MANICBURG – “MONKEY WORLD”
A SPILL EXCLUSIVE VIDEO PREMIERE
Manicburg is a new project born in northern Manhattan. It is the trait d’union of two sonic worlds: that of NYC native Ray Lustig and Italy’s Luigi Porto.
While the band’s stage performances hearken to antique and dramatic public rites, their forthcoming self-titled debut spans a vast sonic palette at times reminiscent of modern post-punk, dreampop and art-rock artists like Blonde Redhead, Bauhaus and Radiohead. The duo’s intricately crafted songs are testament to Lustig and Porto’s vast training and experience in the field. To wit:
Ray Lustig, as a composer/performer (SEMMELWEIS, Latency Canons, Figments) has created for the symphonic stage, theatre, and mixed media, and he teaches composition at The Juilliard School. His music is performed and recorded by numerous orchestras, ensembles, and soloists around the world, at venues such as Carnegie Hall, the Bartok Plusz Opera Festival, and Lincoln Center.
Hailing from the Italian underground and experimental scene, Luigi Porto has released albums under several monikers (Appleyard College, Mond), and toured with bands (Maisie, Anima Virus), scored films (Uljhan, ArbΓ«ria), and composed for orchestra and stage. Besides performing solo and with ensembles, his music has been at Carnegie Hall, La Croisette, Stanislavsky Theatre and many international venues.
Their self-titled debut album Manicburg will be available on LP, CD and streaming/download via Respirano Records on October 25th, 2024.
