About
Fabrizio Nastari (b. 1990) is an Italian composer whose aesthetic is based on the use of ironic devices. He is currently pursuing a PhD degree in Artistic Research at the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre in Tallinn. At the same Academy, he is the designer and lecturer of the subject “Composing with 14th Century Technique”.
Using a broad
spectrum of techniques, to create contrast or to seek cohabitation for different musical textures, Fabrizio wants to reflect upon the absurdity of the time we live in and the complexity of the human being. Irony has a primary role as inspiration and as a rhetorical and compositional tool.
