Today such rare thing is happening in a different way and outside traditional discography to our “faboulous four”: Manuele Montesanti (Piano/synth), Federico Malaman (electric bass guitar), Daniele Chiantese (drums) and Matteo Mancuso (electric guitar); they are inspired by Bach, Miles Davies, Frank Zappa and by the best fusion music.

The connection with these musical worlds is exactly the reason why they met. Sound design experiments via software and an in-depth knowledge of synthesizer programming are at the basis of Drift-Lab musical composition, as originally conceived by Manuele Montesanti. The fluidity of Chiantese’s groove, the playful Malaman’s virtuosity and the phrasing by the multifaceted Mancuso’s personality transform Drift-Lab performances in an expressive creativity and technical virtuosity combination that always remains at the service of the composition.
