Caliph Bey, a.k.a. Hollywood Bricks, was born August 24th in Southern Califorina to parents Carnella and Woodrow Bey. Caliph is the middle child of the family and has had an ear for music ever since the age of 7 when he started playing drums. Whenever Micheal Jackson records would be playing, he got out there and danced. Growing up in a gang infested neighborhood as a child, he witnessed numerous violent acts and lots of people strung out on drugs. Though his pops left him early in his life, his mom worked two jobs to hold the family down. After seeing too much murder and crime, his mother decided to move the family to Carson, California. It was in this Los Angeles suburb, where caliph became involved in hip hop and overall music in general. Around 5th grade, Caliph started studying artists like LL Cool J, Blacksheep, Jungle Brothas, Dela Soul and Tribe called Quest. Also, his mentor "Squeak" sat him down one day and showed Caliph how to write his first rhyme.

At that time, Caliph was in the 7th grade and after getting in trouble a lot, Caliphs mother decided it was time to move her son and family out of Carson. This time, they moved to Lakewood, California and is where Caliph met his childhood friends and future "7dynasty" crew: BJ Grafton, Kevin Grafton, Chris Boston and Matthew Smith. The group was sort of like a west coast wu tang and broke up in 1997, but BJ, Caliph and friend Omar Bradley started a new groupe called 3rd Demention. The name was later changed to Conglamerant. The group went on to create a good buzz doing local shows but never landed a major deal, and after a clash of egos, the group folded. Caliph later ran into the godfather of his oldest son, Damion "Gflow" Smith of Relicent productions and inked a deal with him, which allowed Caliph to do songs with Dr. Dre's former Aftermath artist Truth Hurts, Sly Boogie, Slaughter House Crookdi and many more.

Again, the music never really took off on the lable, however the two remain good friends to this day. In 2007, Caliph met up with good friend Joshua Conet. A.k.a. "ch!ef" and they formed a group called "The Worriers." Their run in the biz was cut short due to alcohol, drugs and the birth of Caliph's first child. With legal troubles piling up, Caliph began drinking and using more and more drugs until he checked into rehab in 2010. He did a lot of soul searching during the 8 months he was there. This was also a time for Caliph to work on his craft and write out new songs and rhymes and most importantly, he regained his relationship with God. When Caliph came out of rehab, he was clear minded and ready to go. Since then, Caliph has found work at The Home Depot where he met Brian "Bc" Curtiss and George Martinez. Along with creating new music with Bc and George, Caliph has once again returned to music under the name "Hollywood Bricks" and its not over yet. Hollywood Bricks has just begun...

Le rap de Scoob se caractérise par une plume autobiographique, authentique et sincère. Une souffrance et une rage qui sont presque tangibles à l'écoute. Un timbre de voix qui respire le vécu d'une réelle haine, qui dans le fond n'est que le triste reflet de sa peine. 
Des textes d'une conscience alarmante accompagnée d'un flow explosif bref un style incomparable dû à une vie anormalement chaotique. 


HISTOIRE 


Issa est né le 27 mai 1991 à Saint-Paul à la Réunion (974) de parents divorcés, il arrive en France avec sa mère encore nourrisson. 
Plus précisément à Houilles dans les Yvelines (78).

À l'école, très tôt conscient qu'il fallait mettre toutes les chances de son côté, c'est un élève sérieux et surdoué en classe ; en sport, il présente une dextérité élevée avec un ballon dans les mains. 
Devenir basketteur, c'était son rêve, un rêve de gosse comme tous nous en avons eu.

En 5ème, la maladie d'Osgood-Schlatter l'oblige à arrêter le basket ainsi que les cours d'EPS avec ses camarades. 
C'est l'élément déclencheur de la chute de cet enfant.

Très vite, la frustration de ne pas pouvoir être comme les autres change son comportement. Il devient dissipé, turbulent et insolent ce qui entraîna inévitablement un échec scolaire.

