about

The Box is a collaboration in which Francesco Cusa (drums) and Tonino Miano (keyboards/electronics) weave the thread of a musical discourse that draws inspiration from the multiple experiences that characterize their varied life paths. These experiences converge in a multi-stylistic play without filters in which the sound image is constantly evolving and it creates the conditions for its intercession from one landscape to another. The idea of a journey between the familiar and the unknown comes to mind while listening to their musical plot, which morphs from a pulsating acid jazz to a meditative ambient, from almost orchestral textures to pointillistic sparks in which the forms - malleable until that moment - disintegrate to produce an image that manifests itself in its outmost immediacy, stripped of all its expressive linearity. This is a duo that does not filter ideas but opens up widely to welcome the unknown and often the uncomfortable, chasing the idea wherever it may lead so that a new discovery might be accessed; a different way of listening to music and to each other.
