JoyCut

JOYCUT is a creative music outpost formed in Bologna, Italy_
The project is named after the songs ‘Joey’ from Nick Drake’s Time of No Reply and the Pink Floyd’s The Final Cut_
After some sonic exploration on early recordings, JOYCUT’s most distinct sounds of syncretic-suburban-rock and dark-eco-wave bore true fruit with the 2011 release “GhostTreesWhereToDisappear”_

“PiecesOfUsWereLeftOnTheGround” took the band to new heights, evidenced by the album's continued success, with a never-ending tour of over 300 dates across North America, Asia and Europe, culminating in a Top 5 European Talent Exchange Programme [ETEP] position_
With the digital mantra #JoyCutNeverStops the band visited 3 continents, 74 countries, 216 cities, 48 headlining concerts in the USA, 75 festivals_

Following a scintillating TEDx talk and performance in Verona and inspired by their recent vivid tours in the East, JOYCUT made their debut at the Biennale di Venezia with their “Opera” in six acts K O M O R E B I: a soundtrack tribute to Japan_
Komorebi is the “distinctive effect of sunlight as it filters through the thin gossamer leaves of trees”_
The sold-out show was a combination of their dramatic music with visual art chapters that created a world to get lost in_

Robert Smith has kindly invited JOYCUT to headline the Purcell Room on 15 June 2018 as part of his Meltdown festival in London_

Their untaggable, mainly instrumental, music weaves a carpet of powerful sonic moments using electronic and orchestral breathings, cinematic saturations, tribal drumming and industrial percussion with found objects from the urban landscape_

The band focus on the dichotomy between elemental/tribal drumming and synth/electronic work and through this disunion they paint imagery of the struggle between technology, nature and humankind_

JOYCUT has a green philosophy and all of their production is 100% tied to a sustainable future. A future that they are already soundtracking_

The new album TheBluWave [TimesWhenSilenceIsAPoem - TheIceHasMelted - AndBleedingGlaciersFormOurTears]_ is out June 5th, World Environment Day_