À la sortie du collège, il est orienté en Zep (zone d'éducation prioritaire), établissement duquel il démissionna au bout de 6 mois. 
Il se réorienta dans un CFA en alternance duquel il démissionna encore une fois au bout de seulement 6 mois. 

Scoob, livré à lui-même, commença alors le trafic (résine de cannabis principalement) mobile, nuit et jour dans les rues à vendre au détail. 
Il s'organise avec toutes sortes d'équipes peu fréquentables, qui opèrent dans les départements limitrophes du 78, le 92 et le 95. 

Sa première garde à vue, c'est à 16 ans qu'il la passe à la Défense pour un simple poing américain dans sa poche. 
Première d'une longue série (Poissy, Sartrouville, Houilles, Nevers, Sarcelles...etc) avec bien sûr des procès verbaux et des rappels à la loi toujours en rapport de près ou de loin avec le Bisness. 
Représailles et esquives de ronde policière deviennent son quotidien. Les contrôles de la police nationale sont incessants et frôlent le harcèlement. 

Après avoir croisé la bac, les stups et la douane à de multiples reprises, il se range après la mort prématuré de son oncle décédé dans des circonstances floues (rapport d'autopsie refusé). 
Une semaine avant de mourir, il lui dit cette phrase : 
« ta place se trouve derrière un micro et non derrière des barreaux ». Ces dernières paroles le poursuivent encore à cette heure-ci. 
Il s'est donc fait la promesse de réussir pour honorer la mémoire de son oncle.

Il essaye de se remettre dans le droit chemin, ne traîne plus, écrit ses premiers titres et passe le plus clair de son temps avec sa petite amie. Une relation fusionnel s'installe, mais une trop grande tension au sein du couple s'y oppose. Les parents de celle-ci étant d'origine Corse traitent Issa de sale arabe et n'acceptent pas que leur fille aime un métèque aux allures de "mauvais garçon". 
Ils sont allés même jusqu'à le braquer au fusil de chasse quand 
celui-ci insista pour la voir alors qu'ils leurs interdisaient tout contact.

Elle lui demanda de patienter par amour pour elle, il attendit donc qu'elle atteigne sa majorité pour enfin pouvoir s'aimer librement comme ils le désiraient tous les deux. Une semaine après son anniversaire, elle le quitta par téléphone sans raisons valables et sans donner de nouvelles par la suite.
 Il ne se remettra jamais de cette rupture. 

Il reprit les sales affaires de plus belle...et souffla ses 18 bougies au poste après avoir vidé un bidon d'essence sur une voiture ciblé, pour 50 grammes, qu'on lui avait dérobé la veille. 
C'est à cette période que "Chasseur De Rimes" sort.

Le 8 janvier 2010, il est condamné pour port d'arme au tribunal de Versailles. Son passé le rattrape et les vieilles rancunes des ennemis ressurgissent. Suite à un règlement de compte, sa copine du moment le quitte dans la peur de le perdre ; "Braqueur 2 Chance" arrive à sortir ; pendant ce temps, il se promène avec un gilet pare-balles et un pistolet. Malgré lui, il finit par devenir paranoïaque et s'isole avec un comportement quasi-autistique. 
Il écrit alors plus de 40 textes en moins de deux mois, il en sélectionnera 14 qui formeront la tracklist de "La Téci m'a Tuer".

La pression du quartier s'intensifiant et voyant ses forces psychiques ainsi que physiques s'amoindrir, il décide de quitter définitivement le milieu de la délinquance pour se lancer uniquement dans l'exploitation de son talent : le Rap. 

Mais en janvier 2012, il n'arrive plus à se déplacer ni à se concentrer, après examen il est diagnostiqué Borderline. Il s'agit d'une maladie mentale causé par une trop grande fréquence de traumatisme. 
A 20 ans, il est alors suivi régulièrement par un psychiatre de l'état (CMP) qui lui prescrit un traitement d'antidépresseur, d'anxiolytique et de sédatif sinon il serait potentiellement dangereux pour lui et pour les autres.

