Philosophy

Environment

JoyCut has a green philosophy and all of their production is 100% tied to a sustainable future.[8]

Commitment to environmental issues has led JOYCUT to participate in many sustainability green projects and campaigns. From recording the anthem Clean Planet, composed as a testament to Mother Nature's rights, to recording at studios completely powered by solar panels, JOYCUT recycle and up-cycle all sorts of materials and machines as part of its setup. “We use only mater-bi and biophan for the packaging, and water based inks and vegetable glues for printing”. JOYCUT works towards reducing its environmental impact as much as possible.

"Nature has always been at the heart of our philosophy, because it inspires us conceptually during our musical research and exploration, as well as allowing us to innovate. It's been a real eye-opener for us, after such a long time, to discover that innovation can also come from nature: nature, although it is pastoral and fierce, doesn't just stand there watching us and is also capable of interacting and even becoming technology".

"We carried out various sustainability campaigns with International Associations, such as 350.org, and our very own Italian Climate Network, but above all, we carried out a campaign called GhostTreesForest". In 2009 all 120,000 copies of the La Repubblica’s influential XL magazine were wrapped in “Mater-bi" a bio-plastic made from potato starch. "Our main objective was to show to a larger audience that a tactile earthy experience can still, somehow always be -part of everyday life, and in some ways -t can lead us to discover something we should have already known". Together with the magazine came a leaflet explaining how bio-plastic is made, and a CD showcasing the nature of our sound, a free CD wrapped in 100% biodegradable packaging, made of plant-derived glues and water-based inks; even our band merchandising can consist of biologic and natural fibers.” [9]

#WeAreAllCaptains Campaign

“Act so that your every action is worthy of becoming an example for others. This makes every individual a possible "Captain", not only in football, not only in the field, not just in sport …” Wearing JoyCut armband Parma Calcio 1913 [10] won the 2016-2017 championship. The football team was promoted from Lega Pro to Serie B without loosing any match. Potenza Calcio is now wearing JoyCut armband and it is first in his league [11]
