Nicola Sani

Nicola Sani is an Italian composer born in Ferrara in 1961. He writes instrumental, electroacoustic, music theatre and multimedia works, treating electronics as an extension of instrumental sound, an idea set out in the book Musica espansa (2000). He studied with Domenico Guaccero, Giorgio Nottoli and Karlheinz Stockhausen. Sani has received commissions from GRM, Ensemble Modern, WDR and RAI, and worked with Mario Sasso (Footprint, Ars Electronica prize 1990), Nam June Paik, Fabrizio Plessi and Michelangelo Antonioni.
