I did it in/for art galleries, electronic arts festivals, music labels, me, and brands such as MTV, BMW, Tudor-Rolex, Pirelli, Breil, Heineken, Ballantyne Cashmere, Vodafone, Arena and others..

I released records under several monikers (pirandelo, mou lips, symbiosis orchestra, clap rules) for labels based in Usa, France, Spain, Italy, Uk and Switzerland, with different projects from experimental to disco music.

My shows and installations are featureds by real time audio video interaction and has been presented at the main electronic arts festival around Europe and my releases are worldwide distributed.

MUSIC EXCERPTS

 

PRESS EXCERPTS FROM VARIOUS RELEASES REVIEWS

El de Andrea Gabriele siempre ha sido un plato para paladares exquisitos y atrevidos: ya sea en solitario o con alguno de sus proyectos (---, Pirandèlo o, sobre todo, Mou, Lips!), su presencia en un disco garantiza grandes dosis de elegancia y aventura.
la eterna búsqueda de lugares poco comunes.
GO-MAG (Spain), May 2009

A highly unusual, yet very memorable listen.
BOOMKAT (Uk), February 2009

Une electronica mélodique et électroacoustique du plus bel effet.
ETHERREAL (France), April 2009

Inconceivably fascinating songs. A gem that cannot be missed.
DE:BUG (Germany), March 2009

Cinematic atmospheres and of a strong impact.
ROCKERILLA (Italy), April 2009

Le travail de Symbiosis Orchestra tient du miracle fréquent, sinon permanent.
RIFRAF (Netherlands), March 2009

One truly inspired soundtrack.
THE MILK FACTORY, February 2009

An intriguing release that deserves massive attention.
WHITE_LINE, January 2009

Engaging, imaginative and peaceful.
LEICESTER BANGS (Uk), February 2009

Ce nouvel album reste très accessible et reflète à merveille cette magie sonore, ce délicieux équilibre entre électronique et acoustique que parviennent à mettre en place de façon improvisée et en public ces neuf musiciens. Un plaisir dont il serait dommage de ne pas profiter.
FRANCE-MUSIQUE / TAPAGE NOTTURNE, February 2009

Un résultat étonnant et plein de surprises.
LIABILITY, August 2009

Masullo und Gabriele haben sich aus ihren italienischen Wurzeln heraus offensichtlich transnational geeinigt, downbeatige orchestrale Miniopern zu schreiben, die einen schweben lassen.
DE:BUG (Germany), Sept. 2009

Environnement molletonné bucolique et scintillant des dorures d'un monde de lucioles, nous rencontrons d'étranges bestioles paisibles - multipliant les annonces de musique à la fibre verte.
GUMMI GUMMI (France), June 2009

Colpisce sopratutto la liquidità del suono, ovvero la capacità di fondere mondi musicali diversi evitando di cadere in luoghi comuni e scelte stilistiche inflazionate.
ROCKSTAR (Italy), July 2009

Gitarre und Percussion, Spielzeug- und Feldaufnahmen, Flöten, Pfeifen und analoge Synthesizer versetzen den Hörer in einen Zustand zwischen Regression und Weltflucht ins All, wobei das Bild dieses Weltraums vollkommen analog erzeugt und von plüschigen Außerirdischen bevölkert wird.
HELGA-ROCKT.DE (Germany), June 2009

Absolutely brilliant stuff
SMALLFISH (Uk), June 2008

The material ranges from relaxed to upbeat, and for every dream-like setting (the beatless lullaby “Fantastic Trees” and the lilting, synthetic wonderland “Outdoor Mantra”), there's a foray into Latin-tinged swing (“What's Love”).
TEXTURA (Canada), June 2009

A virtual beehive rampant with ideas and imagery, Gabriele’s obstreperous dynamics cohere the last ten years of computer-assisted sound design into a 46-minute menagerie of magic realism.
SIGNAL TO NOISE (Usa), November 2008

This is a thinking man's record, with crusty edges and warm insides.
IGLOO MAG (Canada), April 2005

The very lightness of touch that affords the tracks a sort of cutesiness also gives rise to a certain understatement and intelligence, a certain purpose and sense of possibility that results in fascinating patterns of overtones, which henceforth engage and otherwise tease the former in a rather festive manner.
EARLABS (Usa), March 2008

Un disque total qui recèle une multitude de textures bienfaisantes et thérapeutiques.
SONHORS (France), April 2005

8 tracce che vi daranno tranquillamente modo di metabolizzare il viaggio tra queste piccole galassie ricche di pianeti, di vita, di stelle, di colori e quant'altro.
KATHODIK (Italy), April 2005

Pirandèlo Suona is the best headphone album of the year by far.
NEW YORK ALTERNATIVE PAPER (Usa), March 2005

This is an absolutely gorgeous collection of nine top-shelf tracks that fuse the best elements of Fennesz, Oval, Mouse on Mars and Microstoria.
STYLUS MAGAZINE (www), March 2005

Non resta che farsi ammaliare dai bisbigli di Site Spesici Falena o risucchiare nel gorgo flautato e quasi psichedelico (!) di Life Could Be Beauty Enough. (8)
BLOW UP (Italy), April 2005