Le 29 mars 2012, 7 jours après la mort de Mohammed Merah, la brigade des stups font perquisition à son domicile. Le seul élément préjudiciable qu'ils trouvèrent ne fut que des vêtements de contrefaçon. Il passa tout de même 24h en garde à vue, avec un interrogatoire approfondi, car il faisait l'objet d'une enquête depuis plus d'un an (écoutes téléphoniques, conversations Facebook, photos...etc) pour soupçons de trafic de stupéfiants. 
Issa a affirmé ne plus vivre dans l'illégalité et vivre uniquement pour la concrétisation de sa passion artistique.
Dès sa sortie, il écrit un album purement autobiographique intitulé "Miracle ou Mirage" qu'il sortira le jour de la "fin du monde" du 21 décembre 2012.

En juillet 2013, il passe 8 jours à l'hôpital psychiatrique de Montesson pour dépression, il sort détruit et traumatisé de cette mauvaise expérience.

Aujourd'hui, Scoob essaye de s'en sortir avec la musique et ses convictions pour défendre la jeunesse des banlieues et des provinces qui sont les premiers à payer le prix des erreurs de ce système élitiste et capitaliste.

Il représente le combat d'un homme rescapé, mais pas encore sauvé, d'un passé violent et difficile, qu'il souhaite simplement éviter aux plus jeunes. Le but ultime étant d'éveiller le maximum de consciences pour que le monde ne se perde dans l'ignorance de la société de consommation et la destruction écologique ainsi qu'humaine qu'elle engendre.

C'est ce qui fait de Scoob, un artiste unique ! auquel il est urgent d'adhérer. Le phénomène étant en constante évolution... .
Il regroupe chaque jour de plus en plus de fans qui se rallient à sa cause pour sa personnalité attachante de poète maudit au grand coeur.

Un Homme malade, un Artiste incontournable... .
 
 "La relève" du Hip-Hop arrive !

MERCI 


À tous ceux qui soutiennent et qui suivent Sc2Ob le « Loup 2 La Kass » dans toute la France, les Dom-Tom et dans tous les autres pays francophones… .

Two Trick Pony plays guitar driven noise pop centred around the three female front figures. The band challenges pop music with strong melodies in dreamy harmonies wrapped in the sound of raging guitars. The fiery pony has been running wild since the beginning of 2012, and on its way it has impressed icons as former MTV-host Ray Cokes and Danish National Music-magazine GAFFA and multiple music blogs and Danish newspapers. 

Now Two Trick Pony is finally ready to release the crowdfunded debutalbum ‘The Horses Are Coming’. The Album is a unique mix of Sixties’ pop sound and dusty Rock n’ Roll with a hint of a feminine fragility and sweetness. Heartache and hope goes hand in hand in the 9 songs, which declare spring is near.

Inspiration:
Blonde Redhead, The Raveonettes, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Violent Femmes, BRMC, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Breeders, The Pretenders. etc.

Releases:
Feb. 2014 ‘The Horses are Coming’. LP/CD/Digital album release 
Jan. 2014 ‘Head over Heels’. Digital Single release.

March 2012 “A Two Trick Pony Attack” EP.


6 ½ /10  Rockfreaks.net  (October 2012) ”Two Trick Pony is a band that mixes the fuzzy rumblings of lo-fi indie and post punk (think Yuck, The Jesus And Mary Chain etc.)with a country twang and try to wrap things up in catchy little compositions that can be enjoyed as a highly unique sort of alternative pop. The ideas presented on the EP by the band are certainly a lot more unusual than you can otherwise hear in the Danish musical landscape.”

***** Gaffa (Danish Music Mag. May 2012) ”A dreamy spring full of summerskirts and heartaches. Five good, springlike songs which show huge promise for the forthcoming concerts and albums”. 

