well as more melodic passages. It is a perfect meeting point between ambient music and Berlin School electronics, between intimate, dreamlike atmospheres and epic soundscapes. Among his most representative works, one must mention the seminal Osci (SmallVoices, 2005), one of the earliest examples of digital electronics blended with “folk/ethnographic” sounds from southern Italy; the masterpiece Find Electronica (A Silent Place, 2007), an album of hypnotic, melancholic electronic music with folk inflections; the monumental Di Lumi E Chiarori (Backwards, 2020); and the recent Appunti Sonori Su Infinite Sequenze (13, 2024).
