User:MARCELO ARMANI

Marcelo Armani was born on October 29, 1978 in the small town of Carlos Barbosa in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Your musical contact was made by his grandfather and father taught musician, John Armani.

Years later, Marcelo began studying drums and percussion, seeking and developing their own caring for the formation of sound that exists in each of the combination of sounds that are extracted from these instruments.

From the year 2008, Marcelo Armani started to develop a musical work focused on Sound Art, where the artist's concern is centered on a dialogue between the different sound materials and the way in which these sounds are related, are interpolated to the process of instrumental composition.

His musical work is focused mainly in improv music, which makes use of elements and processes of a concretè music, minimalist music, experimental music, free jazz and electroacustic music to create their works, in their compositions using conventional instruments such as drums, percussion, glockenspiel, clarinet and unconventional instruments, objects such as plastic pipes, metal and glass materials and other objects. These instruments are processed in real time through effects pedals, samplers and loops. So the artist creates a particular atmosphere and flexible specific to each one of its manifestations.

With this work done and has done projects with musicians from Brazil (Guilherme Darisbo), Argentina (Fernando Perales,Frederico Barabino, Subh, Leonel Kaplan, Luis Conde, Sam Natch, Grod Morel, Guido Flichman) and Chile (Lukax Santana, Raul Dias,Totto Alvarez, Ervo Perez ,Daniel Llermaly) during the years 2008 and before.

In parallel, Marcelo part of other projects which seeks to fuse his art with other artistic disciplines. One such project is the Human Feedback, developed in conjunction with visual artist Fabiano Gummo. Here all the music gains a visual record through the action painting. The result is a form of "score" artistic where patterns of musical notation as we know them gain a new symbology governed by the intensity of the colors and harmonized lines and textures through the hands of Fabiano Gummo. Marcelo also belongs to multimedia performance art group called Tentacle Collective Ensemble (TEC) that simultaneously binds visual art, video installations, music and body art. These performances are called "experiments" and are developed based on the improvisation of each of the four cells that make up the TEC.

Currently, Marcelo Armani continues to develop her work as a musician and performer, committed annually with his artistic production, composing soundtracks for independent films, animations and video art installations by visual artists. Live for art, find an exchange with other cultures, heat and vitality to print all the jobs with which the artist relates is a major objective.
