About

Hi, I’m Ivan Liuzzo. I’m a musician and designer whose work crosses composition, performance practice, sound culture, and visual storytelling. My practice sits at the intersection of acoustic music and interdisciplinary creation, and I’m driven by how space, crowd, and environment shape what we hear and how we perform. I’ve received commissions in Switzerland for contemporary projects, co-founded the collective Avidi Lumi, and led research on Balinese gamelan and related intercultural practices. I’m currently pursuing a Master’s in Digital Communication Environments at HGK Basel, and I’ve published an artist book and created interdisciplinary works including a documentary about Basel’s gamelan group.

I’m actively engaged in exploring sound, image, and space—working as a composer, performer, designer, and visual storyteller. My projects often blend acoustic practice with cross-disciplinary exploration, from field recordings and sound installations to documentary filmmaking and publication, with a focus on intercultural exchange and contemporary culture in Basel and beyond.
