Mauro Basilio

Originally from Italy, Mauro Basilio has pursued a highly diverse musical education: cello, guitar, oud, early instruments (luths, fiddles, chalumeaux), percussions (frame drums, stick drums), and computer-assisted music.
This multifaceted approach has led him to explore intersections between early and contemporary music, written and improvised forms, and to engage in film and stage music composition.

Based in Paris since 2013, he is a member of the free-jazz big band “Healing Orchestra” led by Paul Wacrenier. He also accompanies singer Celinn in her animist pop music and singer Haim Isaacs in a concert focused on the songs of Joni Mitchell.

He collaborates with numerous musicians in improvisational music projects.

He composes, performs live, or records music for shows, documentaries, and films, he collaborates with various circus, theatre, and dance companies.

He recorded his prepared cello and contributed creative ideas to the original soundtrack of the TV series Devil in Disguise (USA, 2025), produced by Peacock. The music was created by Leopold Ross and Nick Chuba, nominees for the Emmys and Grammys for the TV series Shōgun.
