Giulia Francavilla
Giulia Francavilla / Rae (L’Aquila, 1994) is an Italian composer, researcher, performer and sound designer based in Turin (IT). With a background in noiserock and punk, she obtained a Bachelor Degree in Electroacoustic Composition in 2018 at Conservatorio Giuseppe Verdi (Turin, IT), and a Research Master Degree in Sonology at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague (NL) in 2021. With a keen interest in creative coding and sound design, semi-generative systems and live performance, she bases her artistic practice and research on immersive sound and the listening experience. Influenced by the theoretical discourse on digital art, embodiment, deep-listening and perception, she develops her works in the field of algorithmic music, VR, multichannel and 3D audio. She uses coding as her main creative tool for sound design and composition, where the border between the two is blurred by a process-based approach.
Since 2016 she carries out a solo project with the moniker Giulia Rae, where she explores the intersections between algorithmic music and club-oriented electronic music, performing in several venues and independent festivals around Europe and collaborating with different artists. Her releases are on Light Item, Ovaal, Intersezioni, Solium Records, Guerrilla Bizarre.
In parallel, she works as composer and sound designer for video, theatre, dance and multidisciplinary projects.
