Bianchi’s compositional work began with reel-to-reel tape recorders and first generation analog synthesizers. His early work utilized taped electronic music integrated with large acoustic ensembles, and initial experiments with large-scale sound installations. With over 100 compositions from that period, Bianchi has received international recognition and numerous awards and honors for his work. In 1988, Bianchi began collaborating with David Smith on interactive virtual orchestra design. That pioneering work has resulted in over 50,000 performances world wide including work on Broadway, London’s West End, Cirque du Soleil, and numerous tours in America and Europe. In 2004, Bianchi returned to work on large-scale sound designs. His current work is a 610-speaker sound design installation for the Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland. The work is called Testimony.
