Irene Bianco is an italian born musician based in Copenhagen.
In her solo performances she plays with vintage drums and electronics, toy percussion and fields recordings moving freely between polyrhythms and fragmented melodies.
Her music has been described as a sound poetry that takes you with warm curiosity to explore the spontaneous and unconventional.
Starting playing drum-kit at an early age and then trained as a classical percussionist her music influences span from baroque and orchestral music to 90s rock and club music.
Irene is an active freelance percussionist in the avant-garde and experimental danish music scene in solo and in projects as Damkapellet, Wolfskin Ensemble, Pio.
"The superb, quietly absorbing solo debut triggers fluttering chain reactions of hushed, delicate, electro-acoustic nuance.
Wistfully swaying around an intersection of lo-fi improvisation, ambient and lower case free jazz with a chamber classical precision, Bianco surely snags imaginations in extended lines of thought woven tapestry like on the mind." Boomkat

"Kronblade is a profound example to the beauty of spontaneity and whimsy, reflecting Bianco's artistic vision and her ability to evoke emotions through intricate layers of sound."Juno
