Giacomo Lepri 

Somewhere between music improvisation, audio-visual composition, interaction design and academic research, let's say I am specialised in not being specialised. 

My work often involves the development of interactive musical systems and instruments. My research combines music performance, digital instruments crafting and human computer interaction. I explore sonic interaction design practice to play with the illusion of music and the magic of technology.

I often collaborate with artists from other disciplines such as dance, theatre, visual art and design. My skills are mainly related to the design of new interfaces for music performance, however I sometimes arrange audio-visual compositions and installations.
