AI Forum 2023, Milan (IT)
Gianluca Iadema presented an audiovisual version of the work ever.rave at Cinema Massimo in Turin, Italy, on the occasion of the 9th edition of the Seeyousound International Music Film Festival.
Following his debut album Aphàiresis on Mille Plateaux, Gianluca Iadema releases his second album, ID[entità]. The record stems from an ongoing collaboration with Swiss artist Franziska Baumann, blending vocal performance with experimental electronic music.
“ID[entità] blurs the boundaries and disturbs our senses, gliding over disturbingly gentle micro-tones, playing with the combinations and possibilities between sounds of antinomic origins yet perfectly harmonious. The melodies explode in labyrinths of unpredictability, fragile matter of mysterious beauty, echoes of tomorrows combining the unexpected and the indefinable. Superb.” — Roland Torres, Silence and Sound
“A masterpiece of today’s electronic music. I don’t hide my initial preference for the second part, but the first one is increasingly captivating to me, and I now place it on the same level (for example, #2, astounding!): Franziska Baumann’s vocal performance is of a profoundly moving beauty, magnified by Gianluca Iadema’s work.” — Inactuelles

Wien Modern Festival 2020
Recontemporary, the first space in Italy dedicated exclusively to new media art, presents “un_i[n]verso”, the first solo exhibition of the Italian artist Gianluca Iadema.
“To understand, or rather to hear Un_i[n]verso it is necessary, once again, to think of it in its totality: concretes and transparencies, visual and physical sculptures, silences, and sounds. Everything is part of everything, it’s container and content together, it transforms and shapes itself based on how other things move around. It is not possible, and I do not think it is right, to try to trace the fuse that gives rise to the fire, precisely because there is no hierarchy between the elements or an angle from which to look towards Un_i[n]verso. You have to walk a small road in Sanpietrini just below the Mole, cross the threshold of the tunnel, and let the sensations have the upper hand.” (Margherita Paglionico, on t-mag, Apr 14, 2022)
Italian composer Gianluca Iadema won first prize at the 2020 international composition competition Franz Schubert und die Musik der Moderne in Graz, in the “Lied Duo” category, with the composition Wirbel.
Inspired by a breadth of elements reaching from club culture to Glitch over to Brahms, Gianluca Iadema has created an hour-long piece split into thirteen segments, following a carefully conceived dramaturgy. He modulates different variations of melodic forms, gestures and visual motifs, crosses and counterpoints them, interlaces interludes. The piece takes on theatrical dimensions and incorporates an array of musical and visual material, which reveals itself, sometimes in its entirety, sometimes in small parts, and reaches new meaning in a cyclical and transductive movement.
