xname is a solo project by Eleonora Oreggia, a conceptual electronic artist born in Milan (IT) and based in London. She makes performances and interactive installations. Her live compositions transform light and other electromagnetic frequencies in sound waves through self built synthetisers and complex semi chaotic machines. In 2016 she found Nebularosa, a record label promoting electronic music that challenges the established modes of music production.

She studied Semiotics at DAMS (Drama Art and Music Studies) in Bologna and trained at NIMK (Netherlands Institute for Media Art) in Amsterdam. She holds a practice based MPhil in Cultural Studies from Goldsmiths College and she is a fully funded PhD candidate in Media & Arts Technology at Queen Mary University of London, where she is developing a novel musical instrument within the Antennas & Electromagnetics Group.

She has toured, lectured, performed and exhibited internationally at venues and events such as Manifesta (DE), Piksel (NO), FILE (BR), V&A Museum (UK), Union Chapel (UK), The Barbican (UK), ICA (UK). Recent grants and commissions include London Sinfonietta, Arts Council England and Queen Mary Music Scholarship.
