Laura Agnusdei

Laura Agnusdei is an Italian saxophonist, electroacoustic composer, and improviser from Bologna. She is known for her work in the Italian psych-rock band Julie's Haircut, although she has since moved on from that role. Her solo project focuses on electroacoustic composition, often incorporating wind instruments and electronics. One of her notable releases is the album "Laurisilva," which explores an imaginary landscape through sound. Agnusdei is also involved in scoring silent movies and archival material, showcasing her versatility as a composer and performer.

Agnusdei's approach to music emphasizes timbral composition, where she explores the qualities of sound beyond pitch and loudness. Her creative process often involves experimenting with new instruments and techniques, as seen during her residency at WORM Sound Studios, where she worked with modular synthesizers. She has expressed interest in rethinking the way music is shared and experienced, especially in the context of live performances and community engagement. Her work reflects a deep passion for sound exploration and innovation.
