Simone Menozzi (piano, electronics) & Marco Santilli (bass clarinet).
Stralüsh is the name of the Zurich-based duo from Ticino, as well as their debut EP. No one has yet been able to identify the precise style of this eclectic combination of sounds. Some call it dark trance jungle breakbeat jazz techno alternative. They, however, prefer to think in terms of what sounds cool, combining bass clarinet, piano and electronics. The result is waiting to be discovered.
The EP also contains a bonus track in a style approaching experimental free improvisation, inspired by contemporary classical music. Proof that the two don’t mind going outside the box too much.
The second EP “Bay Patsy” (released March 1, 2024) consists of five covers: Sing Sing Sing, Fever (featuring Paola Lepori), Eleanor Rigby, Cantina Band and Tetris. All pieces have been rearranged in typical Stralüsh style.
The third EP will see them return to original songs and will be released later in 2024.
