Giovanni Falascone is an Italian composer, pianist and teacher whose work encompasses both written music and improvisation. Exploring the complex interaction between performance and composition, his music often involves the creation of new electroacoustic devices that expand the gestural and sonic possibilities of traditional instruments, sometimes even deconstructing them. Since 2021, he has actively collaborated with various visual artists and dancers in the realization of multimedia compositions and performances.
His works are published by SZ Sugar.

He studied composition at the Civica Scuola di Musica in Milan under the guidance of Giovanni Verrando and Pasquale Corrado, and classical piano with Barbara Tripodi. He then continued his composition studies at the Conservatory of Mantua in the class of Maurizio Azzan, while also attending masterclasses with Clara Iannotta, Daniela Terranova, Dmitri Kourliandsky, Jean-Luc Hervé, Alexander Schubert, Ivan Fedele, and many others. He is currently the composition assistant to Giovanni Verrando.

His works have been performed by ensembles and musicians such as NAMES, Divertimento Ensemble, Suono Giallo, Endkadenz Ensemble, Elio Marchesini, Alberto Anhaus, Filippo Fattorini, Anna Armatys, Sara Dominici, Alessandro Bono, Francesca Naibo, Stefano Grasso, Federico Calcagno, Thomas Canna, Filippo Abrate, and by Falascone himself, in festivals and events including: Limina Festival (Universität Mozarteum in Salzburg, AT), Darmstädter Ferienkurse, Rondò – Concert Season of the Divertimento Ensemble (IT), Ars Electronica (linz, AT), PianoCity Milano (annually since 2019), TAOI (Hamburg, DE), Italian Cultural Institute in Paris (FR), Spazio Elle (Locarno, CH), Basement (Copenhagen, DK), Civica Scuola di Musica di Milano, OPOS (Milan, IT).

As a performer, he collaborates with ensembles, collectives, and associations that practice and promote improvised and contemporary music from various parts of Italy and Europe, such as Collettivo Conserere, BlueRing Improvisers, The Community Collective DK, TAI No-Orchestra, Ü quartet, HUM quintet, Milano Music Collective, SpazioPontano35, and musicians including Camila Nebbia, Silvia Bolognesi, Vlatko Kučan, Iran Sanadzadeh, Maria Grand, Barbara Togander, Hanne De Backer, Simone Baron, Filippo Monico, Cristiano Calcagnile, Giancarlo Locatelli, Daniele Cavallanti, Tiziano Tononi, Andrea Grossi, Francesca Naibo, Stefano Grasso, Federico Calcagno, Filippo Rinaldo, Thomas Canna, and Filippo Abrate. In 2023, he received a Diploma of Merit from the Accademia Musicale Chigiana (Siena, IT) for his musical improvisation skills, demonstrated during the summer workshops led by Stefano Battaglia.

His upcoming projects for the 2026 season include a new composition for cellist Elide Sulsenti, who will present it at the Ramificazioni concert series at the Conservatorio della Svizzera Italiana in Lugano (CH), and three new works commissioned by Ensemble Suono Giallo and Festival delle Nazioni (Città di Castello, IT).
