Reverse Engineering are Ariel Lerner (guitars, synths, programming, engineering) and Elisa -Zoot- Giacomini (vocals, keys, programming). Reverse Engineering's electronic-trip/hop-indie music is a liquid and mellow blend between electronic elements, guitars and vintage keys, with blue and smooth vocals. Ariel and Elisa met in Rome, in 2001. He was working as a sound engineer in a recording studio where she was auditioning for a vacant role as lead singer in a local band. She was ruled out, but discovered he had the same love she had for European trip-hop and electronic acts, so they began to make music together, inspired by artists such as Massive Attack, Radiohead, Bjork and Portishead. Their demos were featured twice as top demos on british specialized magazines (Sound on sound / Future Music) They kept working in the studio and also playing live gigs, both as a duo and (for a 2 year period) with a 5 elements band, opening for artists such as Laika and Ladytron (Rome, 2003 and 2007). In 2006 Reverse Engineering had their first release with a song (Heavy Nepal) featured in the compilation I-ndipendente (Edel), and in the same year they gathered many airplays, most of which within the show "Demo", broadcasted on "Radio Rai 1"(Italian nationwide frequency coverage radio). At the end of 2006 Reverse Engineering won the second position within the "Demo awards" (the show's musical contest), with the opportunity to play a brief show case during the "M.E.I. festival", the Italian independent labels' meeting in Faenza. Reverse Engineering just finished working on their first self produced album, "Bio illogical weh woh". They are now based in the U.K.
