Oscar Accorsi - Multimedia Artist
"I have often thought that I am perhaps an unusual kind of artist, basically a composer, working with a wide range of materials, from bits to heavy steel, passing through the air. Maybe my real job is to stay in the middle, to occupy that space which old academic classifications would call “analogy”, a figure of speech that is well defined in operational terms but so full of potential.
A source of comfort and pride is the thought that this unusual kind of artist has a role model that comes from afar, the mythical demiurge of music, the smith Tubulcain."
Born in Italy, 1958
Studied music composition with Salvatore Sciarrino at Accademia Musicale Città di Castello (PG).
In 1985 he graduated in "Band Instrumentation" and in 1987 he graduated in "Choral music and choral conducting. He has worked as conductor and composer investigating, with the latter, mainly the relationship between the perception of the sound and his organization.
Since 1993 his research adds to a compositional art activity to coordinate sound, matter and light in a unique theatrical with obvious implications . The "spectator" is not such, but is found to be mutated into "actor" without this new role may leave. To his credit has several solo and group in Italy, Belgium and USA.
In 2008 form, along with Mauro Casappa, "OTTOelectro Sound and Visual Art", a group devoted to the proposal for electronic music "live", multichannel audio spatialization research, braided Vision Solutions, with performative character.
Since a few years has further expanded his horizons facing video production and their use live, declined in installative and performative purposes, as well as the creative use of digital technologies (software, coding, etc. ).
my creative path is not a straight line
it's a bundle of small entwined paths
interrupted and resumed over time
...exploration and endless discovery
