Claudio Rocchetti

Claudio Rocchetti, born in Bolzano in 1976, came out of the straight-edge hardcore scene and went on to explore the many realms of noise. He played his self-described destructive DJ sets within Sonic Belligeranza, the group, label and collective that shook up the Italian underground at the turn of the 2000s, and was a member of 3/4HadBeenEliminated with Stefano Pilia and Valerio Tricoli. His own work is now the composition of cinematic musical landscapes built from rare old records, dusty analogue instruments and objects: old radios, customised turntables, gramophones, tape.

Oblivion
Die Scahchtel is very happy to present the long-awaited return of 3/4HadBeenEliminated. The group (guitarist/double bassist Stefano Pilia, turntablist/sound assembler Claudio Rocchetti, tape manipulator/vocalist/guitarist Valerio Tricoli) has created a work wich is at the same time new and refreshing and yet completely consistent with their vision: a deep interaction between human, environment, traditional instruments and live electronics that creates a floating atmosphere filled with a natural …

these are the days
out of print LP, "These are the days" is a collection of short pieces all around of memory concept... a sort of back-up of experiences on Claudio's preferred media (tapes and vinyls). Tapes and vinyls are here used in a double way: in their common way, the Universal recognized one. As sound reproducers, as technological element of our day-life with their own personal story linked to all the people who owned them... they are full of memory, they are part of our World. But if you change the rules …
Phonorama
A very nice compilation distributed worldwide by Wire and produced by Xing. Fragments of Phonorama were recorded live at Raum, Bologna, in 2006-07 from two collective performances conceived by Riccardo Benassi for Xing. The original recordings were re-shaped and re-composed in Berlin by Valerio Tricoli and Riccardo Benassi. Phonorama is a live electronics happening generated from improvisations by 20 musicians to create a collective soundtrack. One long environmental suite involving some of the …
Another piece of teenage wildlife
Taking plaintive tones of drone music and early electronic and tape experiments, 3/4hadbeeneliminated former member Claudio Rocchetti has absolutely defined a sound, building a subtle, majestic landscape. Using awide variety of instruments (synth, tone generators, organs, guitar, tape machines) he creates an absorbing sound that is mainly layers of loopsfading in and over each other, ethereal vocals, repetition, melody, noise. An emotional resonance with a tinge of melancholia that permea…

I could go on singing
After experiencing the straight-edge hardcore scene, he began exploring the many realms of noise. He played his "destructive" djing within the group/label/collective Sonic Belligeranza. Rocchetti is now working on the composition of cinematic musical landscapes with the aid of old rare records, dusty analogue instruments as source material (old radios, customized turntables, grammophones...).
A year of the aural gauge operation
3/4's new album, A Year Of The Aural Gauge Operation, was recorded in their own studio in Bologna along 2004. It features nine songs composed after live improvisations, all of them quite different in genre, but again 3/4's aim is to create a psychedelic musical flow, one in which new elements and different styles can be superimposed to enrich and develop the peculiar narrative of the album. We generally think of it as a opera. "A collection of off-centre songs verging on…
