Dario Boccato

Dario Boccato is a composer and musician based in Bologna. His first encounters with music began at the age of 15 when he started studying drums, which led him to obtain a Bachelor of Arts in Music Performance from the Music Academy of Bologna in 2019.

Later, his interest shifted toward musical composition, and he began studying Applied Music at the Conservatorio G.B. Martini in Bologna, where he developed a strong interest in electronic music.

Currently, he is involved in music production, live performances, sound design, and orchestration. Recently, his research has focused on modular synthesis.

Performance for clarinet and live electronics (2024)

Performers: Dario Boccato and Erica Rondelli

Voltage Controlled Entropy is based on the study of the control conditions that an acoustic instrument can have within a modular synthesis system.

Essentially, there is a compositional aspect that defines the architecture of the system, outlining the synthesis methods and how they interact in relation to the musician’s gestures, and there is an improvised component related to the real-time modification of the sound timbre. The combination of these two elements creates a sound environment that becomes increasingly disordered and unstable until it is entirely self-generating.
