Alessandro Bosetti

Alessandro Bosetti

Born in 1973
Based in Marseille

A trained saxophonist, Alessandro Bosetti has turned his attention to exploring the musicality of spoken language. His compositions, often conceived for radio or stage, question the boundaries between music, speech, and communication. They often use recordings of human voices, taken from conversations, interviews, or readings, which he processes to highlight their rhythm, melody, and sonic texture. He is interested in how the meaning of words can be altered or enriched by their sonic context. His performances may include the use of electronic instruments, real-time sound processing software, and sometimes improvisation with other musicians.
