Devid Ciampalini (1988) is a impro musician / composer and founder of the Ambient Noise Session collective. He carries out research related to the improvisation and composition of electronic music, using synthesizers, field recordings and magnetic tapes. His work lies on the border between cosmic music and concrete music, a journey into the imaginative sound of the galaxies. Specifically, his technique consists in recording, in multitrack on magnetic tape, synthesizer improvisations and field recordings, then cutting the reel into small portions, mixing them together and rejoining them in a random way, obtaining a stereo sound collage. Once ready, this reel is used as a random sequence to be modified on the spot and with which to interact with synthesizers. From 2011 to 2016 he played in various ensembles, including Metzengerstein, Luce Celestiale, Alga Alma, Holy Hole, Flocculi, Hare, SuperVixens, etc. releasing records and playing live in Europe.
