Summary

They define themselves “Discomatica”: an electric guitar that becomes a synthesizer, were a classic arpeggio moves bass and melody in a flowing counterpoint as if it were three instruments in one, and a drumbeat that flows between disco, dance, math-rock and alternative, all with a video game feel. Everything is recorded live! An electronic DJ set played with feet and fingers by guitarist Andrea Faccioli (already with Vasco Brondi, Le Luci Della Centrale Elettrica, Baustelle, Cisco), and drummer Niccolò Fornabaio (already with Vasco Brondi, Le Luci Della Centrale Elettrica, Vinicio Capossela, Marlene Kuntz).
