** Limited to 200 copies worldwide: 100 exist as physical components of the exhibition, 100 are available to own. ** Deeply engaging on numerous planes - as work of process oriented conceptualism, sound art, or simply as a blistering gesture of Noise - Marco Fusinato returns with The Horizon is a Razor, an astounding limited edition LP issued by Padiglione d'Arte Contemporanea (PAC) Milan, in connection with his upcoming exhibition The Only True Anarchy is That of Power.

Recorded in two separate studio sessions with an all-aluminum guitar - fed through an overload of distortion and 100-watt amplifiers at decibels that cause speaker blowout - both sides begin with the same down-tuned chord before charting alternate trajectories through improvisation, feedback, and immersive sheets of noise. The first side pushes the slowly unfolding tonal progressions of sludge and doom metal toward an almost minimalist sensibility; the second lets loose ferocity free improvisation, within structures that sometimes border on the cohesion of drone. Reference points include the "down-tuned saturation" of Corrupted, "the free aspects of Masayuki Takayanagi, the crushing fingers of Cecil Taylor and the howl of Albert Ayler." Housed in a sleeve featuring a 1798 painting by Francesco Fidanza entitled "Incendio di un porto di mare" on the front and an archival newspaper image depicting "scavengers scrounging for food" on the back.

 Wherever it fits in your collection, alongside seminal gestures of noise, sound art, or artist records, this one is essential and high among the most engaging records of the year so far.
