Editor's info:
Nohaybandatrio is a group which formed in Rome in 2004, when "Reeks" perfected a technique that made it possible for him to play both bass and guitar at the same time. The singular feature of this group springs from the dual role of every musician. The simultaneous use of drums and percussion instruments, of bass and guitar and of sax and live electronics creates the effect of listening to a sextet, an effect amplified by the spatial arrangement of the various sound signals (microphones and lines).
The fact of playing several instruments at the same time makes it possible for the group to engage in a wide variety of musical genres blended without the sound limits of a trio and without the help of pre-recorded sequences that might intertwine the improvised portions by diminishing the spectacular features of the performance, especially in live renditions.
Fixed motifs are woven into the free improvised portions that reveal the disparate influences on the musicians, influences that range from post-rock to funky, from rumorismo (noise-making) to jazz, from hardcore to progressive -- all without ever losing sight of the harmonic element.
The group plays and records only via live performances, without any dubbing whatsoever, in order not to give a false picture of its basic characteristics.
The video presentation provides further explanation and evidence on this subject.
