A responsibility of an artist in the present day is to travel and work around the World in order to learn and understand different cultures and traditions and discover truth about ourselves and our planet.
Not interested in the traditional definition of music, in my opinion, all musical theory and systems as cultural concepts must be destroyed" Zbigniew Karkowski

LUCA FORCUCCI
Is a composer, performer and sound artist. He focuses on the sonic properties of architectural spaces, immaterial architectures, places, natural resorts and digital environments.

In 2009, He is an artist in residence at the Brain Mind Institute of EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland.
This is part of the programme Swiss Artists in Lab.
The research is based on emotions, mental imagery and music generated by brain waves (EEG).

In 2008, he travels to the Mamori Art Lab, directed by Francisco Lopez in Amazonia, for field recording exploration and deep l istening.

During the FIH (International Theatre Festival of Belo Horizonte 2008) and part of Interaktionlabor.de, he explores the sound possibilities, with independent media choreographer Johannes Birringer, of digital performance.

Luca graduates in 2007 with a Master in Sonic Arts from the Queens University of Belfast. With Eric Lyon and Sile O'Modhrain, he works on electro acoustic works, field recordings and sound installations (with a particular interest for movement, sensors and space as an element of composition).

His project 2 HUMANS & THE COSMOS is a work based on the interaction between live musician and electronic music. The cellist Michael Kott, from New Mexico, is involved in opening a new channel for the cello. The record "Alien Love song", released in 2005 is the result of the exploration.

With Whitman McGowan (poet from San Francisco), a dynamic exchange from the writings to the music is created. From this collaboration exists a live recording called "Caught in the act", released in 2003, with concerts in Europe and USA.

In 1997 he decides to create a musical project in assembling spoken - word and electronic music. At the beginning the texts of Henri Michaud, William S. Burroughs, Shakespeare and Pablo Neruda are mixed with electronic music from turntables. The project is called A-poetik and is later produced by Al Comet (active member of The Young Gods, the Swiss pioneer band in electronic music). The record (300'000km) is released on Universal music during the Montreux Jazz festival of 2001.

Before that Luca is a DJ & producer, who play around European clubs, venues, squats for 15 years, an avid bass player and a promoter of concerts.
