# Lucio Garau

Lucio Garau (born 9 December 1959) is an Italian composer of contemporary music and pianist.
Garau graduated in Piano and Composition at the Conservatorio di Cagliari, where he studied with Franco Oppo. His compositional aesthetics are influenced from acousmatic issues, but he also composes vocal and instrumental chamber music, sometimes with live electronics.
In 1991, he founded MiniM Ensemble to investigate the techniques of minimal music. He is the artistic director of Amici della Musica di Cagliari.
