Alfredo Genovesi

In Spring 07 Alfredo relocated to Amsterdam where he absorbed himself into the free improvisation scene as well as becoming an active member of Magpie Music/Dance Company.

His versatility as a sonic improviser has seen him contribute to a diversity of art forms; He has worked within theatre (www.albassamtheatre.com), dance (Katie Duck), television (ie: ’Inside Clouds’/BBC2 doc, ’Urban Improviser’ /Channel 4 portrait), film, animation, performance art installations (ie; live performance in Peter Coffin’s greenhouse for ’Beating About The Bush’, South London Galllery) & educational workshops as well as doing his own live solo performances. Comissioned to compose a 45 minute work entitled ’North Sea’ for the Resonance FM Radio Orchestra. Also ’Space Soon’: The Resonance Radio Orchestra, under the conduction of Alfredo Genovesi, provide an audio backdrop to an interview between Lembit Opik MP (chairman of the Joint Parliamentary Committee for Near earth Collision & Cheeky Girl shagger) & Nick Spall (see photo album).
