My Background
Emmanuel Spinelli is a sound artist and music lecturer. He has been involved in electroacoustic composition, live electronics and free improvisation since 1998. His work has been presented around Europe, the US and Canada, and Footsteps in the Wind, a soundscape study of Krakow and Auschwitz, won the C.C.P. and the George Blunden travel awards. Spinelli completed a PhD in Sonic Arts in 2016. Through the years, he has developed an interest in issues related to soundscape transformation, psycho-geographies, manipulations of historical data, sonic remains and memory,
particularly in relation to post-war Europe. His research revolves around the notion of acoustic phenotypology, that is to say the perception of individual identities through sound. All his work, at one level or another, explores human presence and history, through the cognition of the disembodied voice and the sonic environment. Spinelli is a fellow of the Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce (RSA).
