ZEKKINI
in
COMIZIO DANZANTE (POST - CONTEMPORANEO)
Scritto, diretto e interpretato da Zekkini
con l'ausilio delle "Casalinghe lesbiche di Teramo"
(Produzione: the post-contemporary corporation)

I Post-Contemporanei, si sa, detestano la società dello spettacolo; e dunque non mettono in scena degli spettacoli, bensì realizzano delle ambientazioni. Di conseguenza, in questa speciale occasione Zekkini non recita un monologo, ma si esibisce in un comizio a pagamento - la sua è però anche una sfida alla consolidata tradizione della stand-up comedy. Chi si aspetta una sequela di caustiche invettive contro la decadenza della società occidentale rimarrà deluso: Zekkini infatti sa benissimo che tali invettive sono destinate a rimanere lettera morta, mentre il processo di putrefazione continua a seguire il suo corso. L'autore piuttosto fornirà alcuni astuti accorgimenti per godere al meglio della perfetta bellezza della vita e del mondo malgrado l'umanità che tutt'intorno a voi marcisce. Inoltre Zekkini, superbo alfiere dell'oscurantismo glam e fetish, svelerà le vere cause della caduta del desiderio e della fine del vero erotismo in una società ormai satura di tutto. Il comizio, ovviamente danzato e a tratti accompagnato dal gruppo musicale "Le casalinghe lesbiche di Teramo", conterrà diversi haiku dalla nota serie "Haiku scaturiti dall'orchidea nello stagno", nonche alcuni elementi - base di teoria e pratica del "culto della (propria) personalità" e della "glorificazione a oltranza di se (stessi)".

Ain Soph - Aurora

Contributed by: Malahki Thorn

Ain Soph would be the perfect music to play amidst friends in a smoky bar as you chug down micro brewed ales and argue about politics, culture and history. Playing Ain Soph on the stereo invokes close quartered Italian bars filled with disenchanted young men gathered together and seeking change through revolution. Italian Neofolk Artist: Ain Soph Title: Aurora Label: Old Europa Café Genre: Italian Neofolk Resource Links: Old Europa Café   Italian industrial musicians Ain Soph began their carrier over twenty years ago in 1984 with their debut release Ain Soph I, released on cassette. Since 1984 Ain Soph has released seven Lp’s and cassettes, two 7” vinyl records and eleven CD’s. The only aspect of their career that is more impressive than their sheer volume of music is the variety of styles and sound they have explored in the last twenty years. Beginning their career with early noise and sound experiments Ain Soph has progressed through noise, industrial, ritual ambient, neoclassical, medieval, and neofolk music over the their twenty year career. Defining the music of Ain Soph varies greatly depending on what point in the bands discography you are discussing. Aurora was originally published by Cthulhu Records in 1992. Now more than a decade later the Italian industrial music label Old Europa Café has graciously made this long deleted album available once more. Aurora was shortly forgotten after its initial publication, which garnished a rash of criticism from persons who found the overt political commentary contAined in the album to be offensive. Ain Soph’s revolutionary ideology combined with sampled speeches from socialists and totalitarian dictators along with the portrait of Joseph Evola that appears on the CD’s cover was enough to bring out fascist leftists in full force. Like other controversial industrial musicians, Ain Soph made no apologies for their art but rather exercised creative freedom in the face of rabid criticism. This stalwart approach to the creative process would later pave the way for many industrial acts to follow. Ain Soph’s innovative music was not restricted to politically charged expression. The music of Ain Soph also embraced spirituality and mysticism, which manifested in a very personalized way through the bands music. Much like the eclectic mixture found in the music of Death In June, Ain Soph was able to combine politics, culture, ethnicity, and spirituality into a combined statement that was charged with vitality and life. When looking back into the history of industrial music Ain Soph stands out as one of the founding and defining members of the genre. Many neofolk music musicians creating music today have been influenced by the aesthetics of Ain Soph as well as their uncompromising creative freedom. Numerous other genres also owe a debt of gratitude to the pioneering work of Ain Soph including the noise, experimental, dark ambient, and ritual ambient genres. Growing up in the United States and relying heavily upon U.S. based import mail-order companies, I did not have the opportunity to discover the music of Ain Soph until recently. With the help of Old Europa Café a new wave of listeners is now being benefited with the opportunity of discovery these amazing Italian musicians for the first time. The music on Aurora is a wonderful blend of acoustic folk with strong European ethnic undercurrents. Ain Soph draw upon their Italian ethnicity to create neofolk compositions accented with old world melodies and sensibilities. The instrumentation is a range of predominately-acoustic instruments that includes piano, acoustic guitar, tambourine, organ, and bass guitar. Though the instrumentation remAins rather basic throughout the album Ain Soph is able to milk a very unique and individual sound from this instrumental lineup. Consider the possibility of merging café house music with traditional folk and punk rock and you come close to the experience of Ain Soph’s unique neofolk compositions. Leading each song are strong male vocals that are reminiscent of an Italian Jim Morrison. Ain Soph conjures vocals capable of swallowing the listener in the depths of the bands personal soul searching despair. Leading with dark and sexy vocals the male vocalist sings with husky strAined vocals that communicate depths of nihilistic torment, agonized romanticism, and political unrest. Ain Soph would be the perfect music to play amidst friends in a smoky bar as you chug down micro brewed ales and argue about politics, culture and history. Playing Ain Soph on the stereo invokes close quartered Italian bars filled with disenchanted young men gathered together and seeking change through revolution. Aurora could easily be the soundtrack for a disillusioned generation seeking spiritual and political renewal in an age of stagnation and hypocrisy. If you are not acquAinted with the music of Ain Soph, seize this opportunity to discover one of the defining forces of today’s industrial music arena. If you are acquAinted already with Ain Soph, take this opportunity to collect this previously deleted title and revel in the Italian basted folk music. Old Europa Café also offers a number of other Ain Soph reprinted albums that feature a glimpse into the bands era of ritual ambient music as well.

