Massimo Toniutti

Stratégies Obliques I
From the venerable imprint, Ferns Recordings, comes a truly striking split LP by the brothers Massimo and Giancarlo Toniutti. Both legendary figures in Italian experimental music who first emerged within the '80s cassette underground, "Stratégies Obliques I" encounters them constructing immersive works of musique concrète, deploying Brian Eno and Peter Schmidt's "Oblique Strategies" deck as inspiration. Radical and visionary, sculpting the mystical from the sound of everyday, once heard there's …
Variation Séculaire Géomagnétique
"Massimo Toniutti is an Italian sound designer and experimental musician. He is the brother of Giancarlo Toniutti who is best known for his dark ambient masterpiece La Mutazione which was originally released on the Broken Flag label in the UK and later reissued by Klanggalerie.

Initially orbiting around Ambarchi’s own output, and that of the community which immediately surrounds him, the imprint has increasingly endeavoured to establish cross-generational links, issuing and reissuing stunnin…
Antidocument/groundwork
A pebble codex. Vitrine is honored to present antidocument/groundwork, the first album of new work by Massimo Toniutti since 1991’s Il Museo Selvatico. Toniutti has been crafting a theatre of geometry and meiosis since the early ’80s with his self-released cassettes bridging concrete sound, Industrial shadow play and stately dispersal. A rustle, something falls. Out of bounds electronics complicate sound cabinets of ringing bells and creaking joints. The furniture is cleared from the room. Echo …
