Lorenzo Abattoir

Lorenzo Abattoir (Lorenzo Abbà) is a sound artist from Turin whose work centres on breath, bodily sounds and microphones used at very close range. After playing in punk and then black metal bands, he reduced his practice to the voice alone and places it in the tradition of sound poetry, citing Henri Chopin as a reference. His main recorded work is a cycle of acts that build a non-verbal vocal language between human and animal.
