Cristiano Luciani (drums, electronics, objects) and Marco Maurizi (guitar, electronics, objects) started to play as “Lendormin” in 2001 as an improvisation-duet, dedicated to spontaneous composition: decomposing rock, dada incursions, noise architectures and soundtracks for imaginary movies.
Lendormin is always open to collaboration with various artists and to explore the possibilities of superseding genre because labels and definitions means nothing for the listening ear: they are means of music repression.
This led us to work with artists coming from different experiences like: d.b.p.i.t., Luca Miti, Kumiko Okamura, Ben Watson, Sean Bonney, Len Massey, T.h.f. Drenching, Ken Ueno, Sonic pleasure, ioioi, Helena Velena, Xabier Irondo, Tiziana Loconte, Ian Mclahan, Madam P, Stefano Giust, Mattia Coletti, Ben Presto and Pico Sadun (Larsen lombriki), Carlo Ronchi (Tasaday), Daniele Malavasi (Tasaday, Runi) Marco Carcasi (Kar), Nico Mangifesta, Marco Visconti Prasca, Torturing nurse, Kenji Siratori, Eugene Chadbourne, Gene Coleman.
We performed in Europe and Asia: at the avant-rock festival Newton in Latina, at the University of Rome “La Sapienza”, at the Bonnington Centre and at the Royal College of Art in London, at festival Modulor in Recanati and at “Ubusettete” in Rome. We did some shows on "Resonance" radio in London hosted by Out To Lunch. Cristiano played at the festival NOISHANGHAI in Shanghai, at the "Minimidifestival" in Beijing and at the "Lunatic scopes" in Tokyo.