D.B.P.I.T. - s.u.t.u.b

Contributed by: Malahki Thorn

"s.u.t.u.b” is by all means the strongest album I have experienced so far from the inter dimensional head quarters of D.B.P.T. With so many entrenched genres within the post industrial music genre it is extremely affirming to see musicians such as D.P.B.T. pushing the post industrial music scene into ever progressive and new music domains. Experimental Industrial Artist: D.B.P.I.T. Title: s.u.t.u.b Label: Misty Circles / Dischi Gatto Alieno Genre: Experimental Industrial Resource Links: D.B.P.I.T Misty Circles   D.B.P.T. has returned to the industrial arena with another challenging release of subversive music. “s.u.t.u.b” sees post industrial trumpeter Flavio Rivabella return from the outer dimensions of industrial music with a new conceptual album that seeks to redefine many listeners concept of industrial music itself. Flavio and friends came together under the suggestion of creating modern post industrial music with all acoustic instrumentation while refraining from using any electronics or studio effects. All the sounds on the album are literally “unplugged.” During the recording and editing process the original acoustic recordings were edited and track over laying was also utilized but other than these essential recording techniques that were essential to the process. The participating musicians are able to claim full responsibility for all the experimentalism present on “s.u.t.u.b” and for having realized a truly acoustic industrial album. “s.u.t.u.b” begins with the opening track titled “Stinking Butterfly.” “Stinking Butterfly” introduces “s.u.t.u.b” with a beautiful song that combines primitive experimental percussion, harp, and classical female vocals. The song begins with a layered track of sad trumpet music. The trumpets play together like anonymous mourners roaming the same small cemetery; they seem disconnected though their emotional tones blend in dark murky notes. The trumpeting is joined by angelic classical vocals supplied by Anna Consuelo. Anna’s vocal entry is followed by a squeaky metallic sound and a noticeable static buzz that adds yet another disconnected dimension to the music. Anna’s vocals seem oddly alive against the mechanical elements of the music. Shakers and brief eruptions of unidentifiable percussion grace the composition while Anna bears the duty of leading the song forward with her vocals. The music is primitive in a reassuring manner that is hard to pair with description. “Stinking Butterfly” inspires the improvisational nature of a live performance while returning to the core principles of creativity that so often disappear in endless hours of studio editing. Track 4 titled “Contacto Total” sees D.B.P.I.T embark into unsettling and unknown territory during an improvisational recorded performance. Recorded inside the home studio of Novy Svet in Spain “Contacto Total” brings together the musical talent of D.B.P.I.T, Novy Svet, and O Paradis. Fans of Novy Svet and O Paradis may be familiar with these two Italian artists own recent excursions into experimental post industrial music. Getting to hear D.B.P.I.T, Novy Svet and O Paradis all together for an unplugged jam session is quite the treat. The song begins with a round of vocal chants and an aggressive industrial rhythmic sound that ricochets through the music. Flavio joins the crew with lonely meandering trumpet notes. Acoustic drums and ritualistic percussion joins the jam adding primitive warmth to the music. The diverse instrumentation manages to come together quite impressively as it invokes strange images of post industrial primitives returning to their musical roots. “Contacto Total” slowly dismantles at the end with a few lonely blasts of the trumpet. The apparent creativity and confidence exhibited by each musician combined with their synergy makes me yearn to hear more music from this eclectic group of post industrial pioneers. “Time To Be Gone” is the seventh track on “s.u.t.u.b” and it is illustrative of some of the more extreme experimentalism presented on the album. “Time To Be Gone” begins with tinkling glass like sounds and the familiar resigned trumpeting. Distressed wood winds join the music adding a flurry of shrill notes that sound akin to listening to a five year old practice the flute. A mouth organ joins the song helping to anchor the trumpet amidst a growing assault of differing dissonant sounds. Agonized male vocals break upon the song as the rest of the music deconstructs towards a see sawing grind of sounds accented by shrieking flutes. The vocals are cut and pasted like a William Burroughs word collage creating their own strange presence amidst the mind bending hallucinatory music. “Time To Be Gone” crawls and occasionally lurches through more than five minutes of truly bizarre music before wheezing out of existence. “Time To Be Gone” recalled for me the recent collaboration between Novy Svet and O Paradis. Like O Paradis and Novy Svet D.B.P.I.T has truly begun to penetrate new invigorating dimensions of uncharted sound. “Time To Be Gone” embodies a uiuqe and new organic, acoustic, industrial expressionism that hopefully is a precursor of things to come by D.B.P.I.T. “s.u.t.u.b” is by all means the strongest album I have experienced so far from the inter dimensional head quarters of D.B.P.T. With so many entrenched genres within the post industrial music genre it is extremely affirming to see musicians such as D.P.B.T. pushing the post industrial music scene into ever progressive and new music domains. “s.u.t.u.b” is highly recommended to fans of Novy Svet and O Paradis and others that have interest in the hybridization of acoustic and industrial music. Also people who like to see music escape the boundaries of definition and classification will find the freedom and range of expression captured on “s.u.t.u.b” to be illuminating. D.B.P.T. operates with a pioneering spirit and those looking to explore the horizon of industrial music are encouraged to get a copy! s.u.t.u.b. is a sound; a primordial, guttural sound that originates from within the depths of humankind and reaches far into outer space, unchanged by time or distance… s.u.t.u.b. is a defiant, natural presence that travels beyond the borders of the conscious, and lets the monsters of the "Id" loose… s.u.t.u.b. is the background noise of our aimlessly, constantly functioning brains … s.u.t.u.b. is a modern quest for a lost paradise, distress turned into music … Words By (D.B.P.I.T)

