(Formia, 1990). Domenico Vellucci is a composer and saxophonist whose artistic research investigates the deconstruction of instrumental gestures, the amplification of subtle acoustic sounds, and the phenomenology of listening. He graduated with top honors in Saxophone from the "San Pietro a Majella" Conservatory in Naples and subsequently earned a degree in Composition Summa cum Laude from the Pontifical Institute of Sacred Music in Rome (2025).

Selected for the 2024 International Workshop for Young Composers by the Divertimento Ensemble, he has since established an active collaboration with the group. His compositions are featured in prominent festivals such as Festival Concertando (Rome) and Rondò (Milan), and have been performed by internationally renowned artists and ensembles, including Mi-Sa Yang, Jozef Luptak, Berardo di Mattia, Elio Marchesini, Carlotta Raponi, and the PIMS vocal ensemble. In 2026, he was a finalist for the Moliner International Percussion Composition Award.

In 2026, he served as guest composer at Jacques Zafra’s Open Composition Studio and published an article on his research work Fiat Lingus in the online journal D.A.T. Il Sileno.

As a performer, he operates at the intersection of written scores and radical improvisation, collaborating with artists such as Roberto De Simone, Luc Houtkamp, Mario Gabola, Julius Gabriel, Daniele Sepe, Asger Thomsen, Marco Colonna, Ermanno Baron, Alessandro Ciccarelli, and Cristian Maddalena and Klimt 1918. He has performed at major institutions and festivals including Umbria Jazz, JazzFlirt, Teatro San Carlo, and experimental platforms like Radici Sonore, Grido, and Dei Suoni. Since 2024, he is a member of the improvisation collective Atman.
