Hypercube, drums without fears by Marco Buccelli – free preview
Marco Buccelli is a great NY based drummer, a teacher and a Karmadrums friend. Check out his debut album:
“Hypercube” is the debut album from Marco Buccelli, a musician who left Naples for the United States to study at Berklee College of Music and has become an emerging drummer on the New York scene.
Amidst tours between New York and Europe, Marco has recorded this album of rich sounds, rhythms, and melodies which are at once angular and fluid. An album in which the music created by Marco Buccelli and Federico Casagrande (guitar) flows without hesitation, nourished by the absolute technical mastery of their instruments and an uncompromisable creativity with which they travel assuredly down the difficult path of true improvisation.
Hypercube was born from a refound and refurbished collaboration between Marco Buccelli and Federico Casagrande. Their objective was to create an album of intuitive music which appeals to the sensibility of a wide and varied audience. The album, engineered by Dave Schoenwetter, was recorded in one session and is meticulously comprised of eight short improvised pieces selected from the thirteen tracks recorded. Post production focused on maintaing the creative choices and impulses of the original session. “Hypercube- Le Cose Grandi E Le Cose Piccole” is to be released in late September by Punto Rojo.
Ray Luzier “sick of those perfect-sounding records”
If you too don’t like the always-good-sounding music, you [we] are in a good company. Read what Korn’s Ray Luzier says about: “but, you know what, now when I look back, we are all humans, our hearts beat at different rates. I am so sick of those perfect-sounding records. Everything is fixed. It’s quantified, the vocals are perfect, and the drums are so perfect. You don’t sound like that live. So why are you doing it in the studio?”

Drummer dixit: Max Roach
“There are those who think that art is for the sake of art, but actually it never is. Art is a powerful weapon that society, or the powers that be, uses to control or direct the way people think. Culture is used to perpetuate the status quo of a society…. Even though I’m involved in music for the sake of entertainment, I always hope to offer some kind of enlightenment.”
