I bio
Luigi Turra (b. 1975) is a italian sound/installation artist and graphic designer.
His main interest is in the aural textures created by a reprocessed-field recordings and concrete sourges captured around a word.
With this method it creates a harmonic equilibrium between sound and silence, tactile perception, within "environmental" aesthetics and references to japanese culture.
After a series of valued net releases for both italian and international labels with the esa moniker, young italian composer and visual artist Luigi Turra makes his official debut for smallvoices.?With the enso release, Luigi Turra confirms his peculiar minimal-reductionist aesthetic which has always distinguished his artistic production, opting this time for radically organic and complex compositions, perfectly focused by the elegant production of Gianluca Becuzzi, one of the prominent figures of contemporary avantgarde scene. The three long electro-acoustic pieces which make up enso take their inspiration from the noted japanese calligraphic font, symbol of the universe, of illumination and force, and represent it through a resonant body, shadowy and translucent at the same time. Circular and emotional, this work develops through faint drawings of quiet materials, through suggestive immersions into traditional japanese music and restrained manipulations of matter transformed into signs of crystal beauty and deep spirituality.
