Eric Culm

Eric Culm (Eric Guizzo) is a sound artist and audio machine-learning engineer based in Treviso, Italy. His artistic research investigates the shifting boundary between the natural and the synthetic.

One strand of his practice focuses on self-revealing forms of AI art, in which the internal logic, limitations and errors of computational systems are exposed and amplified rather than concealed. Alongside this, he explores how the perception of what is considered acoustic, human or electronic is constantly renegotiated, both in the timbral qualities of sound and in the nuances of musical performance.

His work has been presented at venues and festivals including AIMC 2026 in Brussels, Fabbrica del Vapore in Milan, Palazzo Malipiero in Venice and Errant Sound in Berlin and has been released by Krisis Publishing.

Clangòre unfolds as a stream of consciousness in which the acoustic and the synthetic dissolve into an ambiguous third state. The listener is exposed to sounds that feel simultaneously real and artificial, familiar and estranged, without being able to draw a stable boundary between them.

The album was created through a reciprocal exchange between human and machine: computer generated scores are performed by hand, while human performances are processed and reshaped into synthetic sound. Gesture becomes data, data becomes gesture. Alongside this exchange, acoustic performances and electronically generated material also appear in their more familiar forms, further complicating the relationship between source and perception.

Through this continuous circulation, human intention and computational logic blend into a hybrid musical language. Rather than presenting technology as something opposed to human expression, Clangòre explores the unstable space in which the two become entangled. The listener is deliberately disoriented, but also invited to perceive the tensions, affinities and unexpected beauty that emerge from their combination.
