about

Composed by Alessandro Pizzin & Alessandro Monti

"The weirdest idea was to make a sort of post-prog suite including all the remaining tracks (A New Direction, Sound Atlas, An Escape Route, Mediums & Messages, Fragment 34): The Artificial Life (parts 1 & 2) was born. It was inspired by my recent medical experience with a Robot; looking back at those strange days it was like living inside an Asimov's novel but happening in real life! So I selected random quotes from books and lectures and gave them to another Robot to read: I think she did a pretty good job! In our view micro culture means the opposite of mainstream, a genuine alternative way. "
-- AM

"Alessandro Monti chose to mix, edit and re-shu ffle some of the longtime efforts recorded by the duo between 2015 and 2020. It seemed a good idea to actually summarize the work already done giving it a brand new contextualisation with a full flowing fluxus ... maybe because that’s exactly how their whole collaboration should have been intended since 1975."
-- AdB

00:00 - 02:40 -- Intro/New Directions #1
"a brand new Monti's tape-concrete-musique fragment and just an excerpt from a longer 2015 composition originally intended for the Wind Collectors trio but actually never completed at the times"
-- AdB

"A New Direction belongs to the rhythm side of our work; we tried many different arrangements but it seemed that the original version was still the best. It appears in 2 different edits from the same longer take where most parts were played live from beginning to end."
-- AM


02:41 - 11:57 -- Sound Atlas
"also known with its working title "Listen", this recording is a duo effort from the 2015 ill-fated Wind Collectors aborted sessions".
-- AdB

"Sound Atlas has a written structure in harmony, notes and time. The bass riff was originally conceived as a cello part and it was doubled by keyboards. The original real time sequence of notes was slowly distanced to give the effect of something gradually dissolving, losing its squared shape."
-- AM

11:58 - 22:10 -- An Escape Route
"composed in 2016 for another ill-fated common project named HAKKAH 2.0 (also (un)known as Grampus) hence its more noisy and unrepentant musical nature. Otherwise known as "Mark My Words" and featured (in different form) in the 2018 Alieno De Bootes album "Giorni di vento".
-- AdB

"An Escape Route is a downtempo excursion; it has a slow fascinating rhythm with an A-B bass riff leaving plenty of space to Alieno's synthesizer lines.
Post-production by Alieno. "
-- AM
