about
Hox Vox is a multimedia brand (music, videoclips, graphics), started in 2008, by Hox (b. Gianluca Missero, in Venezia, Italy - he plays also in The Wreck Up, Turbogrind Terrorizers and The Blasted Muffins). Influences are the Residents, Frank Zappa, Cardiacs, Mike Patton, John Zorn, Pere Ubu, Gentle Giant, Can & Les Claypool. The music environment is RIO / progressive rock, as a container for almost any genre, often mixing many of them in a single track. Hox plays bass (for both bass & guitar parts), keyboard & occasional vocals. Missero played in other two bands: bass and keyboards with Marco Bianchi (drummer of Death in Venice) in the avant-wave duo SlideStraviati, and keyboards in new wave Gunshot Nucleus again with Bianchi, Sebastian Russo (singer of Death in Venice) and Alberta Marchiori. Eight-Bit Deboned was composed and played in 1989 using a simple tracker, (Oktalizer 1.0 on an Amiga 500) and a few samples token from Amiga magazines' bonus disks and an Akai sampler. The resulting sound reminds of Residents or Fred Frith. It was spreaded on Amiga floppy disk in Octamed MOD format. Outskirt (2008) is a concept album about low inhabitated, or at least outside-centre areas. Genres vary according to the ambient, from kraut rock electronics to indie, jazz, death metal, avantgarde and more. Das Chamäleon (March 14, 2009) is a 5 tracks record about mutant music, obtained through bizzarre pairings or juxtaposing uneven genres. Étoile (July 4, 2009) is a concept album
