Portraits

Stanislas Pili was born in Sardinia and has been living in Bern since 2017. He dedicates himself to projects in the context of contemporary music, sound art, music theatre and improvisation.

He works as a performer and composer without putting any barrier between the roles he takes on. In his work, sonic and visual elements are composed in parallel and freely used as tools for the creation. On stage there is no hierarchy between the media: prepared instruments, objects, electro-acoustic devices, video projections and lights are protagonists together with the performer.

After working as a percussionist in Italy and the Netherlands, he studied Composition and Pedagogy at the HKB.

He performed in venues like Manifeste IRCAM Paris, Jardins Musicaux de Cernier, Gare du Nord Basel, SMC Lausanne, Sonic Matter Zürich, Naxoshalle Frankfurt, Echoraum Wien and Musikfestival Bern among others.

Other musicians have performed his compositions in festivals like BAM Berliner Festival für aktuelles Musiktheatre, Archipel Genève, IGNM Zürich and Bozar Brussels.

In parallel to his artistic career he is part of the board of IGNM Bern and he has also worked for institutions such as Concours Nicati and Hochschule der Künste Bern.
