Alp King (Matteo Zulian) takes the eyes of the road with him as the street lives it, observes it and describes it in every freestyle. Everything is created on the spot. Storytelling takes place in real time on the basis of human beatboxes. Each sound comes from the voice and is recorded on a large loopstation with bass effects. Alp is not only to move among passers-by but is accompanied by the traveler Peyoti, who plays a classical guitar with a reggae and flamenco sound. Sounds and contents of different natures alternate according to the sensations of the two buskers. The two friends have traveled and played on the streets of Italy giving life to powerful grooves and melodic harmonization. The union between the ancient and known six-stringed instrument and the modern rhythmic language makes this entity the minstrel of the third millennium. After years of street and live music only, for Alp King it's time to put something significant on an audio support, digital and otherwise. Thanks to the collaboration with the faithful companion of adventures, artistic music curator and guitarist Peyoti, Andrea Spessa was born Bon Voyage. The opportunity to collaborate with other producers and sound engineers such as Ste G Belforte and Sherpa at the WB Productions house meant that a 6 track EP was developed in just two weeks. Released on TO Records, the sound Reggae, Dub, Drum & Bass and Electro Swing, has involved many of the friends musicians and not, the realities that have directly influenced the artistic journey of Matthew and have led to the completion of this work.
