The other side: Recorded in the same pit one week later without audience. Alarmed by the voice, the neighborhood called the police.
Walkman Jazz
Edition of 50. Each cassette is an unique piece housed in a black box. No name, no titles, no label. Only shit plastic and sound. Sammartano strikes again! Broken the ice on his last trip “Rompighiaccio Destiny”, the man returns as the only director of a doped Banda of new mutants, freaks and borderline cases that plays at its own funeral party on a ship that sails a radioactive sea towards a new promised land (that obviously doesn't exist). Non music for no future. Recorded at Gallleriapiù (B…

Both
Second Editions presents Both by claire rousay. Claire Rousay has been exploring the sensitivities of sound always in relation to "the self" and "the other", equally. Her work is always seen as a contribution, as engagement. Recording, collaging and composing become acts of considering, remembering, giving. Therefore music becomes a context, or more precisely, a habitat. But what does it say about this music when the artistic choice goes deeper, when it is not only an urge to express but to find…

Ring Road Ring
**in process of stocking** "This album features sound recordings of the low-level vibrations pulsing through the megastructure that is the Coventry Ring Road.

The Ring Road was intended to keep traffic out of the city centre and form the basis for a radical vision of a modern pedestrian-focussed city. However, politics, economics and the contingencies of history combined to p…

B…
