Ginevra Nervi
Ginevra Nervi (b. 1994, Genoa) is an Italian composer, producer and performer. In 2026, she was nominated for the Camille Awards, presented by the European Composer and Songwriter Alliance (ECSA), in the category Best Original Film Score for 18 Holes to Paradise by João Nuno Pinto — one of the key European recognitions dedicated to audiovisual music, whose nominations are selected through national composer associations across Europe.
Her artistic research moves between electronic music, vocal experimentation and soundscape investigation. At the core of her practice lies listening as a compositional act: the acoustic world — natural, urban and digital — is observed and transformed into musical material.
Through field recordings, vocal manipulation and electronic processing, Nervi constructs immersive sonic environments in which emotional depth and abstraction coexist. Her debut album The Disorder of Appearances (2022) is a meditation on perception, presence and transformation.
Alongside her solo work, she develops an extensive career as a composer for film and audiovisual media, establishing an increasingly international profile. Her approach is characterised by a layered writing style in which voice, environmental sound and electronics engage with visual storytelling, contributing to the creation of complex emotional landscapes.
Her recent works include the series Love Me Love Me, the film Idoli – Fino all’ultima corsa (2026) by Mat Whitecross, and 18 Buracos para o Paraíso by João Nuno Pinto. For this latter project, she received her nomination for the 2026 Camille Awards.
In 2026, she took part in the opening ceremony of the Paralympic Games in Verona, presenting a contemporary reinterpretation of the Italian national anthem.
In live performance, her work takes the form of audiovisual rituals in which processed voice, electronics and visual elements interact in real time, blurring the boundaries between concert and installation.
