Italian composers and multi-instrumentalists Roberto Musci and Giovanni Venosta are known for their boundary-defying blend of experimental, ambient, and world music. Drawing from Musci’s extensive ethnomusicological field recordings and Venosta’s background in jazz and contemporary composition, their collaborations—most notably *Water Messages on Desert Sand* (1987)—explore the intersections of technology, tradition, and improvisation. Their work has been highly regarded for its inventive textures and global sensibility, influencing generations of artists in avant-garde and electronic music circles.
