"Per me la morte è la base di tutto. [...] Anche il cimitero è un luogo molto importante per me; di esso ne ho sempre sfruttato tutto. [...] La gente ha un'opinione distorta del cimitero, crede che sia la porta dell'aldilà o chissà cosa; invece esso è solamente il posto dove vengono deposti i cadaveri, mentre l'energia si è già trasferita da un'altra parte. Quindi nel cimitero c'è questa assenza d'energia che col tempo sono riuscito a percepire e grazie alla quale ho capito molte cose". - Estratto da "Filosofia Viola", intervista a Paul Chain di Marco Cavallini, del 2 Aprile 1996, Sadsunmusic.com -

Paul Chain (1977-2003) dichiara la sua morte artistica il 05 Aprile 2003.
Lo scorso anno, per l’intero mese di Aprile, è stata presentata in anteprima, presso il Sound Corner dell’Auditorium - Parco della musica di Roma, la documentazione sonora del progressivo disfacimento fonografico dell’oggetto sonoro in ceramica contenuto in questa edizione “morente, concepita, assieme ad altri 4 multipli d’arte che seguiranno questa pubblicazione (il cui materiale originale, digitalizzato, si trova nel cd-archivio compreso nell’edizione), per rendere omaggio all'opera dell'artista Paul Chain, ed alla sua personale ricerca escatologica, l' “antica filosofia della morte o magia viola*”.
(*da "Detaching From Satan")
Ogni parte di questa edizione concettuale è stata progettata seguendo i suggerimenti lasciati dall'autore, il quale crede fermamente che il potere nascosto di queste registrazioni dovrebbe essere lasciato morire. Questa "edizione morente" rappresenta così l’inumazione concettuale di questo corpo artistico, la sua sepoltura finale.
Questa edizione d’arte, e gli elementi che la compongono, sono stati progettati per deperire nel tempo, fino al loro completo disfacimento, alla loro totale consunzione, fino a svelarne la forma "sublime", per diventare così oggetto di pura contemplazione.
La particolare terra che compone l'opera, ricca di materiale organico, è l'elemento chimico catalizzatore di tale processo. Allo stesso modo, l’oggetto sonoro in ceramica contenuto nell'edizione, consumerà via via le onde sonore incise attraverso il processo stesso di riproduzione, che avviene per frizione meccanica della puntina del giradischi sul disco stesso. Lentamente, scompariranno ad ogni ascolto, lasciando solo mute ceneri. Questo nuovo "corpo artistico" così sublimato, potrà essere conservato ed ammirato nella sua nuova natura di reliquia.

