Musetta (IT)
[Electronica, Down-tempo , Trip Hop]

Musetta date back to 1998, when the early pop careers of Matteo Curcio and Marinella Mastrosimone converged. The musical roots of the duo are various: while Matteo got his background in electronic music since Kraftwerk and the german cosmic music scene...

...of the 70s while studying jazz, Marinella started studying jazz standards and later on the Indian classical music, taking private lessons at the Benares Hindustani University.

They started working together with the post-rock project Sunscape (releasing “Sunscape” for the Italian indie label Mellow Records in 1999), Matteo on the bass and Marinella on backing vocals.

Then Matteo called Marinella as vocalist on a couple of release of Transonia, an electro-house duo (Luca Baldini, the other half of the project, now is an acclaimed international DJ/Producer).

Later on they joined Giöbia, an alternative-rock project (releasing the single "Caught in Analogic Memories" followed by the album "Beyond the Stars", both for the UK label Silent Revolution).

In the meantime Marinella joined Country Joe Mc Donald (Country Joe and the Fish) italian tour as vocalist, while Matteo remix tracks of L.I.N., Lorbi, Gorj, Black Bit and Fabryka.

Musetta are now recording the last tracks of their debut album, while working on a live set with vintage VJ manipulations.
