Giulia Francavilla (she/her) is an Italian composer, researcher and performer based in Turin. With a musical background in noise rock and punk, she graduated in 2018 with a bachelor's degree in electroacoustic composition from the State Conservatory of Music »Giuseppe Verdi« in Turin. In 2021, she completed her master's degree at the Institute of Sonology in The Hague, where she is currently a research associate. Francavilla's artistic research is based on immersive sound, listening and perception and is mainly influenced by the theoretical discourse on embodiment, human-machine interaction and acoustic ecology. With coding being her most important creative tool, her works belong to the categories of algorithmic music, VR and spatial sound.

In 2022, Francavilla worked as an artist in residence in the studio of 3D Sound at the University of Paris VIII and at iMAL Art Center for Digital Cultures & Technology in Brussels with the Kinetic Sound System. Under the alias Giulia Rae, she explores the intersections between algorithmic music and club-oriented electronic music, performing throughout Europe. She released her music on Søvn Records, Light Item and Ovaal, among others. In parallel, she works as a composer and sound designer for multidisciplinary projects.
