Nicola Ratti
”Nicola Ratti lives and works in Milan. The use of sound and its almost craftmanship creation pushes his own
music research to get through electroacoustic compositions, melodic-rhythmic patterns and nearby an area
that could be easily placed between music concrete and minimal techno with a generous use of improvisation.
Today, alongside his solo career, with discs produced by Anticipate (U.S.), Preservation (AU), Megaplomb (IT),
Die Schachtel (IT) and concerts in Europe and North America, he works on valuable collaborations such as the
soundtrack-band Ronin where he plays guitar since 2006, the duo “Bellows” with Giuseppe Ielasi with whom
he shares a radical sound research and the duo FaravelliRatti with Attila Faravelli in which the guitar loses its
horizons in the colleague’s world of prepared speakers. With them he has produced several records for Italian
and foreign labels.
He’s also, with Fatima Bianchi, the co-founder of FeN Bureau, an art entity for the production of video and sound installations.
Nicola Ratti works as an architect in Gru Architetti, a multidisciplinary team based in Milan, he runs the art/installation branch of the office”
Giovanni Lami
Giovanni Lami (Palustre records, Impulsive Habitat, Fratto9 Under the Sky, Felt, Crónica) is a field recordist and musician from Ravenna, with a background in photography, now working within the soundscape and sound ecology boundaries. His experience with large format cameras proved instrumental when conducting his sonic explorations on location. Beside his solo work he is currently involved in a number of collaborative projects including Lĕmŭres (with Enrico Coniglio) and Terrapin (with Shaun McAlpine).
