Bruno Gussoni was born in 1951 and started playing improvised music in the late '60s. Initially influenced by the music by Ornette Coleman and other Free Jazz musicians as well as by the creative musicians of the African-American avant-garde (especially from the Chicago scene). During that time he played with musicians such as Don Cherry, Jeanne Lee, Wadada Leo Smith, Peter Kowald and others. As he matured his language, he became more and more close to Free Improvisation, the free improvisation, not idiomatic, that today practice totally and has played in several concerts in Italy and in Europe with many of the most representative international improvisers. For some years he has also collaborated with the Australian videomaker Jutta Pryor as a sound artist. His main instruments are the transverse flutes (usually plays the flute transverse in C, the flute high, the flute low and the octave ) this allowed him to develop a unique language and personal. He is not interested in the use of flutes as "academic instruments" and has abandoned traditional techniques in favour of the so-called extended techniques, which allow him to produce multiple sounds, sounds of indeterminate height, harmonics, microtones, percussive key sounds, all combined with breath and silence, in relation with the other improvisers and with the acoustic space.
