Sound Migrations is the means through which Renzo shares his journey through sound as sound recordist, sound designer, sound artist and composer. Within this field, his work over the past two decades has focussed on merging improvisation, electronics, percussion and field recordings in his compositions for film, installations and live performances. Through his work, Renzo brings about a deeper sensorial engagement with listeners and audiences, be it in public spaces, performance venues, film and art galleries. His immersive sonic textures draw from Nordic minimalism, and his engagement with matural phenomena, with special emphasis on the sea, coastlines, water and the natural world are a main source of inspiration. Renzo holds a master's degree in Sound Arts from Oxford Brookes University. |
