Francesco Fasciolo, also known as Franco Lapache, is an Italian musician, audio engineer, and sound artist based in Berlin. He holds a Bachelor's degree in Jazz Guitar from the Conservatory of Brescia, and since 2024 he has been pursuing a Master's degree in Sound Studies and Sonic Arts at the Universität der Künste Berlin.

His practice focuses on the exploration of the analog domain and obsolete media, the archiving and reactivation of endangered sonic sources, and the relationship between sound and space. These interests lead him to work with outdated devices and to experiment with the physical and acoustic limits of sound manipulation.

In recent years, he has released music and performed internationally with various projects, and he is one of the co-founders of Big Tree Studio, a recording studio based in Brescia. He is currently active with the Italian band Diorama Group, with whom he records and tours.
