Kites Of Nephthys
Years in the making, the first full length album by Piercing follows releases on notable labels such as No Rent and Detachment Programs.
Output by this project has been somewhat limited and selective due to it's time consuming nature and nitpicky process of preparing loops derived from specific source sounds, which are then painstakingly shaped into melancholy and melodic tape degraded noise compositions that strive to put the listener in a palpably surreal or transcendent atmosphere. All of the…

Led by saxophonist Hideyasu Terakawa alongside bassist Tetsuo Miura and drummer Aki- hiro "Thunder" Na…

Duma
*44 copies limited edition* "We met R Moro for the first time in December 2022, when we had the chance to share the Spettro stage in Brescia. We didn't know each other before and he totally grabbed us with his concert, a dreamy long suite that kept him busy shifting between keyboards, electric guitar, and electronic rythms. After another killer show at Troglobatem Festival 2023 we asked him some material for a release, and about an year later the music reached us.
This tape is R Moro's first r…

Patterns and Mechanisms
** Edition of 300 ** "Patterns and Mechanisms", Eraldo Bernocchi and Merzbow's first album together, was written and recorded during the lockdown. Both artists exchanged audio files and ideas fascinated by the phenomenon of urban wildlife where wild animals decide to relocate, or establish home in our cities, the album is just two long pieces. Despite being dense and noisy, "Patterns and Mechanisms" has a 'melodic' approach to composition, with Merzbow's noise assault conjugating with Bernocchi'…
Tertium Quid
*200 copies limited edition* Exactly two years after “They Cast No Shadows” comes “Tertium Quid”, third CD from the LHAM project headed by Bruno De Angelis (Mana ERG) and Giuseppe Verticchio (Nimh) which once again leads the listener through complex and enthralling instrumental sound textures. The richness of the album’s arrangements and the sophistication of its harmonies are striking, alternating between calm stillness, quasi orchestral crescendos, fragments of darkness and restlessness follow…
Atti Innaturali
* Limited edition of 200 copies.* Simon Balestrazzi’s new effort make use of a rather sparse instrumentation. The prepared strings of a battered Ukrainian tsymbaly (a percussion-stringed instrument similar to the hammered dulcimer) are excited with an eBow and only occasionally struck. Also they are processed in real time through a ring modulator, a digital spectral delay and a looper, stretching the sonic possibilities in an unnatural way. This iridescent mass, sometimes rich in abrasive clatte…
The Dead End Road
*200 copies limited edition* The road does not end: it abandons us, and in its abandonment it invites us to pause, listen, and wander within what cannot be possessed, only perceived. "The Dead End Road" is a journey along a road that leads nowhere, immersed in dark and suspended atmospheres - a path that leaves us alone with our listening. Through field recordings and electroacoustic textures, sounds emerge, dissolve, and recombine in restless spaces, between memory and presence. Each track is a…
American Requiem
*200 copies limited edition* The series of double albums by Gianluca Becuzzi for St.An.Da/Silentes, which began in 2020 with "In Between", continues. Like its predecessors, "American Requiem" combines drone guitar with sacred themes, creating compositions with a dark and captivating mood. This time, the theme of faith and death in the land of capitalist materialism par excellence, the United States, is placed at the centre of the work, with the use of a mix of traditional country-blues and avant…

Una Notte Che Non Finisce Mai
** CD + 21x21cm 48-page booklet in Italian, ltd. 200 copies ** "It often happens that crime stories are able to influence the larger history that surrounds them, but very few are those that managed to change aspects of society and pass through more than five decades unharmed, at least in terms of fascination. The whole story of the Monster of Florence is one of them. It is impossible not to get entangled or at least to be captured by it, if one delves into its pages of far-fetched features and t…

Le tre opere (Book)
*Bilingual English-Italian* "Put your music group together. Paint your own picture. Write your own book, your own poem."
These are original English texts and Italian translations by American Mike Watt, born in 1957. You should already know the author, or at least I hope you do: he is one of those who were there in California to light the fuse under the ass of rock in the late 1970s and the early 1980s. He played bass with the Minutemen, and it was partly because of him and his band that the punk…
