Valerio Tricoli is a contemporary Italian musician, composer, and sound artist whose work resides at the intersection of avant-garde music, aural narrative, and sound art. Tricoli's oeuvre is deeply rooted in electroacoustic music, exploring the capabilities of analog electronics while interweaving the human voice and other organic sound sources to create a haunting and immersive sonic environment. His compositions often evoke a cinematic quality, filled with textural depth and narrative abstraction that challenge the conventional boundaries of music and sound design.

Born in Palermo, Tricoli is mainly associated with the use of the Revox tape recorder, an instrument that allows him to manipulate sound in real time, creating complex, layered, and dynamic works. His more recent releases, such as "Clonic Earth" and "Miseri Lares," showcase his continual refinement of technique and his ability to evoke psychological landscapes through sound. Through releases like "Der Krater" and "Say Goodbye To The Wind," Tricoli has found critical acclaim within experimental music circles for his evocative compositions that delve into themes of memory, absence, and the uncanny. As a crucial figure in contemporary experimental music, Tricoli's works stand as testament to the power of sound as a medium for profound artistic expression.
