about

Giulia Vismara, born in Venice and based in Brussels, is an electroacoustic composer, sound artist and researcher. Space is the key to her work — the matrix that shapes the music as well as the sounds she composes.

She is concerned with the organic nature of sound and with textures that combine concrete and synthetic elements. Her work ranges from electroacoustic music and spatial composition to sound installation, audiovisual work, and sound for theatre and film. Through her research she explores space in architectural, urban, philosophical and technological contexts, with a focus on spatialisation methods and 3D audio.

She holds a PhD in Architecture and Design Science from IUAV University of Venice, a degree in Musicology from the University of Bologna and a master in Music and New Technologies from the Conservatory of Florence, with an Erasmus period at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague. She was a postdoctoral researcher at the Royal Academy & Conservatory of Antwerp, lecturer in Création Sonore at the Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts in Brussels, and artistic curator at Musica Impulse Centrum. She is a Fellow Associate of the Sound/Image research group at the University of Greenwich and co-founder of SSH! Sound Studies Hub.

Her work has been presented at the Biennale di Venezia, ZKM, MAXXI, Bozar and CTM, among others, across Europe and North America.
