FRANCESCO
RAMPICHINI
Guitarist and composer born in Milan in 1960, he obtained his Degree from the “L.Marenzio” Conservatory of Brescia, taught by Claudio R. Conti. He attended composition masterclasses held by F. Donatoni, A. Clementi, L. De Pablo, J.C. Risset and H. Dufourt. He also studied trumpet and flugelhorn and conducting. Since early in the 80s he

electronic and informatic music; in 1988 he founded with G.B. Zotti the
independent label musikAtelier, receiving a precious critical
contribution from

that he defines as ”a code of the geometric proportions perceived
through the
acoustic depiction of a space perspective”, in 2004 he published the
book Acusmetria. Il suono visibile
(Franco Angeli 2004), describing the basic principles
and the typical processes of this new language.
He composed various musics
for art exhibitions, video, theatre and
multimedia
arts, conceiving a wide range of interconnections between sounds and
images,
where the outcomes of his research on the isomorphisms between the two
fields
find their ideal application.
The cooperaion with
Giorgio A. Riva has given rise to the work, A quattro
mani (Maggioli, 2009) completely composed through a multimedia
language
syntax, actually four hands with the painter.

Box (GI-MA, 2006); he is coauthor of the volumes Museo Sensibile (Franco Angeli,
2002) and Archestesie
(Spirali, 2004).
His compositions are
included in various anthologies and broadcasted by
Tv
channels as INTER-TV, RAI 3, CANALE 5, Rete A, Odeon TV, Sky TV (Class
Financial Network).
Besides his activity as a
concert performer, started in 1975, since
