Giulio Aldinucci

Giulio Aldinucci (born 1981 in Siena) is an Italian composer working primarily in the field of experimental electroacoustic music. His practice encompasses composition, soundscape composition, and the use of archival materials, investigating the relationship between past and present. Through field recording as both method and medium, Aldinucci problematizes the distinction between the “natural” - conceived as the contingent and unregulated sonority of environmental phenomena - and the “artificial,” understood as the product of technologically mediated processes of capture, transformation, and recontextualization. The Wire described Aldinucci's approach to ambient music as elevating it beyond its conventional role as an aural backdrop.

He has released albums on labels including Karlrecords (Germany), 99chants (Germany), Home Normal (UK/Japan), Time Released Sound (USA), Dronarivm (Netherlands) and Nomadic Kids Republic (UK/Japan). He has also published EPs and collaborative albums with artists such as Enrico Coniglio, The Star Pillow, Ian Hawgood, Francis M. Gri, Francesco Giannico, and Pleq.

In addition to his solo and collaborative works, Aldinucci has created installations, performances and composed music for theatre, video art, experimental radio and cinema. His music has appeared in various compilations, including Sound at Work – electronic music and labour produced by Tempo Reale, and the celebratory 50th issue of The Wire Tapper.
