Bob Meanza
Bob Meanza is the electronic alias of Michele Pedrazzi, a media artist and electronic musician born in Verona, Italy, currently living in Berlin. He has released contemporary compositions ("Three Diamonds Ohms", Phonoethics 2013), played in avant-garde jazz bands (Echo Chamber, "Antinodal", Aut Records 2019) and performed solo (based on "OU", Aut Records 2015). Michele holds a PhD title in Semiotics at Umberto Eco's SSSUB in Bologna, and in his research, he is interested mostly in music improvisation, sound art, audio design and video installations.
Machine rituals occupy an important place in his sonorities, their presence varying from generative sounds to experimental patterns created with the help of algorithms, sometimes deliberately letting the machine choose the rhythm and frequencies of the notes, and following it by choosing the musical intervals. An experimental approach where the human artist enters in dialogue with the machine, pursuing sounds from the future that could intersect with frequencies from the past.
