Andrea Scala with Stanford Cheung

Andrea Scala Solo Project (drums + electronics) : The project involves the use of acoustic drums, samples, and other electronic elements, all played in a sort of one-man band. These compositions incorporate abstract rhythms, textures, noises, and electronics through analog and digital processes. Everything is expressed through a system of improvisation within a musical structure, dictated by the interaction of different rhythms that overlap and generate incidents with further sounds in transit. In this project, the idea is to fuse all these elements and transport them beyond the static, aiming to express something happening in the moment, generating chaos and movement. A mix of organic and digital, human and machine, in total creative freedom, conceptually jazzy and adventurous.
