The minimalist musical composition, built from a few elements that repeat in cyclical and random patterns, serves as a dreamlike accompaniment to the transformation of the city, narrated through field recordings. It is a sonic narrative of the transition from a contemporary urban landscape to a city of the future, where nature plays a central role in our lives.

Music and Field Recordings by Giacomo Vanelli.

In April 2025, Giacomo Vanelli took part in the fourth edition of Radio Residenze, the series of artistic residencies dedicated to experimental radio and its connections with the performing arts. Hosted at Giardini Pensili in Rimini and organized by Usmaradio – Research Centre for Radiophonic Studies of University of San Marino, Vanelli developed a new work exploring the possibilities of modular synthesis and chance-driven composition. His residency culminated in a live performance broadcast on usmaradio.org, presented as part of the Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day on April 24.

Giacomo Vanelli is a musician known for his deep commitment to ambient and experimental electronic music. Vanelli is distinguished by his innovative approach to composition, where the modular synthesizer is not merely an instrument but a platform for exploring chance and self-imposed limitations. This method allows him to create complex and nuanced soundscapes that reflect a highly personal and introspective creative process.
