- Biography
Simone Borghi (aka Morning Seance) is originally from Italy and has been living in Vienna for 13 years. He obtained a Master's degree in Philosophy of Art at the University of Pisa (2007) and a Bachelor's degree in Acousmatic Music Composition at the Conservatoire Royal de Mons under the direction of Annette Van de Gorne (2017). After the publication of his book on music/sound in the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze in 2008, he became involved in the Viennese art scene as a curator, performer and sound artist. For the past few years, he has focused exclusively on music and composition. As a curator, Borghi organized concerts of electroacoustic music and performances in the dark. As a sound artist, he mainly used his body and simple means to sketch what he calls "Acoustic Arte Povera". For his music, he works with various modern methods of sound synthesis, creating it rich in timbres, textures and movements. Occasionally he works as a DJ, creating his sets from a mixture of pulsating electronic music and acousmatic, electroacoustic compositions.
