Massimo Toniutti

Massimo Toniutti is an experimental musician whose main sources are concrete sounds. Lately he's investigating the nature of vibrating strings especially associated with a constellation of punctual sounds. His compositional principle is connected to the depth perception of space, also thanks to the use of treated environmental recordings, with il Museo Selvatico from 1991 (reissued in 2018 by Black Truffle) likely representing its most archetypal and influential example. During 1990's and 2000's he dealt also with the language of radio, subsequently collaborating with visual artists and film makers on installations, documentaries etc. From 2016 he's newly publishing his musical works and very recently he started to perform live. His music catalogue, from the 80's, is currently to be reissued on some dedicated European labels.
