Andrea Belfi

Andrea Belfi is an Italian experimental musician and composer whose work elegantly bridges acoustic percussion and electronic textures. Based in Berlin, Belfi has carved out a niche in the ambient and avant-garde scenes since the early 2000s, crafting immersive soundscapes that feel both organic and meticulously structured. His projects—like the hypnotic *Ore* (2017) or the cinematic *Strata*—often explore rhythm as a fluid, evolving force, blending live drumming with modular synths and field recordings.

Recent releases like *Setteottavi* and *Exotica* showcase his knack for balancing improvisation with precision, while collaborations with artists like David Grubbs and Stefano Pilia highlight his versatility. Belfi’s live performances are legendary for their tactile energy, turning loops and feedback into something strangely meditative. Whether scoring films (*Vessels*) or conjuring abstract narratives (*In the Horse Stable of the Sphinx*), his music feels like a dialogue between chaos and control—a hallmark of his quietly adventurous career.
