Trophies is :

Alessandro Bosetti - voice, electronics, text-sound composition
Kenta Nagai - fretless guitar
Tony Buck - drums

>>>>> Composer and sound artist Alessandro Bosetti is joined by Kenta Nagai, and Tony Buck for TROPHIES.
Focusing on loops of spoken/sung abstract and highly emotional poetry Bosetti has created a powerful trance band where voice and electronic sound melt with the hallucinatory fretless e-guitar playing of Kenta Nagai and the patiently groovy and virtuoso pulses of Tony Buck (The Necks). Trophies uses lenghty, repetitive and higlhy dinamic text-sound forms in a totally unique and genre defying way. Trophies, with two upcoming cd releases and a busy touring schedule has imposed itself as one of the most innovative combos of the last years.

>>>>> Central to the music of trophies is the voice or a multitude of voices.  A type of voices bordering song and speech but not embracing either one of those practices completely. Spoken/sung phrases are repeated over and over and embedded in a musical texture created by drums, fretless guitar and electronics. <<<<
