fernando manassero

Composer, performer and audiovisual artist based in Basel, Switzerland.

In his works he explores the boundaries of genres, creating unexpected crossovers with reminiscences of electronic and pop music.

His works are characterised for its iridescent textures, populated by communities of sound organisms. Throbbing rhythms, and colourful drones are also part of his sound palette.

In his pieces the listener dives into a dramaturgy of ephemeral gestures of great vitality, organised in translucent layers.

He works with a wide range of materials from prepared instruments, processed voices, objects, modular and digital synthesisers, to theatrical elements, and video.

He studied in Switzerland, France, USA, and Argentina.
