FIG. 01 — PORTRAIT, DOUBLE EXPOSURE
Davide Botta is a Swiss composer and sound artist whose research unfolds at the intersection of electronic music, sonic experimentation and audiovisual arts.
After releasing music as Endless Project Sound, he now works under his own name, in a solo project centred on silence and introspection: in a society dominated by constant noise, music becomes a space of suspension and inner inquiry.
Through a language that moves across ambient, techno and avant-garde electronics, he explores the relationship between sound, silence and perception, shaping immersive soundscapes in which the synthesizer becomes an instrument of emotional expression and inner investigation.
His practice spans from recorded composition to live performance, through to audiovisual works and interdisciplinary projects. Among these is ZERO, an ambient music project conceived as an experience of immersive listening and dialogue with the natural environment.
In 2022 he releases the album Introspective Life on the label Straight To Your Brain and performs at the La Quermaisse festival, part of the LongLake Festival in Lugano. In parallel, he develops his work in composing for images, writing music for the television series Sottosopra for Swiss Radio and Television (RSI) and contributing to the original score of the documentary La leggerezza sommersa, directed by Fulvio Mariani and released in Swiss cinemas in 2025.
His most recent research deepens the dialogue between music, image and emotional dimension, through collaborations and multidisciplinary productions. It is in this context that COSMONAUTA takes shape, an audiovisual project exploring the recognition of emotions and the passage through them, translating inner experience into an immersive sonic and visual language.
In 2026 he begins an artistic collaboration with harpist and composer Kety Fusco on MÜRMÜR – Ancient whispers in contemporary composition, a project interweaving linguistic traditions, cultural memory and electronic experimentation. Through the meeting of harp, voice and live electronics, the project reworks the sonic and linguistic heritage of the Alpine regions, giving rise to a new expressive dimension between tradition and the contemporary.
