Lopa | Enrico Coniglio
Enrico Coniglio (Venice, 1975) is an Italian sound recordist, sound artist and composer, who is interested in the aesthetics of landscape. He has a degree in Urban Planning and his sound exploration aims to investigate the loss of identity of places and the uncertainty about the evolution of the territory, especially about the Venetian lagoon. His discography of around 40 albums is released on labels such as Crónica, Gruenrekorder, Psychonavigation Records, Touch, among others. His live performances have taken place at the most important festivals in Europe, and alongside Leandro Pisano, he runs the Galaverna digital label since 2012.
