Davide Luciani is an artist, electronic music composer and producer based in Berlin.
Spanning sound installations, electroacoustic music, multimedia installations, sculpture, and visual art, his practice encompasses a broad range of disciplines . His visual and installation works aim to stress the means of affected reality through the entanglement of mixed-media spaces. Luciani's work is often a speculation on the element of fiction, sonic-visual intra-activity and the aesthetic knowledge which is derived as foundational tools to social-emotional exchange and transformation. Luciani's sonic and music research is consequentially rooted into different processes of sound sculpting techniques, amplification processes and the opaque notion of instrument. Using post-production techniques as performative tools, Luciani crafts a harshness that is both textural and rhythmic, formal and improvised. Alongside his solo works, Luciani has collaborated on projects with sound artists Fabio Perletta, Jorge Quintela, Jordan Juras, Stine Janvin among others and he co-founded the dub-noise band Forster with musician Mitchell Keaney.
His work has been presented in various contexts such as the Venice Biennale (IT), Ultima Festival (NO), Institute for Computer Music and Sound Technology at ZHdK (CH), Triennale Milano (IT), and CAAA Guimarães (PT).
In 2014, together with Fabio Perletta, he co-founded Mote, an interdisciplinary studio whose practice addresses sound and vision. He is also part of the publishing collective Stray Signals and the event series called Sturmundrang, dedicated to extreme practices in sound. In 2023, he graduated with an MA in Sound Studies and Sonic Arts at Universität der Künste in Berlin. He hosts "Tamer Tensor," a radio show on Noods Radio.
