Eniac

Eniac is a musical project by Fabio Battistetti, started in 1998 as lo-fi experimentation, as a research in the wellknown
(samples) with the purpose of trasforming (distorsions) and re-elaborate it, a technique that Eniac
describes as: “something new from something who isn’t”.
The project has evolved to a more concrete and musical structure, and today is a constantly evolving set of
electro music, from melodic glitch to the explosion of rhythms.



Chronology :

In the spring of 2004, Eniac has been selected to represent Piemonte's electronic music in the world trough
Piemonte Groove(http://www.piemontegroove.com).

In November 2006, he founded (with Daniele Pagliero): Chew-Z, anetlabel that support musicians around
electronics and experimentals: http://www.chewz.net

Eniac has a musical alter ego, For For A (44A): an ambient noise project inspired by the topic of the fall of the
today's world, a conceptual project, and a physical one, at the same time (fot the sounds).

Eniac it works also in cinematic projects: in 2001 he has been realized the first audio/video set: “Blowed Up” that
is a project of re-elaboraion of the images of a movie, revisited by the eye of a videocamera. In the spring of
2005 he has participated to the event: In/Off Camera (Cafe Liber - Turin), doing a live soundtrack of two acts
from the film: Berlin, Die Symphonie Einer Grossstadt (Berlin, Symphony of a Great City), Walther Ruttmann,
1927; the result of this work is a dvd: a private press. He worked on a live set, with a slideshow on the topic of
moving by train, inspired by the album The Wagon.

Today, he works on a performance project (real time audio-video-dance processing), with Headvision /
Roberto Zitolo (videomaker) and Nadessja (dance performer): B-Light Project.

Eniac had started playing live in the 1999 and is still active right now, around the dance floor and the
experimental scene. Eniac’s live set is usually a special show every time different and always evolving in a new
form.

Eniac is a single person and several tools: a computer most of the times, an old casio keyboard and an
acoustic broken guitar sometimes...
