Adriano-clemente

Electronic musician and sound designer Adriano Clemente was born in Italy in 1982. His first approach to electronic music production was in 1996, when he bought his first analog synthesizer. After several years making computer music and using hardware such as samplers, synths, and drum machines, he discovered Ableton Live in 2005 - which completely changed his approach to music production and live performance.

Years of classical piano studies at the conservatory lead to the discovery of different ways to express his creative power with computer music. In the following years he graduated in composition and computer arrangement at the Saint Louis College of Music and at the same time he took a Psychology degree at La Sapienza University of Rome. In 2008 Adriano won a scolarship for the European Institute of Design (IED), and because of his talent he worked as an assistant for the Sound Design course coordinator, and was involved in the whole system of events connected with FEFE visual magazine and IED. During this period he developed RadioFEFE.com with his team and with Luigi Vernieri as Art Director. He started teaching advanced performance techniques, organized general courses and gave classes on audio/video production with Ableton Live in Rome, before relocating to New York City in 2010.

Adriano performs with his electronic duo and as a DJ. He also writes music for films, and his attention is always focused on the connection between audio and video production. In addition to teaching, he is working on a brand new project called New York: a sound library...coming soon.
