ACUSMATIC GROUP LIVE QUARTET
performing "Fish Food" at Jazz:Re:Found Festival 2009 Sat. 27th June - Vercelli - Italy
Last live show at Jazz:Re:Found Festival, with LAMB, FLOWRIDERS Feat. COLONEL RED, DJ PANDAJ, PAINE', ENIAC // Sat. 27th June - Vercelli - Italy
ACUSMATIC GROUP is an instrumental cinematic-jazz-funk studio project, founded by 2 musicians / producers (Romeo Sandri and Michele Berselli) based in the North-West of Italy. ACUSMATIC GROUP are inspired by spy movies atmospheres, blaxploitation and 70's Italian cop movies. They combine the magic of 'crime jazz' and funk from those days, giving it a fresh treatment with today's hip hop grooves.
"Pilot" is their debut album, released on La Douce (IRMA records). It contains only original compositions, except for one very special cover of 'Walkin' On The Moon' by The Police that could easily come from the soundtrack of 'Shaft'. Despite the fact that ACUSMATIC GROUP have had no releases so far, their sound has already gained many international supporters thanks to their My Space. Among them UK radio DJ Stuart Chalk, who played some of their tunes on his 'Vibes Unlimited' show.
ACUSMATIC GROUP's live line-up is a quintet, with a pulsing rhythm section and a rich instrumentation (clavinets, Rhodes, Wurlitzer, wah guitars, flutes, sax). The addition of samplers and a few digital gimmicks give birth to their original hip-jazz-funk sound.

They told about AG
Alessio Bertallot _B-Side/Radiodeejay // "Trovo geniale questa versione che hanno fatto gli Acusmatic Group di "Walking on the moon" .. hanno fatto diventare polizieschi i Police ; ).. veramente bello.. un disco interamente concepito con questo tipo di ispirazione"
Alias // Occhio all'Acusmatic group [...] Walking on the Moon dei Police può trasfigurarsi e rinascere ad Harlem .. Francesco Adinolfi
Rumore // [...] un presente splendente come la pelata di Isaac Hayes. Sono in due (allargati a quintetto per i concerti) ed espandono la cartucciera poliziottesca in caldo acid (jazz) funk. Bolle dub, vibrazioni criminali [...] Fiati, piano elettrico, Luis Bacalov, percussioni, flauto, Lalo Schifrin e passamontagna nel portaoggetti della Giulia. Maurizio Blatto
Alternatizine.com // [...] Lalo Schifrin e Curtis Mayfield a braccetto con Franco Micalizzi e Piero Piccioni, Flanger e i Cinematic orchestra! JD Tiki
Dusty Groove America // [...] The approach is great - almost like they've stripped down rare grooves from the blaxploitation era, they built them up again using their own instrumentation - often handled with a spare jazz funk quality that's really great!
Solo Moderna // Hi AG, looooove this very much!! Digs right into the things I like.
Bajka // youre music= fantastic! Big respect!
Stuart Chalk (Vibes Unlimited radio show/Totally Radio) // Hi guys, new track is sounding coooolll. Nice... I got the album, sounding great!
Montefiori Cocktail // COMPLIMENI PER IL VS SOUND... CINEMATICO!