Danish Music Mag. Gaffa’s selected Artist SMUKFEST.  (August 2012). ”In front are three hot ladies and they have lived, which they tell through their songs. It hurts, but in the good way. Expect edgy beats, surprising guitar riffs , action and hooklines you don’t forget.”

Ray Cokes’ (Legendary MTV-host) SELECTED band for the Rock N’ Talkshow Ray’s Guesthouse, Germany. (May 2012).

Just an Indiana boy whose love for music has pressed me to the brink...if I didn't have music or art life wouldn't be any sort of color. I just want to live my life and make music to make the masses be happy, angry, thoughtful, reflecting, sad, violent, calm, horny, and amazed...I'll never stop living my dream...Drums, Guitar, Bass, and Piano combined in emotion and honesty. I've been all over the world...France, England, Germany, Canada, Mexico, Qutar, Saudia Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq, and all over these great United States. Im a SSgt in the United States Air Force, a Photographer previously of Suicide Girls and the Local scene, I speak Italian, Im cocky and blah blah blah LETS GET BACK TO THE MUSIC!
 

Dwell in the present moment. As the moment becomes familiar, so does the wonder in all moments. Grateful for all of life, and all lives. This is basic goodness.

Father, Author, Speaker, Listener, Teacher, Student, Climber, Diver, Adventurer, Practitioner. Truly experiencing my path and loving it more with each step.

It's been a journey...

From the time I was 17 until I was was 24, I was a founding member of what went on to become the largest racist skinhead organization on Earth, a Reverend of a self-declared Racial Holy War, and lead singer of the hate-metal band Centurion, selling over 20,000 CDs of the most violent, hateful music ever made around the world. There is blood from innocent people on my hands. There are kids today who listen to my voice bellowing my lyrics as they're getting drunk and geared-up to go out and hurt people. 

After 7 years of involvement, the combination of single parenthood and higher education finally instilled doubt in the racist dogma that I had vehemently promoted for so long. The process of change is ongoing. My evolution of thought occurred over the course of years, but there was a particular afternoon that marked my epiphany:

I arrived early to pick my daughter up from daycare. No one had noticed me, so I took in the moment, watching with teared eyes as my little girl played with the other kids. It struck me that they were all children; not black children, or white children, but the sons and daughters of mothers and fathers. I thought of all the people I had hurt, whether with my own hands or by lighting some psychopath's fuse. Those people had moms and dads and brothers and sisters. How did their loved ones feel when they saw this person who was so special to them battered and broken? How horrible would it be to have my daughter exposed to such violence in the slightest aspect? Love for my child thawed a dormant empathy for people that I was never aware of. 

I have changed drastically over the years since then, becoming a person who seeks out and embraces the diversity of our wonderful human family. A person who ultimately realized that the basic human need for compassion can't be bound by constructs such as race. I didn't become this person with the intention of simply being the antithesis of what I was. It happened very organically once I became too exhausted to maintain the lies necessary to be a racist.

In November of 2010 I published My Life After Hate, a book reflecting upon my past and the things I have learned.

Today I my life is dedicated to the study and practice of basic human goodness, which is the innate and natural desire to live an open and honest life while treating all other life with compassion and respect. This core truth serves as the foundation for peace as it’s common to every world religion and transcending of ethnicity, nationality, sexuality, and any other sort of difference that seems to sort human beings. 

NZs longest running dark experimental Industrial act, formed around 1985-86.

At its conception, a two piece utilizing many reel to reel tape recorders, loop effects and vocal cut-ups, various found steel objects and an arsenal of classic analog synths and drum machines. Very ecclectic  and unique, and were given the genre label, 'Junk Punk', by one reviewer to describe their sound.
They performed only three times as this incarnation, twice in New Zealand and once in Sydney, Australia. The live art performances included poetry and slide shows and were performed in art galleries. As part of an early 1986 performance the entire interior of a soon to be demolished house was torn apart in a frenzied ritual, accompanied by looping noise tapes fed through a generator driven PA system. Around 30 people took part in this now infamous display of art terrorism.

