Edoardo Petracci is an Italian composer and performer who blends the elegance of classical tradition with electronic and experimental sounds. He began his first steps in music at a young age by studying piano, an instrument that accompanied him throughout his classical studies in double bass at the Conservatory. During this period, his passion for writing began to take shape, leading him to seek his artistic voice through composition.
From his music emerge intimate and immersive soundscapes, with a strong focus on timbral and sonic research. Active between contemporary music and multimedia arts, he has collaborated with international artists and created performances ranging from concerts to installations, theater and cinema. His research makes him an original voice in today’s musical landscape, able to intertwine innovation and classical roots.
Edoardo Petracci (b. 1992) graduated in 2016 from the Conservatory of Fermo with a major on classical double bass, later specializing in composition at the Conservatory of Perugia (2019). He subsequently completed his studies at the Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia in Rome, focusing on film scoring.
His debut solo album By This Window blends acoustic instruments, analog machines and electronic textures, shaping soundscapes where tradition meets the modern.
