Claudio F Baroni

Claudio F.Baroni is an active composer specializing in experimental music. His work can be described as a systematic approach to exploring the nature of sound, timbral qualities, and the strength of materials. In the last years, his music has focused on physical resistance, for which he collaborates closely with the musicians with whom he works. Baroni scrupulously avoids making specific aesthetic or cultural references in his composition, where he creates a closed sound universe with his own vision and physicality.                      

Baroni lives and works in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
