Rusconi - History Sugar Dream (2014)

Having played more than three hundred gigs since their formation in Zurich, Switzerland, RUSCONI has developed a near telepathic understanding of the dynamics that drives their individual muses. Mixing composition with improvisation, and electronic with analogue instruments, they have brought influences as disparate as Miles Davis, Pink Floyd, Can, Richard Strauss, Aphex Twin, Paul Bley, Sonic Youth and Nils Wogram to bear on a music that is nevertheless indisputably their own.

“History Sugar Dream” is a celebration of RUSCONI’s anniversary as a band. It is also an exploration of the three members’ memories of a time long before they came together to make music. “This album looks back to our childhood,” says the band. “A time when dreams and hopes, fantasy and illusion, were reality. A time of untrammeled playfulness and experimentation.” Deeply refreshing in its disregard for musical boundaries, “History Sugar Dream” offers a widescreen panoramic view of planet RUSCONI. New album is full dynamics of their close friendship, passion for music and curiosity in the world around them, a harmonious and continually inventive sound!

“‘History Sugar Dream’ is terrific fun. Ample proof, if proof were needed, that innovation and experiment do not need to be difficult to grasp or hard to listen to in order to be genuinely adventurous.”
