Riccardo Castaldi
He began his career working with Studio Azzurro as a sound designer and composer for the soundtracks of art installations, mainly using concrete sounds and sound spatialization as treatment techniques. He then went on to work as a multimedia and sound designer, first as a founding partner of Ennezerotre studio and currently as the founder of theBuss (theBuss.net). He is also a lecturer at the European Institute of Design (IED) and occasionally at NABA and Domus Academy, where he promotes the narrative use of sound in video and film.
Passionate about electronic music and analog synthesis, in recent years he has developed a strong inclination for modular synthesizers, attracted by the infinite possibilities of experimentation and design approach that these instruments offer, in a continuous process of searching for a balance between man and machine. In the field of exhibition design, he has received prestigious awards, including a Compasso d’Oro and a Grammy Design Award.
