Motore Primo
Zone Démersale is a techno/ambient duo formed by producer Michele Ferretti (Nubilum) and sound artist Pietro Riparbelli (already under Touch, Important Records and 20 Bucks Spin, among others). The project starts from a conceptual and aesthetic reflection (both members have philosophical training) to move into minimalism, transcendental spiritualism, cosmic music and sonic spatiality through a constant phonic and compositional research. Their tracks are produced using various vintage hardware, f…
Abisso Del Passato 1
'Be Maledetto Now! (a pairing of Be Invisible Now! and Maledetto/Nihil is Me) adopt the unusual practice of issuing an album as separate parts, the first, Abisso del Passato pt. 1, on 180 gram vinyl and the second, Abisso del Passato pt. 2, on CD. Generating the releases' hour of material using analogue synthesizers, effects, and treated guitar (after three years spent jamming and recording), the outfit takes its inspiration from Philip K. Dick (The Man in the High Castle , Do Androids Dream of …

Detrimental Dialogue
Tip! Andrea Marutti and Fausto Balbo met in 2005 at Lab12 in Vigevano; both active in music making since more than fifteen years, their friendship grown over the years on the fertile ground of the interest they share about electronic experimentation and their wide and open-minded listening habits. “Detrimental Dialogue”, their very first collaboration, deeply explores various types of analogue and digital synthesis (additive, subtractive, Physical Modeling, FM, Phase Distortion, Granular, etc.) …
Sex and Dead Cities
Sardinian hinterland is something else in comparison to the idyllic postcards of the high bathing season. It is something else also from what you see in the folklore documentaries about the Sardinian traditional masks. The land is bleak, made of stones and basaltic boulders, the landscape is fractured, broke up. Cities like Macomer, where Hermetic Brotherhood of Lux-Or lives, are agglomerations of concrete barracks, rough roads, closed factories, industrial and commercial decadence. Only local…
Ecolalia
Vivien Le Fay is a multi-disciplinary artist who mixes her sociology studies, her classes with Alejandro Jodorowski, dance and photography classes until the traces of the different expressive styles are lost in her personal path. Her interest in music started with orthodox new wave, passing through the physicality of hardcore until the discovery of the latest generation of electronic sound designers. She started working as a guitar technician for noise bands while deepening her knowledge of the …
Ganzfeld
Von Tesla is an electronic musician originating from the north-east of Italy. He uses analog / digital hardware and programmable softwares to investigate all the different aspects of beat driven electronic music. He does it from an unexpected point of view, using asymmetrical rhythms and pulses as sounds. Von Tesla creates intricate sound structures for imaginary worlds, pop music for complex AI algorithms, soundtracks for self-driving aircrafts. Ganzfeld is a phenomenon of perception caused by …
Hyperbeatz Vol.1
dTHEd is Fabio Ricci (Vonneumann, Routine), Simone Lanari (Ask The White, Ant Lion, Walden Waltz, Sycamore Age), Isobel Blank (Ask The White, Ant Lion, Isobi, Vestfalia) and machines/AI. dTHEd was born in 2018: during the organization of the debut of Ask The White, Sum and Subtraction. Seeking some uninterested feedback, Fabio invited Simone and Isobel to listen to some of the hyperbeatz he had been working on after the release of vonneumann's album NorN. What he got back was an embryo of a very…
Il Ciclo del Vuoto
Neunau is an artistic project focused on sound research, started in 2015 in Valcamonica. This ancient name was found carved on a rock surface in the LOA area, an Iron Age sacred place of recent discovery. The project is carried out through an archaeological and musicological approach to the sound research. In 2017, under a commission by Comme des Garçons, Neunau produced the music track 'Concrete', also working along with Vice France on the creation of the video documentary 'Sound of Concrete', …
Minus Plus Escapism
Minus Plus Escapism is the third album from Everest Magma, which follows "Modern/Antique" and "Gnosis", both released by Boring Machines.This record is inspired by Salvia Divinorum. It has been played using an acoustic guitar, voice, various effects and tape recordings. It’s acoustic music which sounds like an electronic record, or maybe the contrary. There are songs but there are no lyrics to it, the voice is an instrument, but you can sing along if you so wish. What emerges is a blues for the …
Il Vento Disperderà la Schiuma