Presents the hermetic multidimensional concept album
"CHTHONIAN MUSIC" :
Music composed, played and directed by K11 Pietro Riparbelli
Concept, ideation, site specific project direction, screenplay, score, texts, lyrics, sigils and design of the editions: RM-ED/L | Sandro Gronchi. 2 channels and multi channel audio composition, performing, mixing, mastering and real-time spatialization processing by Pietro Riparbelli. Acoustic installation by Sandro Gronchi and Pietro Riparbelli. Recording sessions: Francisco López, Christina Kubisch, Massimo Bartolini, Seth Cluett, Y.E.R.M.O., Francesco Brasini / Seven Guitars, Luciano Maggiore, Gianluca Becuzzi, Andrea Marutti, Philippe Petit , Deadwood, Burial Hex, Aderlating, Utarm, Nordvargr, L'Acephale. This conceptual album is a 2 channel stereo hi-fi transposition of a related site specific multi-channel acoustic installation set, based on the sound spatialization system I.M.E.A.S.Y, both developped from the hermetic multidimensional sound art project Chthonian Music, conceived by RMEDL to be performed in an ancient Etruscan hypogeum sited in Cecina (Italy), during the spring solstice (Ante Diem Duodecimum Kalendas Apriles) within the programmatic-conceptual event "Metasound – Independent Curatorial Experiences in ntemporary Art: from the object up to the event: sound art, multimedia and practice of the art of listening",an hypermedial site-specific project, cured by SG as RMEDL, installed within the archaeological park of Cecina, in the core of the ancient Tuscia.
This conceptual album and the related audio installation are musically composed by Pietro Riparbelli / K11 who playing organ, voices, drum and directis the recording sessions of the acoustic sources produced by the previous mentioned artists, expecially conceived by the authors for this project. This multidimensional collaborative opera is a bridge between the conception of sound within the contemporary art scene, the postindustrial culture and the avantgarde black metal musical scene, focusing on creating a dialogic development between radical forms of concrete music, unorthodox sounds, conceptual arts and experimental recordings practices of the acoustic phenomenas.This project is based on the study of the territory where Cecina stands today, already known in Etruscan age with the name of Kaikne or Kaikna and was inhabited in Roman times, when an imperial personality, the consul Albino Cecina who was a descendant of an ancient Etruscan family that came from Volterra (Velathri), ordered the construction of a villa, the ruins of which are still visited in San Vincenzino.
The surrounding area of Cecina, knew a long period of decline, which began with the decline of the Etruscan civilization and marked during the Roman domination. However in medieval times the name of the Tuscan town was quoted by Dante Alighieri (Inf. XIII, 7). The peculiar state of re-veiling of the historical roots of Cecina town, began in the Roman construction plant of the Albini Villa by the department of archaeological sciences of the University of Pisa (in this contest stands the discovery of a headless statue in Egyptian alabaster that represents Isis). It becomes the right condition for the staging of meta-curator project Metasound through which a witness is shown, though as a part of a state of the art research on aesthetic trans-operative promoting by RM-ED/L. The choice of the roman cistern and its adjacent mysteric tunnels, as the core of the catabasis experience intrinsec in the concept of Chthonian Music. and as sound-chamber of the related acoustic installation, comes from the study on the symbolic meaning of places of worship, that was developed in Etruscan age - civilization that first settled in the adjacent grounds to the Cecina river. The re-veiling of the etruscan settlement, roman villa and medioeval cemetery, in the small park of San Vincenzino, opens to the possibility of considering the reading of the archaeological sites in their likely original function of sacred hypogeum. The cavity of the cistern, thus, becomes a possible reuse of an earlier site of Etruscan origine, with a more likely symbolic function of a place consecrated to the worship of Chthonic Deities. Demeter-Persephone (Phersipnai) was the goddess which was based the religion of the Mysteries, imported by the Etruscans in Italy.
Kidnapped by Hades and carried in the realm of the underworld, becaming the queen of the hell through his ritual death. Demeter, the goddess of the earth got that Persephone / Phersipnai reigned during the winter months and in the remaining months could return to earth, whose myth is the awakening of the soul and its cyclical path of death and transfiguration. Delving into the dark recesses of the earth, meant to open a gate to a supernatural dimension. Tunnels and mazes of paths represented the symbolic difficult journey of the soul towards a higher life. Exit from the bowels of the land, from the darkest recesses of the earth and the human soul, represents the rebirth of the soul to a higher level of living. The annual return of Phersipnai on earth among the living, coincided with the beginning of spring, and on this occasion were celebrated the Lesser Mysteries, or the second Birth. On this occasion, wizards with snakes twisted on the arms, moved at the flickering light of torches in long orgiastic processions (Nuktélia) that ended with a search of the queen Phersipnai.Hetrvria Hermetica.

Digital print - hand made. Second Book: 30 pages, colour and black and white photos on Fedrigoni’s tatami paper 150 gr. 30x29 digital print - hand made. Both of the books contain a rubberstamp each with all the informations of the book as you can see in the sample. “Utopia” is conceived, made and produced by Andrea Sozzi. All photos are taken and originally hand-printed by Andrea Sozzi
This sound object it's a phono-mediumistic set created with a shining circle of authors,
cathalized by the pioneer and master of the black industrial musical genre:
MZ.412 (and his mastermind HENRIK NORDVARGR BJORKK).
The content of this special concept album, conceived, designed and released by RM-ED/L, is a compendium in the form of Grimoire; a special magical device for metaphisical pratiques of ancient form of manteia (divination) based on the occult side of the risonance of the sound.
About the GRIMOIRE CD-R device: The audio content of the CD-R is developped by the original recordings made by all the authors involved in the CD format where they operas are explicitally composed as a demoniacal evocation "formed with sound".
This audio cd-r is initially manipulated in studio, only to excite the very low frequencies of the original recordings. The result was played with loud speakers and re-recorded live with special microphones, during a liminal cojuntion of events (date 08 November 2008), 13 meter under the ground, during the 16th event of the Etruscan magic astronomy, towards the north-west sol-stitium of Manvtha, for the Samonios of the Triplici Mundus Patet; into an ancient Rasnakh ritual underground place, sited in the core of Tuscia: the Munisvle of Fanum Voltumnae.
Exciting the very low frequencies of the XIII evocations composed by all the authors involved, have permit to manifest the essences of their ritual recordings, through the demoniacal acoustic manifestation of their psycho induction. The particular condition of this second recording session, made in the Rasnakh Munisvle, have permitted to charge the recordings in itselfs with the live presence of the dead energy of the ancient spirits of darkness, which in this deeper underground temples, near the center of the earth, have the door for their reign.
MYSTERIUM CONIUNCTIONIS - GOETIC SCRYING RITUALIS:
The box also include some basic instructions to use the phono medianic set, composed by:
a special packege contening the sacred Unicursal Hexagram stylization as pop-up,
an handmade trapezoid black mirror
a special cabled speaker-packaging able to be connected into your stereo hi-fi.

