“Medusah is a sound journey that begins in the West and ends in the East. It starts gentle and ends up powerful and tense. It takes your breath away and in the end you find yourself as if you had flown over an Eastern country during a windy night“.
Out today on all digital platforms, Medusah is the new captivating single by the harpist Kety Fusco, taken as a preview from the EP The Shy Dancer announced for early May on the label United Soloists.
The young Italian-Swiss musician begins to play the harp at the age of 7. After graduating at the Conservatory, she has played as first harp with several orchestras and as a soloist performing in the Debussy’s Sacred and Profane Dances.
From the academic sphere to experimentation: Fusco chose then to play a new instrument, the electric harp.
In October 2016 she met Peter Kernel, an alt-rock band from the Ticinese scene, with whom she arranges, together with the Wicked Orchestra, their songs for a 12″ and some live gigs.
Fusco tours Europe playing in historic venues and important festivals, including Les Rockomotives in Vendôme (France) and Hop Pop Hop Festival in Orleans (France). During the tour she feels the need to write songs. Her own songs, oriented to modern classical music. In January 2017 she released her first enchanting single Floating Fragments, created with electric harp, loop machines, synthesizers, subwoofer. The journey as an independent artist is traced: the rhythmic single Tears & Drops and Moving In The Dark, recorded live, come out.
In her instrumental tracks we can find the influence of minimalism masters like Terry Riley, Alva Noto, Yann Tiersen and Jon Hopkins, in balance between avantgarde gracefulness and electronic tension. The adventure re-start now from the new Medusah, a track that gradually envelops listeners in its whirlpool of exotic nuances, pressing rhythms and chords plucked with increasing intensity.
