About Me
Sinistri are:
Manuele Giannini (guitar, electronics, speaker), Roberto Bertacchini (drums, percussion),
Alessandro Bocci (electronics, computer),
Dino Bramanti (basses, beats, sampling, code).Sinistri, formerly known as Starfuckers, is an experimental music unit with drums, electronics, guitar and occasional voice, based in Italy. After their late 80's/90's Starfuckers operations, Sinistri was born and kept on moving forward, establishing a highly unique musical language based on nonmetric rhythms, minimal riffs and improvisational vamps, still retaining traces of proto-punk, black and contemporary classical music.
Sinistri's music comes out through a relentless, ruthlessly syncopated, broken and fragmented groove, which filters -through a raw rock perspective- techniques and primal elements of funk, dub, free jazz, blues, impro, concrete and electro-acoustic music.
As Sinistri they have released "Free Pulse" CD (Hapna, 2005), "Timing The 183K Pulse" CD (Utech Records, 2006) and tracks in various compilations and projects. Recent collaboration work with dance/performance group MK, "Funzione" (MK/sinistri 2006), has been premiered at Santarcangelo06 International Festival of the Arts and performed in different locations and contexts (Raum, BO and RED Reggio Emilia Danza Festival in May 07 among others). Collaboration with video media artists Donnachie/Simionato, "The Single Unit of Beauty", has been premiered at Netmage06 festival.
