← C2C Festival 2026

XIII folds field recordings, tactile digital synthesis and slow, irregular percussion into shadowy ambient and dub structures. His Gang of Ducks set is likely to move between abstract sound design, ceremonial rhythms and the organic melodies of Permanent Rain rather than settle into straight club tempo.

More about XIII

XIII is Alessio Capovilla, a Turin composer and co-founder of the multidisciplinary Gang of Ducks platform with Stefano Ferrero. His records connect ancient musical forms with synthesis and computer music; releases for Gang of Ducks, C2C and Amsterdam label Knekelhuis place him in Italy’s exploratory electronic underground.
