Sparks
2007 release** "«Sparks», like the marconimen who occupied radio stations on ships at the beginning of the twentieth century. And this extraordinary album was essentially born on the radio, in the well-deserving Rai studios of Audiobox in 1995.

Sitting on Theories on the Frontier on Extension
2003 release ** Pplastic and paper slipcase, each copy with a unique hammer imprint.

This one hour process was his starting p…
