Roberto Musci is an experimental composer, multi-instrumentalist and sound artist whose practice moves across field recordings, electroacoustic composition, non-Western musical traditions, archival memory and digital imagination.
Across albums, soundtracks, live performances and visual projects, his work creates imaginary geographies in which ritual, technology and modes of listening converge.
In recent years, he has expanded his artistic research into generative artificial intelligence, exploring the relationship between sound, image, memory, non-Western cultures and synthetic imagination.
These works approach A.I. as a contemporary medium for transforming archives, myths, field recordings and visual fragments into new hybrid forms of perception and storytelling.

Roberto Musci & Giovanni Venosta
The album Water Messages on Desert Sand, created with Giovanni Venosta, was nominated for a Grammy Award in 1987 and remains a landmark work combining field recordings, electronics and non-Western musical materials.
This work explores the meeting point between ethnographic sound, experimental composition, electronics and archival sound materials.
Sonic memory, ritual atmospheres, collected sounds and hybrid musical forms recur across different projects.
from "Melanesia"
“Melanesia” is an experimental electroacoustic work based on plunderphonics, combining traditional ethnic music from the Pacific islands of Melanesia with contemporary chamber music, musique concrète, electronics and environmental recordings.
A recent work continuing Musci’s exploration of experimental sound, electronics, memory, digital culture and imaginary landscapes.
