ARTISTE PLURIDIMENSIONNEL ÉLECTROACOUSTIQUE

Lorenzo Troiani is an Italian composer (Rome, 1989) living in Vienna.

His work, be it acoustic, electronics, theatre or installation, deals with the instability hidden within every object and it considers such oscillating and trembling nature as an existential “ground zero” of the human experience.

He studied composition with Salvatore Sciarrino, Rosario Mirigliano, Clemens Gadenstätter, Gerd Kühr, Chaya Czernowin in institutions such as Conservatory of Rome (Diploma), Conservatory of Latina, Kunstuniversität Graz (MA), Harvard University (PhD).

His music has been performed by different ensembles such as Neue Vocalsolisten, Quatour Diotima, Klangforum Wien, Quartetto Prometeo, Ensemble Phace, OENM Salzburg, MDI ensemble, Schallfeld ensemble, Curious Chamber Players, Quatuor Tana, Vertixe Sonora ensemble, Ensemble L’Arsenale, Ensemble Multilaterale and in different parts of the world: Italy, Germany, Austria, France, England, Scotland, Belgium, Canada, USA, Brazil, Argentina and in several Festivals and venues, such as: Wien Modern, Milano Musica, Musikprotokoll, Konzerthaus Wien, Auditorium Parco della Musica, Impuls Festival, Darmstadt Ferienkurse, Festival Ensembles etc.

He has been Composer in residence in several Festivals and Institutions, between them: Villa Sträuli (Switzerland), Künstlerhaus Otte (Germany), Schloss Wiepersdorf (Germany), IZZM - Internationales Zentrum Zeitgenössischer Musik (Austria). Lorenzo has also been awarded various international prizes, including the Impuls Composition Competition (2015), the Valentino Bucchi Prize (2014), the Förderungspreis der Stadt Graz (2017) etc.

Some of his compositions are published by Universal Edition Wien, Sconfinarte, Col Legno label, Austrian Grammophone and EMA Vinci.

The poetry of Paul Celan and Francis Ponge, the works of Paul Klee and Jannis Kounellis, the philosophy of J-L. Nancy and Jacques Derrida have a crucial role in his music.

He graduated in Philosophy at the University Roma Tre of Rome with Paolo D’Angelo and Elio Matassi, with a dissertation on ontological thinking of Paul Klee.

After releasing two follow-up singles, I AM and GOLDEN DREAMS to his debut DEAR MOM - EP, Kevin California is back in his home country of Canada and has lifted our spirits with a new EP, TIMELESS. The title track sums up this wild adventure from country to country and the effects that following one’s dreams can have on the mind and essence of one’s self. Recording TIMELESS took place mainly in Montreal, with some parts recorded around Toronto, and the finishing mixes being completed in Los Angeles. Kevin California’s self-produced new work of art, TIMELESS honestly expresses himself and he admits, “I started writing these songs in one place, only to finish writing them in an entirely different environment”. There’s quite an obvious mashup of feelings and emotions that surface when listening to TIMELESS which reflects the writing process itself. Check out his new EP, TIMELESS.
