The Festival
The 4th edition of Scrusci Festival, a festival of sound and sensory experiment for lovers of non-conventional music. With two days dedicated to the appreciation of music and the nature that surrounds us, Scrusci is a unique opportunity for rare musicians and music lovers to meet in an informal atmosphere with a group of artists from the field of improvisational and experimental music. The evening of 24th of August will open with the drummer Ken Hyder (vocal, drums, sound objects) with a shamanic mix of folk, Celtic and jazz music, followed by Camusi comprised of Stefano Giust (drums) and Patrizia Oliva (vocal, electronica), who present the union of loop vocal and drum rhythm. And finally, the electric sounds of musician and experimentalist of the new generation, Atori Yumi will close the evening. Sicilian poly-instrumental improvisor, Aldo Ammirata will open the second evening on 25th August with his experimental project ‘Empirical Evidence’, followed by English musician Illi Adato and Sicilian dancer Lavinia Cascone performing with local musicians and artists a piece of combined music and dance entitled ‘A Living Score’. Roberto Fega from Rome will perform with a single horn and stratified electronic sound and the evening will conclude with Scrusci Ensemble leading a jam session– a moment of musical interaction and exchange open to all artists participating in festival.
Workshop
During the Scrusci Festival there will also be two intensive workshops: one related to deepening our understanding of music and dance improvisation and the other dedicated to soundscape and the relation between sounds and our environment/community.
