about
the
founder

Coco Francavilla is an Italian composer, sound engineer, and architect based in Ibiza.

With over 25 years in the music industry, her work moves between electronic, ambient, and contemporary classical music, shaped by a long-standing interest in sound synthesis, acoustics, and listening as a way of understanding the world. Her approach blends electronic composition with cinematic and spatial sensibilities.

Coco studied classical guitar at the Santa Cecilia Conservatory in Rome and later earned a degree in architecture from Westminster University London and La Sapienza University of Rome. Her academic work focused on acoustic physics and the relationship between sound, space, and human perception.

Early in her career, Coco collaborated closely with Tricky (Massive Attack) as a singer and co-producer, an experience that shaped her voice-led and experimental approach to electronic music. She has since worked across music production, film composition, and sound design, contributing music to major film trailers including Blade Runner 2049, The Hunger Games, among others.

As a producer and sound engineer, she has collaborated with artists across genres, including Adam Beyer and the AFTERLIFE collective, and has worked extensively in studio and live contexts. She performed at festivals and venues such as Sonar, MUTEK, Glastonbury, and the Royal Festival Hall.

In Ibiza, she founded WIDER SOUNDS, a recording studio, sonic research platform, and artist residency supporting interdisciplinary projects at the intersection of music, film, technology, and environmental awareness.

Driven by a deep connection to the sea, Coco is the founder of MusicForTheSea.org, a nonprofit organization bridging music, science, and ocean protection. Its flagship initiative, Posidonia Soundscapes, is officially endorsed as an Action of the UNESCO United Nations Ocean Decade, combining underwater acoustic research, artistic creation, and marine conservation in the Mediterranean.

Through her work, Coco explores sound not only as an artistic medium, but as a tool for connection — between people, ecosystems, and the living ocean.
