Track 08

K11 & Philippe Petit “A-ghast”

Previously unreleased (Boring Machines)

Pietro Riparbelli (aka K11) and Philippe Petit are interested in creating ‘haunting’ soundtracks, giving the feeling that some ghosts are lurking around. Their sound is heavy and claustrophobic, and “A-ghast” should serve as an appetiser for The Haunting Triptych, their new album released on Boring Machines... Residual spookiness...

Philippe Petit: piano, processed acoustics/field recordings, electronics, turntables, glass manipulations

Pietro Riparbelli: radio signals, voice, field recordings

K11 new release on Afe Records - 30/04/2010 -

"Waiting For the Darkness" is the documentation of an action of instrumental transcommunication performed in a forest in 2007. It consists of a video, recorded during the last hours of the day and of five audio tracks composed with short wave radio signals recorded during the action itself.

This work wishes to investigate the dimension of fear and continues the research of Pietro Riparbelli about Instrumental Transcommunication started off with the first action performed within the Abbey of Thelema and documented on the "Voices From Thelema" CD.

"Waiting For the Darkness" was born as an audio-video installation which has been hosted by "PX Piombino Experimenta 04" international sound art festival in collaboration with Influx. This installation consisted of a video screening happening in a dark room where sixty short wave radio receivers were installed. Each receiver was tuned on a different frequency creating a constantly shifting and chaotic dimension leading to the pure perception of the audio/video representing the instrumental transcommunication action."

ART IN AMERICA – international review

MASSIMO BARTOLINI

Magazzino d’arte moderna ROME

This show by the 48-year-old Massimo Bartolini featured two sound installations—each containing a movement-sensitive photocell that activated a sound emission—and a series of three paintings. Two musical performances were staged on the opening night, one of which generated a new version of the 2006 installation Ouverture per Pietro. Starting with the explosion of a lightbulb, the experimental musician PIETRO RIPARBELLI improvised for 20 minutes using a sampler, a computer and short-wave radio receivers as the death-metal singer Rosy Ninivaggi read verses from the sacred Hindu Avadhuta Gita. The result sounded like a mix of La Monte Young, Steve Reich and other American minimalist music. Remaining in the gallery afterward were the empty electrical socket in a transparent wall-mounted box littered with fragments of the shattered lightbulb, the closely facing microphone (now unplugged) that had recorded the explosion, and a constantly reiterated soundtrack of the first 2 minutes and 38 seconds of the performance.

VRANGSINN DEBUTS NEW PROJECT AT ART GALLERY EXHIBITION

DANIEL VRANGSINN, bass player with Norwegian Black Metal legends CARPATHIAN FOREST, producer, and founder of the Misantrof AntiLabel, will debut his new album “Phobia” at the "Do What Thou Wilt Shall Be The Key To The World", art exhibition that will open at the Kurant Art Gallery, in Tromsø, Norway, on Friday 13 November. The exhibition features eight national and international artists from satanic/occult/black metal backgrounds, whose art deals with the darker aspects of life, and who are consequently often perceived as “extreme”. The exhibition will comprise traditional mediums such as paintings and sculptures, alongside pieces of video art, into which category VRANGSINN’S “Phobia” fits, as each song on the album can either be listened to as a straightforward music track, or watched as a video.
