About Us

L'Impero della Luce has chosen to focus its research on the original material of electronic music: the electric current.

​

Almost all electrical devices continuously emit sounds that we cannot perceive with our naked ears: it's the voice of the electromagnetic fields produced by windings or of the electrical dispersion emitted by the circuits. Lamps, fans, electric toothbrushes, power supplies, radio alarm clocks, CD players, televisions... every electric object has a silent voice. Through particular devices, L'Impero della Luce amplifies these sounds making them audible: drawn in purity, the electric current thus amplified is organized in real time to create compositions and sound narrations.

L'Impero della Luce considers the secret sounds of the daily electric soundscape a natural expression of the Anthropocene; implemented by technology, our listening can perceive the aesthetic dignity and wonder of sounds often considered unpleasant – such as the buzzing of neon or the hiss of our areas urban – which are transformed, by means of our intentional listening, into contemporary electric forests.
