Andrea Borghi

Andrea Borghi is an Italian sound artist and electro-acoustic composer, born in 1974 in Pietrasanta. His work deals with the link between sound and physical matter. He builds playable objects from stone, metal, fabric and other materials, plays them on prepared turntables, and also works with obsolete media such as VHS recorders. Andrea Borghi studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Carrara and took courses in electronic music, piano and composition at the Puccini conservatory in La Spezia. His Discomateria series uses discs of marble, glass, resin and metal as sound sources.