La sutura coronale del cranio presenta ( cosa che sarebbe anzitutto da verificare, ma accettiamola pure) una stretta somiglianza con la linea fitta e sinuosa che la punta di un fonografo inscrive nel cilindro ruotante della apparecchiatura. Che cosa accadrebbe se ingannassimo quella punta e, invece di ricondurla lungo la propria traccia, la portassimo su una via che non è la traduzione grafica di un suono, ma di una cosa che esiste di per se, in maniera naturale, e - bene, diciamolo pure, che fosse (per esempio) proprio la sutura coronale? - : dovrebbe nascere un suono, una sequenza di suoni, una musica...
The coronal suture of the skull bears a close resemblance (this should be verified but let's assume it's true) to the thick and sinuous line inscribed by the stylus of a phonograph on the rotating cylinder.

Cassette Tape description:
This recording is the documentation of the audio installation conceived for Sound Corner 21 / Auditorium Parco Della Musica, Roma, set from 01 to 30 April 2015. It's based on the ceramic sound object of "Satan's Future", contained in the conceptual edition called "dying edition", published by RMEDL in summer 2015, conceived to pay tribute to the opera of the artist Paul Chain and his personal eschatological research, to his philosophy of death or violet magic.
Paul Chain (1977 - 05 April 2003) declares his artistic death on April 05 2003. Following the suggestions left by the author, who strongly believes that the hidden power of these recordings should be left to die, until its consumption, everything involved in the related Dying Edition is designed to die. The "dying edition" represents the conceptual interment of this artistic body, its final grave.
The source of this limited edition ceramic record is designed to be consumed by its playing. The process of playing the ceramic record will consume the engraved sound waves, from time to time. Slowly the sound waves will disappear, untill only mute ash will remain. This audio recording is the direct documentation of various playing of the ceramic record on turntable, synthesized in three parts. "Satan's Future" was originally selected by Paul Chain for his "Relative Tapes" private archive, courtesy by Marco Melzi, Minotauro Records.

"Thierry Tillier is a Belgian artist living in Charleroi. His technique is mostly Collage but also photography, etc... His works are visual short-circuits with many meaning stratums ; aesthetic and poetical flashes torn, cut and layed out into brocken puzzles. The themes explored in his work are numerous and the understanding lies in-between the choice, placement of ripped images and nothingness. He answered a few questions on themes..."

SILENCE WITHOUT REVERBERATIONS:
30 MINUTES INSIDE AN ANECHOIC CHAMBER
An audio-documentary / essay, for uncompromised deep listening expereinces!!!!
ORIGINAL TEXTS:
Silencio sin reverberaciones: 30 minutos en una camara anecoica.
En 1951 el compositor y gran pensador norteamericano John Cage visitA la camara anecoica (una habitaciOn totalmente aislada, sin eco) de la universidad de Harvard para intentar confirmar la existencia del silencio. El resultado que obtuvo fue un tanto inesperado: Inmerso en aquel espacio no-resonante Cage escucho dos sonidos, uno grave, el de la circulacin sanguinea y otro agudo, el del sistema nervioso, deduciendo por tanto que el silencio no existe. Sin duda se trata de uno de los acontecimientos que ha marcado la historia, cuanto menos reciente, de la masica y las artes sonoras, primero por romper de alguna forma los historicos lmites entre musica, sonido y escucha y por otra parte porque fue el germen de una de las composiciones mas paradigmaticas de la historia de la musica: 4'33". Seguramente por estas mismas razones la experiencia anecoica (limitada principalmente al ambito cientofico) ha sido victima de un proceso de mitificacion, quizos excesivo, por parte de la comunidad de creadores sonoros.
Gracias a la empresa Labein-Tecnalia ubicada en Derio (Bizkaia) recientemente tuvimos la oportunidad de visitar dos camaras anecoicas, una dedicada a la medicien de campos electromagneticos (frecuencias altas) y otro a la de acusticos (frecuencias dentro de nuestro rango auditivo). Y de paso, tuvimos la oportunidad de comprobar los resultados obtenidos por Cage, asa como de desmitificar varias creencias relativas a estas camaras. Una interesante experiencia que hemos intentado resumir, mediante grabaciones sonoras en este programa. El significado esencial del silencio es la perdida de atencion.. el silencio no es acustico i es solamente el abandono de la intencion de oir. John Cage

