Giulio Aldinucci (born in Siena, 1981) is an Italian composer. He has been active for years in the field of experimental electroacoustic music and in the research on soundscape.[1]

During the period 2006-2011 he has released three albums under the moniker Obsil (the word "Obsil" stands for observing silence[2]). His first album, Tarsia, has been released in August 2012 by the Anglo-Japanese label Nomadic Kids Republic (Home Normal sister label).

He composed four albums released by the labels Home Normal (UK/J), Time Released Sound (USA), Dronarivm (RUS) and Nomadic Kids Republic (UK/J). Furthermore, he made five EPs and three collaborative albums with Francis M. Gri, Francesco Giannico and Pleq published by KrysaliSound (I), Dronarivm (RUS) and Eilean (F).

In addition to his contribution to various collective works, he wrote music for theatre, video art, documentaries and short movies. His music is featured in many compilations, including Home Normal Elements, Sound at Work – electronic music and labour[3] created by Tempo Reale, the Italian electronic music research, production, and educational centre founded by Luciano Berio, and The Wire Tapper[4], among others.

In June 2013, taking their cue from Gianmarco Del Re’s column on Fluid Radio, which profiles the most interesting sound artists and musicians currently operating within the Italian electroacoustic scene,[5] Giulio Aldinucci and Attilio Novellino translated the Postcards from Italy project[6] into an album published on CD by Oak Editions, a live event at Cafe OTO (London)[7] and a special installation at SoundFjord Gallery (London)[8] by AIPS collective & Gianmarco Del Re. The Italian presentation of the Postcards From Italy project took place at Spazio O' in Milan on 1 February 2014[9]. The Postcards from Italy album was included on the 2013 "Top Ten Field Recording & Soundscape" by A Closer Listen.[10]

His third album, Spazio Sacro, was released in 2015 by the North American label Time Released Sound released. The seven tracks that compose Spazio Sacro (“sacred space” in English) are characterized by field recordings taken in places that are related to the idea of “sacred” in different ways. The starting point is a reflection on how human rites define new soundscapes (e.g. processions, architecture of churches and cathedrals or ruins of isolated mountain sanctuaries). The audio material has been manipulated and the music has been written in a constant dialogue with the artist's personal memories, especially those from childhood, when in his area (a small village in Tuscany, Italy) religious rites still marked the pace of the community life throughout the year.[11]

His composition Mute Sirens was awarded with an honourable mention at the 18th International Electroacoustic Composition Competition Música Viva 2017.[12]
