Since 2003 the Bruskers are Matteo Minozzi and Eugenio Polacchini.
The main feature of this guitar ensemble is the synthesis of the two different musical worlds and ways of understanding the guitar which reflect the musical education of the two musicians. Polacchini, who graduated in Classical guitar at the Conservatorio “Tonelli” in Carpi, epitomizes the typical “classical music player”, always capable of reaching the perfect execution, Minozzi instead studied under the direction of different guitar players and shows the artistic flair and the unconventionality of contemporary and jazz music. The two musicians share and combine their personalities in this experience and the result is an extremely various and eccentric mixture of ideas, sounds, and rhythms, whose contrasts are set apart by the common savoir-faire in favour of a inspired and original end product.
At the beginning busking was the main interest of the duo. They have performed at several street festivals in Italy as well as abroad. In the last few years they have been looking for more intimate atmospheres: they have privileged art exhibitions, theatre shows, private events. They’ve also had fun in joining some local radio station events. Minozzi and Polacchini are both teachers of the Music School of the “Fondazione C.G. Andreoli”, and solo guitar players in the Lybra Guitar Orchestra. The Bruskers have performed in Italy, France, Germany, Austria, Belgium, Hungary, and Portugal. They recorded their first cd in 2006, Blue Bruskers, a live collection of jazz and bossanova standards.
In July 2009 the Bruskers presented their brand new work: a CD named Guitar Sketch, a musical sketch which takes famous jazz standards as its starting point and leads them to an unconventional and daring mixture of original rhythms, creative ideas and ingenious virtuosity.
Until the beginnig of 2008 a third guitarist, Giorgio Borgatti, played with the Bruskers.
La formazione dei Bruskers è costituita da Matteo Minozzi ed Eugenio Polacchini.
La singolarità di questo duo chitarristico sta nell’audace accostamento dei due mondi musicali propri della formazione dei due chitarristi: di stampo prettamente classico per Polacchini, moderna per Minozzi. Da questo contatto, a volte più timido altre al limite della spregiudicatezza, emerge uno stile intrigante e coinvolgente frutto di un insieme di idee, sonorità, fraseggi e ritmiche estremamente eterogenei ma legati da una visione comune che elimina i contrasti ed esalta la creatività.
I Bruskers compiono i primi passi nel 2003. Inizialmente, affascinati dal mondo degli artisti di strada partecipano a numerosi festival in diverse città italiane (Ferrara Buskers Festival, Chietinstrada) ed estere (tra cui Monaco di Baviera e Salisburgo). In seguito, il desiderio di atmosfere intimistiche li porta a ricercare un pubblico più adatto ad un ascolto più attento ed esigente in locali, teatri, eventi privati, mostre d’arte. Tra le esperienze dei Bruskers rientrano anche interessanti e spiritose collaborazioni con network locali.
Nel Luglio 2009 i Bruskers presentano il loro nuovo lavoro intitolato Guitar Sketch, uno schizzo musicale che parte da famosi standard jazz e si disegna con stili, ironia, ritmo, tra melodia e virtuosismo, a due chitarre. Queste originali e inconfondibili reinterpretazioni, libere da qualsiasi vincolo formale, generano nuove idee musicali definibili semplicemente come “non convenzionali”.
I Bruskers hanno suonato in Italia, Francia, Germania, Austria, Belgio, Ungheria e Portogallo, in duo o come solisti della Lybra Guitar Orchestra, l’orchestra di sole chitarre di cui fanno parte, diretta da Mauro Bruschi.

L’idea è quella di fotografare “La Musica”, termine questo che può racchiudere molteplici significati. Non soltanto il musicista, ma anche il pubblico, l’ascoltatore, il balletto, il liutaio, il particolare di uno strumento, l’allestimento di uno spettacolo musicale...o un immagine che "ha" un suono o "esprime" un ritmo…
Calendario: Termine presentazione opere: 30 Settembre 2009. Comunicazione risultati entro il 23 Ottobre 2009. Premiazione: Sabato 7 Novembre 2009 ore 17:00 C/o Sala Consiliare del Comune di San Miniato (Pi) esposizioni a San Miniato, Castelfranco, Montopoli, Casciana Terme, Pontedera, Cascina, Vicopisano...
