Anxiety Sucks, the new project by Hiseka, is a collective work that takes shape through music, photography, writing and a printed edition conceived as an integral part of the experience. The project unfolds across three different sections, corresponding to three states and three different perceptual dimensions: Asphyxia - Black, Interruption - Grey, Tomorrow - White.

The musical sequence also follows the same path, moving from the darkest, most oppressive atmospheres of the Black section, through the suspension and the interruption represented by Grey, to White, where the sound opens out towards a lighter register. The beginning and the end of the whole work are given sonic shape by two new compositions by Hiseka, conceived as the opening and the closing of the sequence.

The participating sound artists, in order of appearance, are Andrea Bellucci, Matteo Uggeri, Deison, Gianluca Favaron, Lucio Bonaldo, Testing Vault, Richard B. Lewis, Gianluca Becuzzi, Andrea Marutti, Laura Lupa Bisceglia, Giovanni Lami, Julinko, Upto23, FM, TeZ, Splendore, Francesco Lurgo, Nimh, Michele Borsoi, Sigillum S, DJ Balli, Heli Nemesis, Spheric, Francesco Giannico, Marco Bertoni, Simon Balestrazzi, Francesco Paladino, Ramona Ponzini, Le Forbici di Manitù, Anacleto Vitolo, Fabio Orsi.

Anxiety Sucks is published in an A5 fold-out box, designed to gather the different components of the project and set them in relation to one another. The box holds 3 CDs, a 20-page large booklet, 33 photographic cards, 3 cards for the tracklists and 3 different bookmarks. The front of the 33 cards carries a selection of images from the photographic work made by Hiseka, while the back gathers the credits and the texts by the participating artists. The booklet also documents the journey of a sad song for A. through photographs of the slips collected at its presentations, keeping a tangible trace of the encounter with the people and the artists who helped bring it into being.

The result is an object that does not simply hold the music but extends it, through the images, words and materials gathered along the way.
