roscius

After a few years dedicated to composing & producing scores for movies, series & documentaries, roscius is back with full length album, OUT NOW on his imprint nomadic recordings !

Niche percussionist, live performer, diy producer & composer, roscius has spent the last decade building himself a unique reputation in the alternative music world. Mastering the art of improvisation, combining percussive experiments, lyric-less vocals, rare live sampling and harmonization skills, roscius “creates a unique and absorbing soundscape, genuinely innovative and emotional”.
Touring independently from Beirut to Glastonbury Festival, via We Love Green (Paris), Clockenflap (Hong Kong), ADE, New York, Berlin, Salvador (Bahia, BR), enabled him to collect crafted music instruments, his most recent asset being a chromatic balafon handmade in Burkina Faso, which he plays with 4 soft mallets, in order to create his very own organic musical and cinematic journey, sailing from nu Jazz to an acoustic version of progressive garage, uk house or groovy techno, with touches of bulgarian and pygmies-influenced singing, south american rhythm patterns, asian gongs blended with west african time signatures.

His peculiar way of mingling genres enabled him to share stages with heavy weights such as <a href="spotify:artist:6jOz2B9qeID4dLP1o8bFGf" data-name="Crazy P">Crazy P</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:7yxi31szvlbwvKq9dYOmFI" data-name="Jon Hopkins">Jon Hopkins</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:19CMctG8DNWO0rHPE98ujj" data-name="Francesco Tristano">Francesco Tristano</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:5aC4E0zUYjfN871T66NHge" data-name="Coco Maria">Coco Maria</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:3GgEjl6j7ky6U13LvKa5vy" data-name="Keiichiro Shibuya">Keiichiro Shibuya</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:2tSv9mEQSuNVMGr9qjYfkr" data-name="Mykki Blanco">Mykki Blanco</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:3LHqODf1hGAgZ5LTw1Gf4C" data-name="Acid Pauli">Acid Pauli</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:3nQ54DU81YK9Km3HpasdH6" data-name="Terry Francis">Terry Francis</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:3jy2pJyyUcddwipP6wqR8l" data-name="JSPHYNX">JSPHYNX</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:72udTJKu1pGovvS9aCYGMI" data-name="Marc Rebillet">Marc Rebillet</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:0KydPQPUUoTNhmiHKOg5Er" data-name="Neon Indian">Neon Indian</a> or anglo-zulu (and Steam Down vocalist) <a href="spotify:artist:33YFO60EsYiELGlIxVioxD" data-name="DemiMa">DemiMa</a>.
