Fausto Romitelli
Fausto Romitelli (1963-2004) was an Italian composer, born in Gorizia and died in Milan at 41. He studied with Franco Donatoni at the Accademia Chigiana in Siena and at the Scuola Civica in Milan, and from 1993 to 1995 worked at IRCAM in Paris. His music brings the distortion, saturation and amplified textures of psychedelic rock into writing for ensemble. The video opera An Index of Metals (2003) was one of his last works.
