TUSK 1 by MOODY MAMMOTH

"... an astute, focused dedication to the non conventional through... artistry and creative sonic exploration." TAXI

"Steele's 2007 collaboration with Stefano Zazzera and Moody Mammoth, Tusk 1, is a sick, trip-hop infused blend of storytelling and strings..." -Culturesauna

Tusk 1 is an electronica project helmed by Moody Mammoth's Stefano Zazzera. The album began as an electronica experiment around Stefano Zazzera's programming in real time and Rolando Macrini's composition. The album found feet when Brooklyn singer Kevin McWha Steele came on board with critically acclaimed vocalist Stephanie McKay who duets with him on "Even If". Other credited musicians include: Richard Cohen (Steve Reich Orchestra) clarinet on "Even If", Serjio Reies and Jisoo Ok (Hector Del Curto Orchestra) on violin and cello in "Mass Migration Part 2."

Tusk 1, with it's accessible electronic vibe is suitable for theater, film, and commercial television projects. Moody Mammoth Music is able to provide full versions, remixes, and instrumental versions of any and all tracks of interest.