Their sound changed quite sporadically through the years, due to collaborating with a myriad of engineers, percussionists, guitarists, and like minded artists. BOSCH were always pretty experimental and 'outside the box'. You either loved them or hated them.
The late mid to late 1980s saw Bosch become a three piece of Gothic proportions. Merging Goth and Industrial to become a sort of  B-grade Neubauten / Feotus hatchling. This version only lasted a few months, but managed one, very loose live set which accompanied a gothic/dark art fashion show at an inner city nightclub.

1990 saw a new development of image and sound. A guitarist , Morpheus Ire, was added from a young local dark Metal band, Mother Morphine and bass/percussionist, Paul Blanchard, ex Plaster Saints, was recruited to play alongside the machines and keyboards,which instantly gave the group a whole new, heavier sounding 'Industrial Punk/Metal' direction. A more chaotic, angst ridden, almost anarchic direction. Live performances meant the destruction of stage sets and props. Audience participation was always encouraged live.
Hieronymus Bosch, though misunderstood by many, during this period, attracted quite a good loyal following from the Death/Punk and Metal communities whilst still maintaining their dedicated Industrial/Experimental music fanatics. They performed quite extensively throughout 1990 - '93.
Late 1993, Bosch headed back to its roots slightly, Industrial/Dark Ambient and only performing a couple of times, mainly as a solo act.

In 1996, Hieronymus Bosch expanded to a solid two member lineup. Trevor Donaldson, ex Sudersuk and classic NZ Punk band Armatrak joined and the two headed off into some rather scarey, electronic grinding 'nightmarescape' territories. 
"We've managed a few style change overs through the years but we always turned back to what we were all about".

Their sound is a very personal one. Constantly drawing aural imagery from their own and others personal lives. Interests, beliefs, fears and desires are all contained within the 'nightmare soundtracks'. Religion interests us, as does Life and Death. "Our main influence is life itself as a whole. There is so much drama going on in the world. Life isnt dissimilar to a huge television screen, continuously playing and repeating random scenarios. One moment, a horror show. War, chaos, death and fear, the next, perfect families in sugar coated dream worlds. Spirituality, Netherworlds of fantasy and escapism, Astronomy and the structure and complexities of the human mind all make appearances within the Bosch world. Our sound reflects as our own visions. Our views. Our way of thinking. Some pieces are slow and dark to depict the negatives of reality, (or Virtual reality), the down trodden and the weak, while other sections are lighter and somewhat uplifted. The balance is always there though. It seems to work".
HIERONYMUS BOSCH's music is constructed by combining the organic with electronic. Nature vs Technology. Layering samples with movement. Frequencies and modulations with sounds of their own existence. They are both fans in the idea of power in minimalism. Creating huge rhythm through repetition and looping of sounds and samples. Constantly building and creating new directions and moods.
Their first release back in 1990 was on video format."Our concept is a visual one, so we decided this was the best way to SHOW our sound". The five track release entitled simply HIERONYMUS BOSCH - THE VIDEO was limited to 300 copies and was swallowed up quickly within the hungry world underground scene

In 1997 HIERONYMUS BOSCH released a self titled album of dark and horrific scapes which has been circulating well throughout the world, mainly around the UK and European countries. 

1998 saw the creation of their second album , THE DIVIDED SELF.Another dark journey into the world of BOSCH. THE DIVIDED SELF is a collection of some sorts, a merging of styles and textures, lightness and darkness. They have also featured on a couple of overseas underground compilations and made a couple of appearances on the mid 90's performance/video release series TECHNOHELL.
In 2004 they released their third album THE DREAM SONGS on Polish Industrial label Fluttering Dragon.
Hieronymus Bosch have produced short film soundtracks for video artists in Belgium and Australia and have tracks in various local and international compilations.

