Japanese composer Hideki Umezawa and Italian sound artist Giuseppe Cordaro are renowned for their innovative explorations in sound art. Umezawa, born in Gunma in 1986, holds an MFA in Intermedia Art from Tokyo University of the Arts and has been honored with the Luc Ferrari Presque Rien Prize. Cordaro, born in Agrigento in 1981, is a prominent figure in the Italian electroacoustic scene, adept in modular synthesis and field recording. Their collaborative album, "Terrarum Murmur," recorded on Stromboli Island in 2023, blends field recordings and modular synthesis to capture the subtle vibrations of geological time, inviting listeners into a meditative soundscape that bridges cultural and geographical divides.
