Bruskers 相關介紹:
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, is a classical music player, 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 an 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 theatre shows, auditoriums, art exhibitions etc. 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, Spain, France, Germany, Austria, Belgium, Hungary, and Portugal. They have also attended some international guitar festivals as "Arte a 6 Corde", "San Benedetto Po Guitar Festival" and "Acoustic Franciacorta".
In July 2009 the Bruskers presented their first studio-recorded 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. In 2010 the Italian label “Fingerpicking.net” has reprinted "Guitar Sketch". The CD “Guitar Sketch” has been reviewed by different Italian guitar magazines (Chitarre, Axe Magazine) and by national and international web-sites in the US, in France and in Canada. “Guitar Sketch” has been sold in Europe, in the US, in Canada and in Japan. In December 2011 the Bruskers released their new CD, named “Addition”, the second with the label "Fingerpicking.net".
Since 2011 Eugenio Polacchini and Matteo Minozzi have been endorser for the Swiss company Schertler, specialized in amplifiers for acoustic stringed instruments. They also collaborate with the German company "Frameworks Guitar", specialized in silent-guitar lutherie.
