Enrico Coniglio (born in Venice in 1975) is an Italian environmental sound recordist, sound artist, and composer whose work is grounded in a long-term investigation of landscape aesthetics. He holds a degree in Town and Country Planning from IUAV University of Venice, where he developed an interest in processes of spatial transformation, the erosion of place identity, and the uncertainties of territorial evolution, with particular attention to the Venetian lagoon.

His practice encompasses a broad range of influences, weaving together ambient and drone traditions, modern classical sensibilities, and field recording into a coherent sonic language.

Central to his work is an ongoing inquiry into the relationship between sound and the representation of reality. This has led to the adoption of the concept of “topophony” and to the elaboration of the “marginal area” as a critical framework for reading and interpreting the contemporary soundscape.

Coniglio’s activity unfolds along two intertwined yet distinct trajectories: on one side, a compositional approach focused on texture, atmosphere, and immersive listening; on the other, a research-based engagement with acoustic environments, where field recording operates as an observational and interpretative tool. Although these paths are at times intentionally separated, they remain in constant dialogue, giving rise to a practice that moves fluidly between composed sound and an attentive listening to the world.

His works have been featured by esteemed labels such as Crónica electronica, Gruen Rekorder, Taalem, Fear Drop/Fario, Glacial Movements, Hypnos, Fluid Audio, Dronarivm, 13/Silentes, Midira records, Kohlhaas, Touch/Spire, Infraction, 2020 Editions, Superpang.

Throughout his career, he has performed at numerous venues, festivals, and art galleries, including notable appearances at Planet Love (Dublin), The Big Chill (Birmingham), Hydrophonia (Barcelona 2010), Flussi (Avellino), Teatro Fondamente Nuove (Venice), Café Oto (London), O’ (Milan), Störung (Barcelona), Liminaria (Benevento), Aquamatrix (Avellino), Stazione Topolove (Topolò), DOM Cultural Centre (Moscow), Forma (Udine), Nub project space (Pistoia), Angelica (Bologna), Klang (Rome), Ocean space (Venezia).
