MIZOOKSTRA is a meeting between free jazz and electronic music. It is radical improvisation with no structures at all.
MIZOOKSTRA is the two-headed creature formed by producer and musician Mario Conte and saxophonist Simone Garino, united since 2017 thanks to the attraction towards the most brave and experimental music.
MIZOOKSTRA debuts with the first single SESSION#5, released on June 12, 2020 on all digital platforms by Sangue Disken with the B-side-outtake SESSION#9. SESSION#5 is taken from the upcoming album Also Sprach MIZOOKSTRA (Nietzsche and Strauss are smiling, from another dimension …).
The synthetic component is analog: no laptops. All of the sounds you are going to listen, from melodies to rhythmic patterns, are instantly created. Nothing is pre-programmed. The sounds made by the saxophones are sampled, filtered and re-elaborated in a constant improvisational flow.
Therefore, every live show is unrepeatable, depending on the artists’ mood, on the location and on the very moment of the performance.
An ideal electroacoustic bridge between NYC loft jazz scene and Berghain dancefloor in Berlin.
The video for SESSION#5 is realized by Davide Tosco. It is a primitive composition of images that, following a dreamlike narrative, shows scraps of the world we live in through apparently distant associations.
