He invests himself in sound poetry of everyday life, organized around a vast array of personal field recordings and melodic compositions meticulously arranged in a story-telling way. He's part of the duo Starlight Assembly along with Dominic Appleton and he plays in Sparkle in Grey and Open to the Sea. He has been active in music since 1996; most of the releases under his own names are in collaboration with other artists such as Dominic Appleton, Nocturnal Emissions, M.B./Maurizio Bianchi, Controlled Bleeding, vonneumann, Francesco Giannico, Tex La Homa, Giulio Aldinucci, Deison, Nuno Moita, Andrea Ferraris, Enrico Coniglio, Maurizio Abate and others. His latest solo moniker is Barnacles, a more 'tribal beats' project. https://matteouggeri.bandcamp.com/ (Above photo by Riccardo Trudi Diotallevi) |
