Zelo is the dialect name for a mountain of the Dolomiti Bellunesi National Park, on who’s peak, high 2083m, this music was recorded. November in the alps is grim and wet, the tracks are all iced, the forests immaculate and silent. The trek is long, dangerous yet peaceful and magical. It is two of us climbing the rocky top, trying to grab anything that came out of the snow in search of grip. Our backpacks are full of speakers, amps, food and ELI, one of our synthesizers. On the mountaintop, after five hours of cautious hiking, we get a complete view of the Dolomites and Prealps; immersed in solitude in this extreme and metaphysical context, we deploy Systemet in quadriphony. Enjoy the result! Enjoy the Nekrodrone!

Edition of 20
On New Year's Eve, 2020 a group of wild friends met to play music
and party in a remote and uninhabited location in central Italy.
The result of these sessions was more than 3 hours of raw material
recorded directly on tape through a cheap tape recorder.
Tussio Session contains about 90 minutes of that fully improvised
sonic experience, where the intensive use of magnetic tapes, modular
synths, out-of-date keyboards and horns creates off-axis electronic
moods layered in different shades.
Screwed drones, liquid squeaks, hints of acid keyboards, meditative
clarinet solos in a free form cauldron: for lo-fi abstract electronic lovers!
Line up: David Vanzan/Virginia Genta/Cristiano Carosi/
Michele Mazzani/Matteo Poggi
Troglosound / Swollen Avantgarde edition

Reverberall is the moniker under which lies Riccardo Poli (Kranio Strasciolto, Eclisse Cremisi) struggling with prepared tapes and stomp boxes. Evocative, obscure and emotional soundscapes are screwed into melancholic, dense ambient textures where distant lyrics serve as wildflowers in a no beat area.

SA02 RIASNI DROVA CONSORT Close enough to see the sheep (C40)
"all of our recording sessions are in some way an extension of singing stuff at home, even if no voice ends up in the final version. and i cut a couple of verses from our recording of "ca' the yowes" because we botched them... so it's incomplete on the tape, but better for that"
