"Fantastic work. (...) Sounds almost like a musique concrète collage
made from Folkways LP about the removal of the larynx. But it's not!"

"She embodies a noisy experimentation, in a crude art without concessions"

"A very strong experimental vocalist"

Alessandra Eramo (IT/DE) is a Berlin-based artist, vocalist, performer and composer whose work spans performance and installation, sound poetry, video and drawing, exploring the latent acoustic territories of the voice and the socio-political nature of noise. She develops multimedia art projects and live-performances that address questions of the body, memory, migration and ecology, often incorporating participatory actions, field recordings, site-specific methods, and experimental approaches to composition. A central focus of her practice is the exploration of the voice in all its forms and implications across sonic and visual contexts, blurring the boundaries between genres and traditions. Her current research delves into the materiality of the voice, the tension between vocality and writing, and the performative rituals of sound.

She was trained in classical singing, piano and music theory since an early age, she studied at the Academy of Fine Arts Brera in Milan and Stuttgart and completed her Master's Degree in Performance Studies at the Faculty of Philosophy at the Ca' Foscari University in Venice.
