JUNGLEWIRE presents an innovative and expressive musical experience that is guaranteed to open your eyes and ears to new horizons in electronic music. DeCiutiis and Wasserman incorporate MIDI percussion controllers, keyboard and digital samplers to play original compositions and improvisations that comprise more than a dozen different Western and non-Western stylistic genres. They apply acoustic performance techniques to the electronic medium with arrangements of dramatic and orchestral themes for film and TV, contemporary Jazz and Fusion, New Age, Hip Hop, Funk, Trance-Ambient, Blues, as well as cross-cultural influences that draw on traditional ethnic sounds from West Africa, Japan, South America, the Caribbean, Indonesia, and India.
