Alessandro Bosetti (* 1973 in Milan ) is an Italian performance artist, composer and jazz saxophonist.

Bosetti, who deals with the musical structures of language and unusual aspects of linguistic communication (such as misunderstandings when translating between different languages), writes text-sound compositions that he presents in live performances and publishes as radio works and CDs.

Live performances include a. Mask Mirror , a sampler that processes spoken words in real time, reacting to the meaning of the language as well as to the melody, Her Name for voice and laptop and The Pool and the Soup (2007), a language improvisation.

For the sound installation twelve tongues , which was presented by Deutschlandradio Kultur in 2005 , Bosetti set texts in eleven languages ​​to music. For african feedback he traveled through West Africa with CD recordings of experimental electroacoustic music and let unprepared listeners describe them and then combined music and descriptions. For The Whistling Republic , he translated his own texts into the whistling language El Silbo of the people of La Gomera .

Bosetti has lived and worked in Berlin since 2000.
