https://soundcloud.com/thisismartenot, pseudonym of Simone Gottardi, is an Italian electronic music composer, based in Turin. His compositions, exclusively computer-based, are founded on a minimal vocabulary and instrumental apparatus and, aiming to exploit the entire musical spectrum, they orbit around a solid sound body, which has as its main source a monophonic synthesizer that he developed in Max/ MSP and gives a precise timbre direction with radical aesthetic constraints. The feature that unites his tracks is the dichotomous alternation of claustrophobic patterns that evoke the rigid molecular structures of plastic materials in contrast to freer and more irregular sections where the musical fabric dissolves and opens up to airy and rarefied scenarios.
Martenot launches his own collective and curatorial project called https://soundcloud.com/neanche-per-sogno-records publishing his debut EP called Sfilate Spaziali in September 2022.

“What was a crucial sound experience in your life?”
The experience that changed me first as a listener and then as a composer was when, studying John Cage during my first class in composition of concrete music at the Conservatory of Trento, I was asked to use poor common objects not traditionally conceived as musical instruments, considering any noise produced as a potential vehicle of musical meaning. The result was awful, but it opened me up to sound in all its facets.
