Lucio Tasca (Palermo, Sicily) is a composer and guitarist.
His music explores micro-differences such as oscillations, imperfections, and cracks that occur within the execution of the musical material, focusing on their potential to act as a form of spontaneous microscopic emergent ornamentation.
He studied composition with Bryn Harrison and Aaron Cassidy at the University of Huddersfield, where he is now undertaking a Ph.D.
Recent pieces have been performed by Francesco Dillon, Ensemble Impronta, Funktion, International Contemporary Ensemble, Christopher Redgate, Dejana Sekulic, OHHe Supercluster, Philip Thomas and Kathryn Williams among others.