Circus Joy

Le Ore più Belle

Misty Circles / Nausea Recordings

 

Primo CD per la band romana


Dopo alcune releases in vinile (si contano persino splits con Novy Svet ed Ain Soph) anche per i romani Circus Joy è giunta l’ora di un album completo su supporto digitale. “Le ore più belle” è marchiato da Nausea recordings/Misty Circles ed è racchiuso in una spartana confezione dal forte sapore DIY.

Le radici del gruppo romano sono ben sotterrate nel punk ’77 ma è una forte componente noise e free jazz a renderli assurdi, iconoclasti ed imprendibili. L’esecuzione live di “Chiuso Schiacciato Scatola” denota una perfomance virulenta, selvaggia con una dose esasperante di sperimentalismo sonoro e liriche urlate a squarciagola. Anche in “Dentro di te” sono le voci a fare la parte da leone, sgolate e con riverberi su una base sonora minimale e disturbata, “Morire per il gusto di morire” salta nervosamente su un basso distorto e lo-fi e “Letti Colmi” è una sporca song punk jazz con Mancini nel suo solito stile nichilista. “Jazzzzz?” è uno degli episodi migliori del disco, frenetico, denso di energia sia strumentale che vocale.

Disco che sfugge a molte definizioni, ha chiare radici punk, spruzzate alcoliche di jazz, una punta impazzita di improvvisazione musicale, il tutto miscelato con una dose eccessiva di anarchia lo-fi.

FOB
Tetra Summer
Misty Circles/Nausea Recordings

Il progetto del chitarrista dei Circus Joy

Nato da una costola dei Circus Joy, come per i suddetti rivede in scena la coppia Nausea/MCR. Un CDr che mostra il lato sperimentale di una parte del progetto romano, stilisticamente molto vicino al progetto materno per attitudine sperimentale, ma con evidenti differenze sul lato strumentale e melodico.

La parte iniziale non regala momenti di coinvolgimento sonoro, il livello di attenzione è smorzato da songs che rimangono fisse nel loro immobilismo sperimentale senza che riescano a dare stimoli di significativo interesse. Va meglio con la parte finale contraddistinta da “Estate Tetra”, una lunga ballata elettrica con una linea melodica delicata e sognante e da “Anti Fit” una traccia electro con parti vocali disturbate ed effettate ma che non mancano di mostrare un’accattivante linea melodica.