Boring Machine released the first work by Fabio Orsi after his move from native Puglia to Berlin many years ago. The record was the obsessive “Wo Ist Behle?” which reflected the heavy mark on Orsi who has been stricken and enthused by the psichedelic feeling of the long Berlin winter. Covered in snow, the most remote places of the city have the same hazy feeling of the hot summer days in Salento but the glacial weather gives a different perspective and transforms the atmosphere perception.Then w…
Bloom Into Night
Bloom Into Night is the new album from ByMyDelay, the solo project of Marcella Riccardi (Blake/e/e/e, Franklin Delano, Massimo Volume) started in 2011, initially as a one-woman band with an array of loopers end effects to accompany her own songs. During time she got closer to a lysergic kind of folk music, always in between British Folk and West Coast style and in recent times she further opened the structures of her songs, which became more and more stretched out and free-form, like a river wit…
Steadfast on our Sand
Steadfast on our Sand is a documentary about landscape creation and nature control. A mesmeric film about the islander community and its contradictory habits and traditions. A cowboy movie with herds running in the meadow at sunset and white horses resting in the dark of the night, a documentary film about artificial nature and landscape design, a scary movie with zombies and ghosts. J.H. Guraj contributed some music to the documentary by Zimmerfrei and we liked it so much we decided to release …
Casilina Tapes 2010-2017
Edition of 300. Heroin In Tahiti is a duo from Rome, Italy hailing from the Roma Est scene, a sort of local community based in the crumbling and deteriorated neighborhoods which were already eternalized by Pasolini and Neorealist Cinema (think of Pasolini, De Sica, Visconti, etc.) The duo plays a variety of cheap guitars, analog synths, drum machines, and pedals, achieving a dirtiness which is tragically lo-fi and out-of-time at the same time: a "Spaghetti Wasteland", as they call it. In 2012 th…
Standing Waters
CD edition. The Italian guitarist Maurizio Abate is a rare breed - an experimental musician from Europe working within, and expanding the American tradition of Guitar Soli, an idiom first pioneered by John Fahey. Abate initially emerged within a diverse series of collaborative released over a decade ago, but, as the years passed, a love for his instrument, with inspiration provided by Fahey’s indication of its potential for application as a one man orchestra, prompted to him to embark on…
Sottrazione
**Edition of 300** Luciano Lamanna 'Sottrazione' hems to the shadows with suggestive, half-heard mutters and the silhouettes of writhing, druggy rhythms illuminated by flashes of Carpenter-style synth and splashed with salty guitar distortion. A masterwork in fluid, groovewise techno reduction and atmospheric rendering
Symphony for an Intergalactic Brotherhood
**Edition of 300** The Star Pillow is the drone-ambient project of italian guitarist Paolo Monti. The project started in December 2007 with the aim of researching expressions and relations between sound, space and human emotions. The new album is composed of three improvisations, recorded and mixed at home by Paolo Monti himself. As the title suggests, the sound is an ever evolving series of guitar drones that seems to ascend above the terrestrial atmosphere, in search of other civilizatio…
Cnl
**Edition of 300** Only if you know symmetry you can break it. Only where the dark has reigned, you can escape. Places have sounds. CLN is the album by Jochen Arbeit and Paolo Spaccamonti. CLN place is the city of Turin exoteric center joint. With two fountains depicting Po and Dora Riparia rivers, in perspective symmetry, and two twin churches exactly behind them, in San Carlo place. Through the lines of the tracks, two guitars stare at each other, but instead of chasing each other, they …
The Uncanny Little Sparrows
Formed in November 2006, Dream Weapon Ritual is the duo of Simon Balestrazzi and Monica Serra. They play free-form music that draws equally from droning electronica soundscapes and imaginary folk visions. Simon Balestrazzi is an electronic/electroacoustic composer and sound artist active since the early 80's. He released many albums and performed live around Europe under various names. Monica Serra is a talented actress whose artistic research led to double as vocalist since 1999. Both ar…
Disappearing
After almost eight years of self imposed distance from music making, Adriano Zanni came back to recording his sounds with the 7 inch "Falling Apart" I released earlier this year. Before that, Adriano Zanni communicated with the external world through the photographic box "Red Desert Chronicles (Postcards From Ravenna)", also out on Boring Machines. Then a composition titled "Soundtrack for falling trees" appeared on a cassette published by Bronson Record…
