Chris Iemolo

[nach: http://www.chrisiemulo.net/biography/]

I was born in Siracusa, (ITA) on August 29th, 1978.

Since 1986 I have studied classic, electric and battente guitar, analysis, composition.

I have studied with Carlo Muratori, Andrea Quartarone, Domenico Caliri, Alessandro Sorrentino. Tristan Honsinger, Misha Mengelberg, Barre Phillips, Phil Milton, Markus Stockhausen. Gioacchino Palma.

I have taken a degree at the University of Art, Music, Cinema and Theatre in Bologna.

During a first ten years period, I played with several bands of noise and post- rock music. Afterwards, I spent two years working with a theatre company, composing music for three prose drama and experimenting with free improvisation.
Since 2003-04, I have definitely come to music improvisation, playing with Tristan Honsinger and with some musicians of the Bassesfere Collective. At the same time I started playing with Francesco Guerri (cello) in a duo, featuring the Anarcode project. I have also played with the Honsinger's octet Eau Naturelle sans gas.

In 2005-06 I have been living in both Berlin and Amsterdam, where I co-operated with several local musicians like the guitarist Olaf Rupp, my partner in creation for the Twelve's project, released and edited in 2007.
The drummer Tuomas Ojala was instead my partner for the Lawaai project.

Nowadays I'm living in Torino. However, I am still working in both Berlin and Bologna.
