Roma
**Edition of 200, sold out at source** For Romani musicians, music and life are often opposite sides of the same coin; much like a bridge, with its above, where people walk, and its below, which is mostly hidden to the view. Roma is an imaginary line, made of sound, that runs perpendicular to the horizontal, physical axis of a bridge, subtly trying to oppose, deny, and overturn this flat polarity.Roma is a limited edition of 200 signed and numbered vinyl records by the artist Giorgio Andreotta C…

Giving Water To The Dead
*In process of stocking.* The four tracks that comprise "Giving Water to the Dead" were composed using sound materials originally recorded for the sound installation Histories of the Present, a public artwork commissioned by the City of Berkeley in 2019.

For "Giving Water to the D…
