Alessandro Paganelli

Alessandro Paganelli is a composer and guitarist based in Berlin, who has worked in the last years internationally in the field of composition and as a performer. He has written music for media, ballet, and received music commissions from various labels. His music explores the individual’s internal search for self: “When I compose, I always search for a key to access the place wherein a bridge between the sound and the listener is created, allowing communication between the composer, the performer, and the audience: a conversation that goes beyond words and enables us to feel a reflection of ourselves through sound.” In 2020 he was commissioned by the New York-based Ballet Company Movement Head Quarters with a score based on Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker, which was performed in 2021 in Brooklyn (USA). Five Movements, one of his last projects in collaboration with the dancer and choreographer Shannon Maynor (USA), features five compositions written for neoclassical dance and released between 2021/2022. Other commissions and collaborations include the label Ameritz Music-Great Britain; Ostereo -Great Britain; Believe Music-France; Quartet Berlin-Tokyo - Germany; Szilard Varnai (filmmaker) -Germany; Christopher Larson (filmmaker)-USA.
