Emanuele Porcinai is a composer and performer. His solo project WSR was first released on Contort Records and showcased on the main stage at the 2015 edition of Berlin Atonal festival.
He operates in the limbo between acoustic and synthetic music, humanising electronic sources while mutating sounds taken from real instruments and environments. His research and experimentation focuses on the possibilities given by self-built string instruments and their sonic physicality in both studio practice and improvisation/live performance.
