Vito Lucarelli is an electronics, sound and music enthusiast based in Mparntwe (Alice Springs).
The majority of their career has been spent as a studio and mix engineer, capturing and refining recordings for artists, film, radio and themself. More recently they have settled as a studio artist at Watch This Space and continue to refine their work in sound design and composition.
Vito also produces and performs their own music under the name V.N. Lucarelli. This music is in the realm of ambient / experimental / melodic-noise and it utilises analogue and digital modular synthesisers to create emotive and dynamic soundscapes.
They have also begun applying this knowledge to the field of electronics. Most of their electronics work to date has been largely around analogue synthesis. Generally, with the intention of creating analogue circuits that either produce or manipulate sound.
Vito is self-taught in this discipline and is firmly of the belief that the secrets of the world are hidden inside YouTube videos and online forums.
