At the beginning of 1995 roman duo stefano curti and mauro ruvolo awoke a ferocious beast that would become known the world over as bio muse. After being picked up by Tony Thorpe’s acclaimed Language imprint they proceeded to release their debut album “Wrong”, hailed as a “startling debut of growling, fucked-up feedback dementia from the brilliant Italian low-end extremists” by i-D magazine. With further rave reviews from NME, Muzik and Mixmag, it became clear the beast was here to stay.
The impeccable production skills showcased on their landmark debut also helped establish them as prolific remixers throughout the tail end of the 90’s, only finding time to develop compilation tracks at the request of luminaries like Kevin Martin. In early 2000 the beast was put back to bed as stefano embarked on a new project distributing experimental cinema and video art (www.rarovideo.com) and mauro immersed himself in scoring films, studying jazz guitar and fine tuning various audio restoration projects including Andy Warhol’s “Vinyl” and “The Velvet Underground and Nico”.
In 2003 the beast came calling again and the pair started writing new material, this time with new blood in the shape of Nina Walsh. The experimental electronica label boss of Sabrettes and guitarist/vocalist and writer with “Slab” can be found singing on the new “Two Lone Swordsmen” album or taming the machines in her studio finishing her debut solo album. The result of this collaboration is a bass-heavy, rip snorting two track 7” that is sure to scare all but the most hardened experimentalists. It’s a full on attack of the eardrums, from Occasionally in a Way’s gut churning bass line to the relentless feedback screams of Tacky Piranha, this is truly a record you’ll either love or hate, but those who love it will f*cking worship it!
This grisly package also includes a DVD featuring the videos of the vinyl tracks, composed of footage taken from director Paolo Gioli's old films - stitched together in pure analogue fashion. There is also a bonus nasty Sporanex, a filthy slice of twisted metal, dominated by Nina’s distinctive vocal and who’s video contains exclusive footage shot during the 2001 G8 summit in Genoa.
Gioli and Bio Muse met by coincidence and the relationship was formed when by mistake Stefano brought some of Gioli's film works in to the studio while the band were recording a track and immediately they recognised an interaction between the music and images. Although Gioli's a 60 year old who usually listens to classical music, he surprisingly liked what Bio Muse were doing and commissioned them to write the soundtrack for a new 20 minute short movie of his based on the animation of some Marilyn Monroe rare photographs.
With an album scheduled for release early next year expect some more “electronic adventures of the seriously twisted kind…”
“…combine the fury of Aphex with a twisted funk-rock jam. Trip-hop’s answer to Led Zep” (NME)
“Takes the concept of metal-funk to ultra-intense extremes… more demanding than a Baader-Meinhof ransom note” (MUZIK)
“Seriously twisted… hypnotic in an ugly kind of way, a bit like the way you can’t tear your eyes away from a serious accident” (MIXMAG)
"occasionally in a way" and "tacky piranha" video's have been made using no computer or digital filming - all 100% pure anolog productions).
