SEC_
SEC_ is the solo project of Mimmo Napolitano, a musician based in Naples. His music draws on musique concrète and noise, and his live sets are built around a Revox B77 reel-to-reel tape machine pushed into no-input feedback together with other sound sources. Napolitano has a long-running duo with the French tape and electroacoustic musician Jérôme Noetinger: Testacoda appeared on Bocian in 2012 and La Cave Des Etendards on Mikroton. His solo records include Moscaio (Bocian) and Mefite.
