Luca Ricci (*1992) studied flute, musicology, and composition in Italy. Moving beyond 20th Century European post-avant-garde, he looks for a synthesis between pitch-based composition and sound sculpture: his technique of “sonic shaping” rethinks the Italian poly- vocal heritage (from Monteverdi to Federico Incardona), turning the expressive power of linear “polyphony” into “multiphony”. Half academic and half self-taught, he developed his syncretic approach by confronting with many different personalities: Riccardo Dapelo, Carlo Alessandro Landini, Aureliano Cattaneo, Alessandro Solbiati, Gabriele Manca, Dario Buccino, Ivan Fedele and Michelangelo Lupone. His works are performed by festivals and institutions like Festival Pontino, Milano Musica Festival, Teatro La Fenice of Venezia, Orchestra of Teatro Comunale di Bologna, Academy of Santa Cecilia (Rome), Accademia Filarmonica Romana, GMEM-CNCM Marseille, Italian Cultural Institute of Berlin, HMDK Stuttgart, WDR-Funkhaus Köln, Mozarteum Salzburg, Philharmonie de Paris, Tel Aviv Museum of Art, University of Haifa, Creative Dialogue France 2023, NYCEMF 2024 (New York). He has worked with instrumental ensembles and musicians such as Ex Novo Ensemble, Divertimento Ensemble, Mdi Ensemble, Ensemble ÉRMA, Collettivo_21, Quatuor Tana, Ensemble Multilatérale, Trio SEV, Anssi Karttunen, Marco Fusi, Alberto Mesirca, Andrea Monarda, Anna D'Errico, Yoichi Sugiyama, Giovanni De Luca, Enzo Filippetti. Finalist in the competitions "Unique Forms of Continuity in Space" (Kyoto) and "Donald Aird" (USA), he won the XXV International Competition "2 August" of Bologna, the "Breaking Music Composition Competition 2020", the first prize at III International Composers Competition "New Music Generation 2021" (Kazakhstan) and the third prize at "International ACHT BRÜCKEN Composition Competition" (Köln).
