Bio

 

Boi Tata (b. 1998) is the alias of Italian electronic composer, sound designer, and researcher Jacopo Matteo Contesini. His work explores the intersection of sound, technology, and philosophy—focusing on audio degradation, immersive environments, and the relationship between algorithmic structures and human perception.

Graduated with a Master’s degree in Electronic Music and Installation Arts from the Saint Louis College of Music in Rome, he combines academic research and experimental practice. His studies on the robustness of audio analysis algorithms under degradation—using tools like Sonic Visualizer and the Audio Degradation Toolbox—highlight a deep investigation into the transformative potential of sound.

As Boi Tata, he creates compositions, sound installations, and live performances that channel inner dialogues into sonic architectures. His music balances structure and improvisation, fusing electronic layering with analog textures and spatialized audio.

In 2023, he released Center Point on Bandcamp, exploring immersive electroacoustic forms.
In 2024, he co-founded Nell’Etere, a label committed to non-commercial, boundary-free sound exploration. The same year, he released Letters from Avalon, a reflective and detailed album of IDM-influenced textures, and contributed a track to Condensa, Nell’Etere’s debut VA compilation.

Jacopo is an active member of Collective Mood, organizing events and supporting experimental scenes in Rome. His performances often integrate generative processes, algorithmic composition, and multichannel sound diffusion to dissolve the boundary between listener and space.

His approach to music is a continuous journey—one without fixed destinations—where each sonic exploration expands self-awareness and reshapes the relationship between sound, body, and perception.
