Ginevra Nervi is an unconventional presence in electronic music. Her creative research moves from the voice—treated as a living material to be shaped—to the composition of soundscapes that find their place both in the recording world and in cinema. Born in Genoa in 1994, she approached piano and guitar as a child before pursuing studies at the conservatory, where she discovered electronic music. Within the freedom of the medium, she found fertile ground for experimentation, drawing inspiration from the practices of avant-garde artists who shaped her creative outlook. Today, her work focuses on the exploration of vocal timbres and techniques of sound manipulation. Constant in both dedication and intensity, her production spans diverse territories, poised between experimental textures and compositions with a cinematic scope. As an author and composer for films, short films, documentaries, and television series, Ginevra Nervi is carving out a distinctive and personal path in contemporary electronic and sound art.
