Alteranima is Elda Di Matteo, a musician, graphic designer, writer and dj based in Italy. After many years of classical training, she discovered electronic music, she fell in love with idm, liquid sounds and broken glitchy distorted rhythms. She started her music project at the beginning of 2000 together with Orbix D from
Colony Collapse Disorder.
Then she decided to move to Germany, where she could finally get in touch with the real electronic culture. There she had the chance to collaborate with
This Morn' Omina and
Talvekoidik, she spinned at some of the most important venues and festivals together with the
GlobalNoiseMovement crew. She attended a large amount of gigs and festivals, writing lots of reviews and live reports for
:Ritual: magazine. Actually she had a lot of fun.
Back to Italy she collaborated with
Typhoid and completed the first cd "Stereograms", exploring the beauty and the astonishment of the "third dimension" starting from a bidimensional point of view. The wonderful thing is that the same depth can be applied to music and above all to the process of composition, which is definitely an "other/higher state of the soul". Alteranima itself is a reflection of that very special moment (from latin "alter = other" and "anima = soul").
Alteranima is now working on new music and exploring a new concept which will be represented live as an "electronic multisensory performance".