[REVIEWS]
Hieronymus Bosch - Self titled album (CD) CLUB BIZARRE

Hieronymus bosch was the weirdest medieval painter/artist famous for his far out darkest and frightening paintings. He was described as the worlds first surrealist and his painted nightmares appear to be very modern still today. Hieronymus Bosch is also a project from the far away NZ and they have been creating dark industrial chaos since 1985 making them the longest running and surprisingly NZs only true Industrial performance act. This self titled and long awaited debut release combines sounds both electronic and acoustic to create rhythms of various moods. Sometimes beautiful (almost classical) and atmospheric-sometimes intense-overwhelming and nightmarish. Hieronymus Bosch are a unique and refreshing experience. Experience life death and beyond. ALBUM OF THE MONTHAudioglobe Newsletter 1997 [Italy]

Hieronymus Bosch - The Divided Self (CD) CLUB BIZARRE

Dark & brooding Nightmarescapes throb and writhe like wounded serpents, choking and ebbing painfully in formation across the desolate plains in the world of Hieronymus Bosch. Sinister moods develop and disturb the inner senses. Moulding electronic pulsing rhythmic waves and samples with acoustic/organic sound sculpting overlaid with the darkest of vocal spectres. Hieronymus Bosch explore the darkest of Netherworlds bringing to life the dreams and visions produced in all of us. The frightening scenarios played by the multitude in full horrifying reality in the mind of a child in deepest of sleep. Their world can also be a beautiful one. One of moments of light and solitude. A peace state awaiting breaking point. Relaxed yet tense!!!.The inner light is held forward to greet the darkness. Exploring both sides Hieronymus paint an aural masterpiece. A canvas depicting all that is real in life and beyond. For every bad there is goodness. For every good moment lurks the potential for evil. A merging in styles ranging from dark mystical ambient venturing into experimental/industrial territories. A genuine Masterpeice for those that appreciate the sounds of Dark-End labels like Cold Meat Industry and Projekt !!! [Audioglobe newsletter 2000]

Hieronymus Bosch - The Dream Songs  [Fluttering Dragon]

Third release from this long established, yet enigmatic project from New Zealand. Heavy electronics, harsh ambience, distorted textures, unsettling voices, pulsing rhythms, and feverish cinematic atmospheres are all utilized to delve into the theme of the psyche, fears, and dreams of children. www.citadel-gate.com

HIERONYMOUS BOSCH "The Dream Songs"Fluttering Dragon | dragon 030 | CD | 2004 

The third release from one of the most worldwide known dark ambient projects from New Zealand , Hieronymus Bosch, is entirely dedicated to the subject of children's nightmares, fear of falling asleep and being alone in the dark. At least that's what I deducted perusing the attached booklet... So, what's the point of having the pictures of young people who fought in the Warsaw Uprising in 1944 on the front cover and inside the booklet? What's the connection between the album's concept and the artwork? Didn't they have other problems than a monster under their beds back then? Luckily, the sounds coming out from the speakers help you to forget quickly about that unfortunate match, and start to drown in the hypnotic, yet mysterious beginning of "The Dream Songs". Like another phase of a dream, the music kicks off quite peacefully to reach, with every step made towards the within, that state of mind when a dreaming begins. And then the proper events happen... Even if Hieronymus Bosch's work was pigeonholed as a dark ambient, it's hard to say now how much the record contents deals with background music as such... It seems that the stylistic turning points the group have taken within its almost 20-year-long history are reflected in many ways in their current work (even though they announce a return to the dark ambient roots with this record). The ten tracks featured here tend to intensify the emotional aspect of the album concept. Be it the mysterious and quasi sacral moments from the beginning of the record, or the violent post-industrial rhythmic poundings in the vein of In Slaughter Natives or Mental Destruction, the authors of "The Dream Songs" stay away from dark ambient clichï¿½s. No static appearance, but a sound in motion! The music absorbs you with very intense, massive sonic bands that runs across almost the whole album, yet you will find voice samples, loop effects and some piano employed to create anxious, nightmarish atmospherics.

