Born in Milan in 1978.
Began his musical career as guitar player.

He is currently working with: Giuseppe Ielasi with whom he formed the project entitled "Bellows",
Attila Faravelli as "Faravelliratti"and with Fatima Bianchi for audio/video works.
His albums had been released by Die Schachtel, Musica Moderna, Entr'acte, Anticipate, Preservation, Megaplomb, Boring Machines, Coriolis Sounds, Zymogen.
Nicola Ratti bases his music upon the search for a personal language that is capable of joining together basic song structure, electro-acoustic experimentation with a sensibility that ranges from improvisation to the almost artiginal construction of sound.

Bellows
Giuseppe Ielasi and Nicola Ratti explore the limits of electroacoustic music through a very heterogeneous modality, moving freely between improvisation and composition.FaravelliRatti
FaravelliRatti is a duo comprised of Nicola Ratti and Attila Faravelli who play with a tower of different prepared speakers and a taper recorder in between them. The idea is to feed speakers with different languages in the same space and have them resonate with the physical space.Ronin
Ronin plays moving songs and sountracks for imaginary (or real) movies. It is a Bruno Dorella's project (OvO, Bachi da Pietra) founded in 1998. Nicola Ratti plays with them since 2005 both live and studio works. Currently Ronin are: Bruno Dorella gt, Chet Martino bs, Enzo Rotondaro bt, Nicola Ratti gt.
