SYSTEMET Zelo (3"cdr)
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!

SA22 MELTING MIND Tussio Session
(C90 recycled)
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synths, out-of-date keyboards and horns creates off-axis electronic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/
