About

Lucio Tasca (he/him) is a Berlin-based composer and guitarist, born in Palermo, Sicily.

His music explores micro-differences, subtle instabilities, and the natural imperfections that arise in performance, treating them as emergent ornamentation, rather than as flaws. His pieces unfold slowly, with a focus on detail, repetition, and the expressive weight of small deviations.

His pieces have been performed by Francesco Dillon, Elision, Ensemble Impronta, Funktion, Marco Fusi, GBSR, Alexina Hawkins, International Contemporary Ensemble, Jean-François Laporte, Kate Ledger, Ligeti Quartet, Alex Raineri, Christopher Redgate, Dejana Sekulic, OHHe Supercluster, TAK, Philip Thomas and Kathryn Williams among others.

Performances have been given in venues and festivals such as Bendigo International Festival of Exploratory Music (BIFEM), Brisbane Music Festival, Cafè Oto (London), Constellation (Chicago), Deep Minimalism Festival 2.0 (Southbank Centre, London), KM28 (Berlin), Mixtur (Barcelona), Orgelpark (Amsterdam), Splendor (Amsterdam) Three Choirs Festival (Worchester) and many more.

Recent album releases include One Breath for solo Flute in Kathryn Williams CD Coming up for Air (Huddersfield Contemporary Records), and as guitarist, music by Ryoko Akama, recorded with Apartment House (Another Timbre) and music by Federico Pozzer (Another Timbre).

He holds a PhD from the University of Huddersfield, where he studied under the supervision of Aaron Cassidy and Bryn Harrison.
