Fernando Garnero

Born in 1976 in Rosario (Argentina), Fernando Garnero is a composer.

Trained in composition by Éric Gaudibert and Ivan Fedele and at IRCAM (2008/09 curriculum), he was awarded a scholarship by the State of Geneva and the Patiño Foundation. He has received commissions from the French Ministry of Culture, Radio France, the Venice Biennale, the Royaumont Foundation, the Archipel Festival, Pro-Helvetia and the Nicati Foundation. He is a founding member and co-artistic director of Ensemble Vortex, and Associate Artist at the BIFEM Festival.

His project at Villa Medici is entitled Musique au-delà du son (Music beyond sound). This hybrid music project responds to a logic of assembling and manipulating objects of culture, malleable and charged with meaning, ready to be recontextualized over and over again, and which we might grasp as fragments, remains, traces, reliefs. Her project attempts to explore various modes of articulation of these recomposed fragments through a series of audio-visual, mixed-media and performative works.
