[Text available only in English] We are Frank Sinutre, an electronic project born in 2011 in Mantova (Italy) that uses home made electronic instruments as well as traditional ones.

Frank Sinutre is an Electronic project born in October 2011 in Mantova (Italy).
It is formed by Isi Pavanelli (ReactaBOX, synth, beat maker, vocoder) and Michele K. Menghinez (guitar, bass, lap steel guitar, vocals).
Since the beginning they played homemade electronic instruments such as Reactabox (a midi controller inspired by the famous Reactable™: it consists of a cube of light that works with an infrared webcam which works by reading images on little cubes and discs controllers that are placed and moved on the reactabox screen) and Drummabox (an acoustic drum machine based on Arduino).
In 2012 they released the first album “La Colpa della Leonessa Soundtrack”, a Soundtrack for the theatre play “La colpa della Leonessa”, directed by Anna Volpi and presented at “Festival de Teatro Social” in Valencia. Even the live-equipment is renewed: they built a second ReactaBOX more performing.
In March 2014 they realized the second album “Musique pour les Poissons” released by the New York label “System Recordings”. The album was released in conjunction and paired with the release of the book: “Racconti per Pesci del Mare d'Aria”. The videomaker Giovanni Tutti directed two videoclips of the single tracks of the album: “Someone's Dub” (a stop-motion video) and an electronic version of “Oye Como Va”.
In May 2017 Frank Sinutre reaches crowd funding target for the realization of the third reactabox (Reactabox-3 a new midi experience).
19th May 2017 their third album "The Boy Who Believed He Could Fly" has been released by the italian label New Model Label. From this third album, Giovanni Tutti realized two stop motion videos of the single tracks “Driving Thru a City by Night” and “Sunset with Sunrise”.
About “Sunset with Sunrise”, seven djs and producers from different parts of the world remixed it and these seven remixes have been included in an album “Sunset with Sunrise Remixes”, released by New Model Label in December 2018.
In July 17th 2020 New Model Label released brand new Frank Sinutre single track of their fourth studio album. Both the track and the album are called “200.000.000 Steps”.Giovanni Tutti directed the video of this song.
During these 9 years Frank Sinutre play in about 300 live gigs all over Italy, Swiss, Slovenia, Croatia and Austria.
