Matteo Chiarenza Santini — operating as Xquisite Korpse — is an Italian sound designer, producer, composer and audio engineer based in London. His work spans techno, sound design-heavy composition, ambient, flashcore and noise, moving freely across these territories with a practice rooted in visceral electronics, sound ritual and avant-garde vision. A multifaceted producer and composer, he has collaborated with FKA twigs on the album Eusexua and the performance The Eleven, scored a fashion film directed by Nick Knight, and live-scored a runway collection for Soma Faitanin. He continues to explore the intersection of spiritual sound, gong installations and visual media — bringing an intense, cathartic presence to every work.
