Monsano, Italy — since 1978 · signal and memory

Giving shape to
sound, light
and presence.

PinkHouseLab is Francesco Sardella’s space for production, composition, recording and creative systems. A pink barn in an olive grove, where analogue experience meets digital tools designed to remain human.

Here, technology is not a special effect: it is a way to listen more deeply. We turn concerts, stories and artistic gestures into sound and images that keep speaking.

Specialisation

Orchestral concerts and classical music, live

This is the rarest part of the craft: recording an orchestra while it plays, in the room or in a theatre, with no second chance. It takes reading the score and knowing in advance where the sound will come from. Francesco Sardella holds diplomas in violin and in electronic music composition from the “G. Rossini” Conservatory in Pesaro: he sets up the microphones as a musician, not only as an engineer.
