Primitive Art
Primitve Art is an experimental music band formed in Milan in 2011 by Matteo Pit and Jim C. Nedd. Established as a live performance project the duo debuted in 2013 with the studio work Problems, an album in which they presented for the first time a mixture of musical elements which places them outside genres. A sound where hypnotic rhythms, melancholic melodies, verses and words collide with each other creating strange soundscapes. In 2018 they released the EP Crab Suite on Arcola, the historic sub-label of Warp Records and in June 2019 they participated in the celebration of the thirty year anniversary of Warp Records with a mix of live recordings collected between 2018 and 2019. In 2020 Primitive Art debuted with the show Shelter Chapter 1 in Milan at Triennale Museum, including different expressive languages such as performance and visual arts. In 2023 the band released on Hundebiss Records, Extract 1, a track specially designed to be experienced as a cinema pour l'oreille piece.
