Luca Spanu Desogus is a Sardinian musician and composer. He became interested in music at the age of 11, starting with guitar studies. After playing in various ensembles, he discovered the world of theater, where he realized his main interest: composing music and exploring its relationship with words, images, and people, while also delving into sound design. This led him to work professionally in composition, arrangement, and sound design for drama theater. His multi-instrumentalism stems from the need to find the desired sound and, above all, from a constant drive to explore new ways of thinking through music. He studied at the Conservatory of Cagliari, earning a Bachelor’s Degree in classical guitar. He currently lives in Sardinia where he focuses on composing music for theater, radio, and film.
