Alessandro Baticci, flute
As a freelance flautist, composer and electroacoustic performer, Alessandro is active internationally in the field of contemporary music and sound art. Engagements have taken him to Japan, Argentina, China, France, Germany, Denmark, Italy, Austria, among others, performing in the most important venues and festivals such as Salzburger Festspiele, Darmstadt Ferienkurse, WienModern, Wiener Festwochen, Klangspuren Schwaz, Rondó, IRCAM, Wiener Musikverein, Wiener Konzerthaus, ORF Radiokulturhaus.
His dedication to contemporary music led him not only to cooperations with composers such as Beat Furrer, Tristan Murail, Salvatore Sciarrino and Brian Ferneyhough, but also to an intensive activity in the field of sound installations, performative art and electroacoustic composition. His inventive approach brought him to develop electro-acoustical instruments, digital control and mapping instruments as well as sound solutions for winds (woodify).
He is member and co-founder of The Black Page Orchestra, an ensemble for radical and uncompromising music of our time, as well as member of the pop contemporary duo Nimikry with composer and viola-player Rafal Zalech.
Studies in electro-acoustic composition, sound engineering, flute and trans media art at the University of Music and performing Arts in Vienna, at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna as well as the University of Music and performing Arts in Graz.
Alessandro Battici will be tutoring instead of Eva Furrer at impuls from February 18th and 21th.
