Eraldo Bernocchi is an Italian composer, arranger, producer and guitarist with a solid reputation as an all round sonic sculptor. Starting his career in the late 70’s as a guitarist in independent punk bands, in the mid ’80’s Eraldo co-founded the conceptual audio project Sigillum-S (with Paolo Bandera and Luca di Giorgio), which grew into a highly acclaimed international cult act.
In the 90’s, together with the graphic designer and video artist Petulia Mattioli, Eraldo started to create a raft of notable audio visual projects and co-operations. A relentless sound explorer, he collaborated with numerous artists including Bill Laswell, Nils Petter Molvaer, Harold Budd , Russell Mills, Toshinori Kondo, Raiz and Almamegretta, DJ Disk, Thomas Fehlmann, Zu, DJ Olive, Markus Stockhausen, Giovanni Lindo Ferretti, Robin Guthrie, Colin Edwin, Balazs Pandi, Hoshiko Yamane, Flowdan among many others.
In addition to regular work scoring music for adverts and other multimedia projects, Eraldo has composed film music for Academy Award winner Gabriele Salvatores and won the President of the Republic best soundtrack award for the movie soundtrack “Denti”. He produced numerous art installations with Petulia Mattioli, as well as other artists including Russell Mills and Harold Budd.
Uniquely, Eraldo is also known for being invited to play and organise various special events for H.H. The Dalai Lama in Italy.
In 2008, together with music lover Giacomo Bruzzo, Eraldo founded RareNoise Records, a new London based label, which aims to showcase a wide range of cutting edge music. The label has since become an important conduit championing several forward thinking and original artists, as well as releasing a number of Eraldo’s own recordings.
In 2018 he scored “Cy Dear”, the first ever doc/film on the life of the legendary artist Cy Twombly which has been presented at MOMA New York , Louvre Paris and National Portrait Gallery London.
His last outputs are SIMM “Too late to dream” together with Grammy winner Flowdan as well as “Sabi” with Tangerine Dream’s member Hoshiko Yamane.
He’s also well known as a sound programmer and designer for Power FX, Swedish synthesiser brand Elektron, Latvian Erica Synths and Attack magazine.
He lives in London where he founded Transmutation Ltd, his new media company.

The London-based Italian has produced music in collaboration with Harold Budd, Bill Laswell, Mick Harris, Robin Guthrie and many others. For new album "Too Late To Dream", Bernocchi has reached out into an entirely different direction and recruited vocalists Phelimuncasi, from the African label Nyege Nyege Tapes, and London-based MC Flowdan to add a new dimension to the storytelling of Simm.
