Samuele De Marchi - Musician & Animator
My poetry is intended to bring to light, through music, images, visions and dreams of past experience, archetypes. I aim to confusion or a combination of all the arts, as things are mixed up in real life.
I was born on November 23, 1981 in Luino.
By the age of 12 years studying classical guitar. I’m certified as Sound Engineer and Multimedia Designer for the EU Countries. In 2006 I graduated in Ethnomusicology from DAMS (Disciplines of Arts and Music) at the University of Bologna. In 2008 I completed his doctorate degree in Disciplines of Music. In 2009 I enrolled at the Academy of Digital Arts in Florence, where in 2012 I graduated in Film Animation.
Since 2006 I composed electronic music, scored short films and silent films and participating in various festivals.
In 2013 I created the comic strip The Unemployed.
In 2019 I created the Kymatic project, with the intention of realizing musical animations on famous abstract paintings, inspired by Malevich’s works. I thought the geometric shapes were perfect for representing individual musical instruments. I wanted to create short geometric orchestras that could be eternally looped, give life to paintings. Some of these works are now in important private collections in the United States and Europe.
In 2024 I published my first novel Il grande gelo
