Bio
Jacopo Matteo Contesini alias Boi Tata (b. 1998) is an electronic music composer, sound designer, and researcher exploring the intersection of sound, technology, and philosophy. His work investigates the perceptual and structural aspects of sound, focusing on audio degradation, immersive sonic environments, and the relationship between algorithmic processes and human perception.
With a Master’s degree in Electronic Music and Installation Arts from Saint Louis College of Music, Jacopo combines academic research with artistic experimentation. His studies on the robustness of audio analysis algorithms under degradation conditions, using tools such as Sonic Visualizer and the Audio Degradation Toolbox, reflect his ongoing interest in the transformative potential of sound.
Under the alias Boi Tata, he navigates between composition, sound installations, and live performance, seeking to transform inner dialogue into sonic landscapes. His music balances structure and improvisation, embracing both precision and organic evolution.
In 2023, he released his album Center Point on Bandcamp, a work that merges electronic layering with intricate sound textures.
In 2024, he co-founded Nell’Etere, an independent label dedicated to artistic freedom and non-commercial musical distribution.
He challenges traditional industry models, offering a space for exploratory and unbound sonic expression.
That same year, he contributed a track to Condensa, the label’s first Various Artists compilation, expanding his sonic exploration further.
Jacopo is also an active member of Collective Mood, a collective organizing events in Rome to support local and international experimental artists. His live performances and sound installations often integrate algorithmic composition, generative audio processes, and spatialized sound, creating immersive environments that dissolve the boundaries between listener and space.
His research extends to One Place, soundscape project that reconstructs new sonic environments by blending field recordings from real-world locations. By merging these recordings into hybrid spaces that do not exist in nature, One Place questions the boundaries between reality and perception. The project suggests that if a space can be perceived, experienced, and emotionally internalized, it becomes real—alive through sound systems, forming new, previously unheard environments.
His approach to music is a continuous journey—one without a fixed destination, where each sonic exploration fosters self-awareness, collective experience, and the redefinition of artistic perception.
