Giovanni Lami

Giovanni Lami (Ravenna, Italy / 1978) is a sound artist and musician who work within soundscape and sound-ecology boundaries. Graduated in Food Science and Technologies and in Photography, formerly photographer he had exhibitions across Europe and abroad, attended a couple of artistic residence (Basque Country and Norway) and worked with several commercial realities (from Unesco in Lalibela /Ethiopia to alternative clothing brands). Presently working in the field of sound, his influence as a photographer lends itself perfectly to composing his sonic explorations. The infinite universe of sound is as wide as the visual possibilities available using images, working on field recordings and real time signals processing (analog or digital). His research is related today with the study of resonant surfaces in the field and the limit/interferences of each device used to record or reproduce a sound.
