Experimental electronic musician, improviser, and composer.
Instruments builder and programmer for performance. She has been working on sound sculptures since 4 years, in order to unify gesture, sound and fine arts not only for installation purpose but also for live performances.

Electronics and amplified objects are used to create and compose a personal sound experience. She has began her piano study at six. She has studied istantaneous composition and improvisation with Tristan Honsinger and Phil Minton.

Composer for theater (prepared piano and electronics) in many differents projects ("Il requiem di Adelchi", "Majakovsky Pictures" directed by Giovanni Sarti and "Vedentinonvedenti", a multimedia opera sponsorized by City of Bologna for "Bologna 2000" cultural european capital).

“Intimate Acquaintance” solo. An electroacoustic concert for tape, live electronics and improvisation. It was performed for “EME festival 2008” in Lisboa .
This composition is divided in 3 macro sections that explore different sensorial and concrete landscape, part of the performance is improvised into defined structures. Musicians are encouraged to enjoy in this sections. The improvised part of this composition involves objects and equipement I usually find around into the space that host the performance.
Used live instruments: Synthesizer, Laptop, Effects, Mixer, Piezoelectric
Microphones, Toys, selfmade theremin.

Late 2008 She has joint the italian improvisers collective “Improvvisatore Involontario”.

During 2009 she has worked for “Electroshop” project, a performance dedicated to the uniqueness of music performance.
Performers:
Anna Troisi: sounding sculptures, theremin and electronics.
Antonino Chiaramonte: live electronics and audio sequencing.
Giorgio Distante: trumpet and electronics.
Roberto Paci Dalò: bass clarinet and electronics.
Music by:
Antonino Chiaramonte, Roberto Paci Dalò, Giorgio Distante, Eduardo Reck Miranda,

Sounding sculptures created by Anna Troisi.
Abstract: “Electroshop”, involves open scores consisting of functional patterns subdivided into blocks (performative/operational score). These blocks contains informations about predetermined rhythmic-melodic-gestural modules and notation of any composer-determined performative and interpretative features. Scores are intended as guidelines for the performers, who are free to improvise within the boundaries of the
modules (controlled improvisation).
Live electronics processes and elaboration typologies are established as well as real time changeable parameters are notated; performative actions on sounding pieces can be manage musical events fixed on score.
During development and rehearsal, musicians are encouraged to experiment interaction with pre-existent sound material played by an audio sequencing software. Real-time processing of chosen sections of instrumental performance are obtained by combined use of plug-ins (e.g. reverberations, delays, filters, pitch shifting, spectral transforming) and original Max/MSP patches.
Aesthetics: “Electroshop” is a “sounding pieces shop” that suggest a selling of original and unique pieces (sounding pieces/musical pieces), through an auction (public sale – performance).
Pieces (sounding piece of art) spectro-morphological features are a binding part of musical piece score, contribuiting to composition and musical language discourse, creating a correspondence between piece (sounding piece of art) and musical piece. In this way the piece agrees to concept of “piece of art uniqueness”.
It is also implied the uniqueness of musical performance: when the piece (sounding piece of art) has been sold it will be impossible to perform again the related musical piece unless “Electroshop” will borrow the sounding piece of art.
