Antonio Mainenti
His first sound experiences, when he’s five years old, are made with a red and black Phonola tape recorder: he records sounds of environment, unusual bawls, rattles and improvisations. The tapes have gone lost.
He works in soundtracks, radio and composition, collaborates in a video production and in 2003 starts to be involved in teaching projects, developing a personal approach to the construction of sound objects and musical instruments. He directs workshops in schools and universities, where is able to explore the areas of sound objects, body and environment sounds. Gradually he moves away from music in “strictu sensu” towards an approach of “total sound"
