Biography
Monkeeastronaut is a solo project of the Italian musician Riccardo Occhionero.
The purpose is to bring an experimental mixture of soundscapes trying to evoke for the listener a sense of bewilderment, fear and astonishment, just like a monkey could feel travelling through space. Basically it's an attempt to explore how human curiosity and arrogance can generate forms of evil that are against the nature of things, using innocent living forms as oblivious witnesses of the utopistic reach of a knowledge that is far beyond the present step in evolution.
Oh and there's some random improvisation as well.
