IN/ELEKTRA
Silvia Cignoli, guitar, effects
Valentina Guidugli, bass, effects
Experimental duo based in Milan, IN/ELEKTRA is a meeting point of two worlds: well established musical experiences contaminate each other through the imagination and elaboration of inner ways. Although Silvia Cignoli and Valentina Guidugli are two musicians with totally different backgrounds, they are both attracted by a common horizon where the key word is "contamination" between post-rock, noise, drone-ambient, glitch, contemporary, experimental and improvised music. IN/ELEKTRA perform in very different situations, among which the "Spaziomusica Festival" (Cagliari, Teatro Massimo), Jazzmi Festival and Inaudito Festival (Milan) stand out.

Vugly nasce nel 2013 in un mondo parallelo e dopo anni di gestazione, è stata diverse cose prima, durante e dopo. Nell’istante in cui si esprime ci sono canzoni, un basso, una voce e diverse congegni elettroanalogici. Genere essenzialmente sperimentale, volontà fortemente indipendente.

Classical and electric guitarist, experimental musician and sound artist who ranges from classical to contemporary music, from radical improvisation to avant- rock to her own musical creation that is a crossover between her academic background and the electronic music scene. 

In her work, a refined timbre research on augmented guitar, keyboards, electronics, signal processors and sound objects builds soft atmospheres that sometimes tend to explosion with a continuous game between absence and presence.

She is graduated in classical guitar at Scuola Civica Claudio Abbado (Milan) and at Italian Swiss Conservatory (with honors).

Samir Nasa is an italian musical project created by electronic musician and digital artist Andrea Giomi, and percussionist Leonardo Bonetti in Milan, 2014. Their artistic research focuses on improvisational processes in electroacoustic live music in order to develop an original dialogue between different kinds of musical forms and practices, from sound treatment techniques in contemporary avant garde electronic music to jazz rhythmic patterns, from ambient-drone atmospheres to motion capture interactive systems. Furthermore, Samir Nasa aims to create a visionary listening experience deeply rooted in evocative musical structures and gestures. Recently, they started to collaborate with other musicians, and some upcoming releases will be published soon.
