Adriano Zanni

Adriano Zanni (credited as Adrianno Zanni on CS079) is an Italian electronic musician working with a laptop, field recordings, found sound and sampling. In his wider artistic work, published as Adriano Zanni, he is also a photographer and sound artist based in Ravenna. His approach to phonography treats environmental recordings as expressive material rather than neutral documentation, placing audible traces of landscapes and everyday life in new musical relationships.

His recordings and installations frequently combine location sound with electronic instruments, analogue and digital processing, and carefully constructed layers of memory. Projects such as Ricordo Quasi Tutto (2019) reflect a practice in which landscapes, personal experience and abstract sound interact. His Creative Sources release takes recorded fragments as the basis for an imaginative form of electroacoustic composition.

On Creative Sources, Adrianno Zanni is credited on a constant migration (between reality and fiction) (CS079). The catalogue credits his field recordings, laptop, found sounds and sampling.
