About Silvia
Silvia Cignoli Classical and electric guitarist, experimental musician and sound artist who ranges from classical to contemporary music, from radical improvisation to avant- rock to her own musical creation that is a crossover between her academic background and the underground electronic scene. In her work, a refined timbre research on augmented guitar, keyboards, electronics, signal processors and sound objects builds soft atmospheres that sometimes tend to explosion with a continuous game between absence and presence. She is graduated in classical guitar at Scuola Civica Claudio Abbado (Milan) and at Italian Swiss Conservatory (with honors). She has released “The Wharmerall” (Pitch the Noise Records), “Digital memories from a suspended world” (Blue Spiral records) and “Shimmering Behaviour” (Industrial Coast, with IN/ELEKTRA duo). Her music was performed in Milan at Mudec Museum, Smart Guitar Fest (Città Sonora), Jazzmi, Electroclassic Fest; Alterazioni Fest (Lainate, IT) in Brescia (Spettro); in Bergamo (Inascolto); in Piacenza (Incò_ntemporanea); in Berlin (Madame Claude), Rome (Unarchive Fest, Elettra@ / Teatri di vetro, Klang), in Lodi (Il suono nell’istante Fest) ;“Oltre il senso” (Spaziomusica Fest, Sardinia), in Austria (Chilli Jazz), in Cyprus (Interfaces) and in Switzerland at Klang Bang Festival (Basel). In 2021 Wasteland ensemble commissioned and performed a piece of her in his concert season in Los Angeles. She’s also is a score composer for documentaries film and experimental short film and she is co-author of site-specific and intermedia projects. As an interpreter she has played in various concert seasons as Soundscape, Festival 5 Giornate, Rondò, Le strade del suono (IT), Archipel (CH) as soloist or with various contemporary music ensembles (Divertimento, Repertorio 0, Eutopia, Sinestesia, Fiarì, New Made) and she play as soloist at Verdi Conservatory (Milan).
