Andrea Manzoni

Andrea Manzoni is an Italian experimental composer and pianist whose work thrives in the intersection of contemporary classical, improvisation, and avant-garde soundscapes. Known for his prepared piano techniques and immersive theater collaborations (like *Prepared piano | Work for theater* and *Olocene*), Manzoni crafts sonic worlds that feel both raw and meticulously structured. His recent releases—such as the brooding *Ground Fissure*, the live improvisation energy of *Live at Germi*, and the Nordic water-themed explorations in *sjö : två* and *SJÖ*—showcase his knack for blending acoustic intimacy with eerie electronic textures. Whether scoring theater productions or capturing spontaneous performances (like *Live at Slovenský Rozhlas*), his work leans into ambiguity, often leaving listeners suspended between tension and tranquility.
