Davide Barbarino (1980), graduated as an anthropologist, is a self-taught saxophonist, clarinetist and guitarist. His musical activity is based mainly on ethnomusicological research, improvisation practices and electro-acoustic composition inspired by Soundscape Studies.
He has been involved in musical ecology projects and landscape mind theory, collaborating with the anthropologist, geographer and poet Matteo Meschiari.
In the last ten years, as a geo-musician, he has focused his musical interventions in unconventional spaces of making music, playing in places such as: the necropolis of Pantalica, the archaeological site of Morgantina, the Adamello Park in Valcamonica, the Etruscans paths inside the Sasseto Monumental Wood, at 'Grotte della Gurfa' in Alia,  at Botanical Garden in Palermo, among others, creating site-specific recording sessions and publishing several works. 
In 2016 the publication of the PANTALICA work (in trio with Tim Hodgkinson and Gandolfo Pagano) was reported by the Italian critic Ettore Garzia among the most interesting of the year in the field-recordings albums.
For over ten years he has collaborated with Curva Minore, the hyperactive association for the heterodox musical divulgation directed by Lelio Giannetto.
In the scene of contemporary and improvised European music he worked and performed, among others with Tim Hodgkinson, Mark Dresser, Barre Phillips, Roberto Bellatalla, Adam Bohman, Mike Cooper, Fabrizio Spera, Gene Coleman, Alvin Curran, Eugene Chadbourne, Frank Gratkowski, Ernst-Ludwig Petrowski, Gianni Gebbia, Sebi Tramontana, Thomas Lehn, John Tilbury, Gino Robair, Stefano Zorzanello, Natacha Muslera, Michel Doneda, eRikm, Jean-Francois Pauvros, Jean-Marc Montera, Laurent Charles, Willehad Grafenhorst, Birgit Yew
