Stellan Veloce
Stellan Veloce is a Sardinian cellist and composer living in Berlin. They studied cello at the Cagliari Conservatory and composition at the Universität der Künste Berlin and the California Institute of the Arts.
Veloce’s music focuses on timbral research, iteration, and modulations of sound densities, integrating composition with improvisation and collective practices such as playing in a band. Traditional Sardinian music is an important inspiration of their work.
Veloce composes music for ensembles and dance performances, favouring collective practices. They collaborate regularly with the choreographer Sheena McGrandles, the composer Neo Hülcker, and the filmmaker Silvia Maggi. They occasionally work on stage or studio in the pop music sphere, most recently with pop icon Peaches.
Veloce’s first LP Complesso Spettro includes two pieces for sextet that serve as a bridge between the different manifestations of their music, such as experimental rock, contemporary music, and improvisation.
Stellan Veloce is in residence at the Tarabya Cultural Academy from October 2025 to January 2026.
