Manuel Carbone is an Italian sound experimentalist and noise artist from Naples, currently based in Berlin.

Guided by a profound fascination for the rawest aspects of acousmatic music, in his practice he embraces errors, glitches, and distortions as essential elements to challenge conventional auditory perceptions.

Carbone’s sonic palette is diverse, weaving together found and synthesized sounds, field recordings and cassette loops to construct immersive aural landscapes. Central to his vision is the exploration of recollection, memory, and hauntology, and each composition serves as a medium for introspection.

Collaboration plays a pivotal role in Manuel Carbone’s process, as he believes in the power of collective exploration and shared creativity. Through collaborative works, he draws inspiration from the intersection of diverse perspectives, resulting in sonic experiences that transcend individual boundaries and resonate on a communal level.

Alongside his artistic practice, he curates a bi-monthly radio show for Radio WORM, Rotterdam, titled Continuoussoundscontinuous, and is a resident at Radio Alhara, Bethlehem, where he presents a monthly series of mixes.

Manuel Carbone has released solo and collaborative works via German non-profit interdisciplinary label Adventurous Music, as well as through Dragon’s Eye Recordings, Falt, Steep Gloss and Minimal Resource Manipulations.
