Mathame (Matteo Giovanelli)

Matteo Giovanelli is one half of Mathame, the acclaimed electronic duo leading the “EmoTech” movement. His artistic identity is defined by a distinguished background as an award-winning film director, with works recognized and awarded at international festivals. This cinematic foundation remains the heartbeat of Mathame’s immersive world, where music and storytelling merge into a multi-dimensional narrative experience. As a co-founder of MHA srl—a multifaceted hub for management, publishing, and innovation—Matteo drives the creative strategy at the intersection of music and emerging technologies. He perceives Artificial Intelligence primarily as a profound anthropological tool and a major democratizing force. This vision was notably exemplified by the development of a custom AI engine for Apple’s M1 chip to power the Old Neural Mixtape Vol.1, a project that redefined real-time harmonic recomposition. From his perspective as a filmmaker, he views generative AI as a revolutionary shift that allows creators to manifest complex, cinematic visions that were once the exclusive domain of high-budget studios. Through his work with Mathame, Matteo has redefined performance art within the expansive NEO universe. This narrative ecosystem comes to life through parallel anime-styled visuals and monumental installations, creating a non-linear dialogue between the audience and the technology. By bridging cinematic depth with futuristic sound, he continues to explore the "soul of the future," using technology as a gateway to the sacred, the emotional, and the deeply human.