The formula of blending post-industrial, classical music and dark ambient (with emphasis on the last element) seems to have been perfectly realized by the now defunct Law. The New Zealanders follow a similar path, so if you liked Law, you won't get disappointed with "The Dream Songs"!

Macromatic è un progetto elettrico di musica strumentale.

Nel gennaio 2011 si ritrovano in sala Marco Pedicini, Roberto Porzio, Paolo Petrella e Salvatore Rainone, musicisti già attivi nella scena partenopea in progetti tra i quali Slivovitz, Revenaz Quartet, Gecko's tear, tutti in un modo o nell'altro fortemente legati alla musica strumentale.

Le composizioni di Marco, scritte con vena quasi classica e marcatamente ispirate a certo progressive stile King Crimson e Frank Zappa, dopo essere passate per una buona dose di Alternative e Jazz Rock, si caricano in sala di un'energia aggressiva e tagliente.

Iniziano a suonare a piccole dosi in locali e festival a Napoli e provincia.
A luglio 2012, selezionati nel Conad Jazz Contest, si esibiscono a Umbria Jazz Festival.
In questa occasione registrano tre brani per il primo Ep, "Carne a cuocere", completamente autoprodotto.


Marco Pedicini - chitarra e fx
Roberto Porzio - piano e tastiere
Paolo Petrella - basso e fx
Salvatore Rainone - batteria e fx


MACROMATIC nasce da un bisogno fisiologico, un forte dolore, 'na specie 'e colica, una necessità impellente, una pulsione sessuale, un impeto violento, viscerale, 'na fetente 'e famm'.

Quello che mangiamo con le orecchie lo cachiamo dalle mani.

Macromatic è un laboratorio chimico.
Da scorie, schegge e residui organici nasce una miscela sonora tagliente e aggressiva.
Macromatic è 'a guerra 'n cap', 'e pier' spuorc', un ematoma sottocutaneo, 'na cagliosa, 'na 'ntosa 'nmiez 'a front', una malattia grave al cervello.

In una parola, come è stato più volte felicemente sintetizzato, sdkjasdvblò.

Macromatic crede nella musica e trova la sua forza nella continua ricerca di nuove possibilità sonore, a prescindere dall'esistenza di generi.

Macromatic è espressione, un modo di parlare prima che di pensare.

Macromatic è GH.

Macromatic was born in Naples (Italy) in January 2011. 

Marco Pedicini, with a lot of music ideas incubated for years in his head, decides to summons up Roberto Porzio (ex Revenaz Quartet, Gecko's Tear), Paolo Petrella (Revenaz Quartet, Napoli Rockers Syndicate) and Salvatore Rainone (Slivovitz) to start a project in which condense a music research out of the genres, in perpetual development.

The steady and neurotic work of composition and rehearsal leads their to Umbria Jazz 2012 in july. 
Meanwhile they release the first EP completely self-producted, recorded in the deepness of piazza Nazionale, mixed in Casa Surace, with graphic project by Casa Pedicini.

Macromatic comes up from a physiological necessity, a severe ache, a sort of colic, a pressing need, a sex urge, a violent, visceral, outburst, a stinker hunger.

What we eat with ears, let out with hands.

Macromatic is a chemical laboratory. 
From wastes, splinters and organic remains comes up a sharp and aggressive sonic blend. 
Macromatic is the war in the head, the dirty feet, a subcutaneous haematoma, a punch in the middle of the forehead, a severe brain disease.

In one word: agdòjadfhgò.

Macromatic is expression, a way of speaking before that a way of thinking.

Macromatic is GH.
