        "location" : "Sannicandro di Bari, Italy",
        "bio" : "Kinky atoms. Lightrain. Chaos. No meditation. Metropolitan subways. Sitting on a meadow, waiting for the dawn.\n\nKinky atoms is a duo. The minds behind it are Fabio Properzi and Roberto Matarrese, both musicians and producers with a strong attitude to experimentation.\n\nTheir suitability to play several instruments brings them to play with sounds, diving them in computers or playing in their personal way.\n\nTheir idea of electronic music is that the sound source must belong to the human touch, as the instruments played.\n\nAnyway they think computer has a soul, but this soul is too perfect. Just let it make mistakes from time to time...\n\nFabio Properzi plays piano, guitar and bass and is the voice of the project, Roberto plays guitar, bass, live electronics and he's a sound engineer too, and they both take care of the electronic production and the experimentation.\n\nFabio is the craziest part of the project, Roberto is the the rational one. They adore glitches, antiphase, the imperfections within an improvised recording session, 8-bit tones and analog electronic sounds.\n\nThey create their own soundbanks using everything surrounding them, even if it's an empty water tank struck with a drum stick.\n\nTheir attitude in livesets is to play all that is playable, creating shows that join live electronics and intruments such as piano and electric guitars.\n\nActive on the italian music scene since 2006, already the mind and pen behind the band Ameba4, Fabio Properzi is a singer, musician, artistic- producer, arranger and song writer for some of the new emerging italian talents. He has worked as an author for Sugar Music from 2005 to 2012, being professionally mentored by Corrado Rustici. Inspired by the atmospheres of Nigel Godrich's music, Properzi's artistic production looks firmly at the future.\n\nAmeba4 was the first project of Fabio Properzi, who also authored both lyrics and music production. During 2005 he begun a partnership with Ermal Meta and Roberto Matarrese, although the origins of the band date back as far as 1997. Ameba4 moved in the shadows for years, they composed and studied music thoroughly before bringing it to higher levels, such was the case with Festival of Sanremo in 2006, where the band competed in the \"Young\" category with the hit \"Rido...forse mi sbaglio\", Arezzo Wave Love Festival and M.E.I.\n\nIn the same year Sugar published the band's first album, a project that saw the cooperation of Giuliano Sangiorgi (Negramaro) who wrote the song \"Strade da disegnare\". The sounds of Ameba4 are a union of rock and electronic music, characterized by melodies \"in crescendo\", sometimes delicate, other times drammatic. The lyrics testify the raising consciousness about the lack of communication between people, the degeneration of which can lead to war, to the destruction of the environment and generally speaking, to the sense of estrangement of modern societies.\n\nIn 2007 Fabio Properzi cooperated with Corrado Rustici on the album 'Deconstruction of Postmodern Musician' for which he wrote and sung \"Chiudi gli occhi\".\n\nFabio has also recently undertaken a joint project with Giulia Riboli called Tears of Sirens, available on Magnatune.\n\nRoberto Matarrese is active in the music field since he was a kid. Born in a family of musicians, he started to play keyboard and guitar at the age of 11.\n\nIn his teenage years, he played in several bands as guitarist. In the meanwhile, combining his two main interests, music and computers, he became interested in the world of electronic music. He started to produce electronic music in 1997, at the age of 15.\n\nImmediately after taking his degree in computer science, he got interested sound engineering. In his career as a sound engineer and producer, he worked with many italian bands and artists, in studio as well as live, and worked on projects that have been produced by various Italian labels, like Universal Music Italy, Sugar Music, Carosello, Rai Trade, etc.\n\nHe's also active in contemporary arts. He participated as sound artist for many installations, including interactive ones. Roberto is also a sound engeneering researcher for the University of Architecture of Bari (Italy). His band, besides Kinky Atoms, is LogisticDubLab, an experimental music project combining live electronic music with drums and guitars.\n\nBrains can be electronic, computer core can be human.",
