Federico Madeddu Giuntoli

Born in Pisa (Italy) in 1974 and raised in a conventional mid class italian family, Federico Madeddu Giuntoli did not receive any artistic education, apart from a vague influence from his father’s deep enthusiasm for cinema. 

Federico cultivated his interest for music by playing in local bands, while going through university studies which would ultimately lead him to a Phd in Neuroscience. He then abandoned the scientific carrier in disaffection with intensive vivisection practices, and in 2003 published his first album “Haiku” (CNI/Margarita) as part of italian electronic band DRM. The album, in which featured iconic german trio To Rococo Rot and italian duo Retina.it, was acclaimed by national press but so far has not been followed by a second one.

Federico then moved to Barcelona where he lived for almost 7 years, struggling for a living (as a language teacher) while working on solo projects. Though at times uncomfortable and rough, the stay resulted a key period, as Federico approached meditation and yogic spiritual practices which led him to renew, and in particular to refound, his focus on music and art.

This breakthrough and expansive stage is represented in Federico’s first photobook “Nuova gestalt” (a collection of short texts and meditative photographs taken in Seoul, Barcelona, Rome and tuscan countryside, and published by italian refined publisher Blisterzine in 2015), as well as in abundant production of so-called “oggetti sensibili” (“sensitive objects”), enigmatic and evocative pieces of art based on the assembling of fragments, debries and dismissed materials.

In 2022 Federico’s first solo album “The text and the form”, featuring legendary german e-poetess Antye Greie aka AGF and sophisticated japanese artist Moskitoo, is finally released by FLAU. Videos for the album singles “You are”, “Unconditional” and “Text and the form” are also shot by him.

Federico is currently finishing the production of his first solo italian album “Sonorizzazione per Nuova gestalt” and of his second photobook “Verso me”, while carrying on his commitment as an independent and internationally appreciated language teacher trainer.