This conceptual album is a 2 channel stereo hi-fi transposition of a related site specific multi-channel acoustic installation set, based on the sound spatialization system I.M.E.A.S.Y, both developped from the hermetic multidimensional sound art project Chthonian Music, conceived by RMEDL to be performed in an ancient Etruscan hypogeum sited in Cecina (Italy), during the spring solstice (Ante Diem Duodecimum Kalendas Apriles) within the programmatic-conceptual event "Metasound – Independent Curatorial Experiences in ntemporary Art: from the object up to the event: sound art, multimedia and practice of the art of listening",an hypermedial site-specific project, cured by SG as RMEDL, installed within the archaeological park of Cecina, in the core of the ancient Tuscia.
This conceptual album and the related audio installation are musically composed by Pietro Riparbelli / K11 who playing organ, voices, drum and directis the recording sessions of the acoustic sources produced by the previous mentioned artists, expecially conceived by the authors for this project. This multidimensional collaborative opera is a bridge between the conception of sound within the contemporary art scene, the postindustrial culture and the avantgarde black metal musical scene, focusing on creating a dialogic development between radical forms of concrete music, unorthodox sounds, conceptual arts and experimental recordings practices of the acoustic phenomenas.This project is based on the study of the territory where Cecina stands today, already known in Etruscan age with the name of Kaikne or Kaikna and was inhabited in Roman times, when an imperial personality, the consul Albino Cecina who was a descendant of an ancient Etruscan family that came from Volterra (Velathri), ordered the construction of a villa, the ruins of which are still visited in San Vincenzino.
The surrounding area of Cecina, knew a long period of decline, which began with the decline of the Etruscan civilization and marked during the Roman domination. However in medieval times the name of the Tuscan town was quoted by Dante Alighieri (Inf. XIII, 7). The peculiar state of re-veiling of the historical roots of Cecina town, began in the Roman construction plant of the Albini Villa by the department of archaeological sciences of the University of Pisa (in this contest stands the discovery of a headless statue in Egyptian alabaster that represents Isis). It becomes the right condition for the staging of meta-curator project Metasound through which a witness is shown, though as a part of a state of the art research on aesthetic trans-operative promoting by RM-ED/L. The choice of the roman cistern and its adjacent mysteric tunnels, as the core of the catabasis experience intrinsec in the concept of Chthonian Music. and as sound-chamber of the related acoustic installation, comes from the study on the symbolic meaning of places of worship, that was developed in Etruscan age - civilization that first settled in the adjacent grounds to the Cecina river. The re-veiling of the etruscan settlement, roman villa and medioeval cemetery, in the small park of San Vincenzino, opens to the possibility of considering the reading of the archaeological sites in their likely original function of sacred hypogeum. The cavity of the cistern, thus, becomes a possible reuse of an earlier site of Etruscan origine, with a more likely symbolic function of a place consecrated to the worship of Chthonic Deities. Demeter-Persephone (Phersipnai) was the goddess which was based the religion of the Mysteries, imported by the Etruscans in Italy.
Kidnapped by Hades and carried in the realm of the underworld, becaming the queen of the hell through his ritual death. Demeter, the goddess of the earth got that Persephone / Phersipnai reigned during the winter months and in the remaining months could return to earth, whose myth is the awakening of the soul and its cyclical path of death and transfiguration. Delving into the dark recesses of the earth, meant to open a gate to a supernatural dimension. Tunnels and mazes of paths represented the symbolic difficult journey of the soul towards a higher life. Exit from the bowels of the land, from the darkest recesses of the earth and the human soul, represents the rebirth of the soul to a higher level of living. The annual return of Phersipnai on earth among the living, coincided with the beginning of spring, and on this occasion were celebrated the Lesser Mysteries, or the second Birth. On this occasion, wizards with snakes twisted on the arms, moved at the flickering light of torches in long orgiastic processions (Nuktélia) that ended with a search of the queen Phersipnai.Hetrvria Hermetica.

La sutura coronale del cranio presenta ( cosa che sarebbe anzitutto da verificare, ma accettiamola pure) una stretta somiglianza con la linea fitta e sinuosa che la punta di un fonografo inscrive nel cilindro ruotante della apparecchiatura. Che cosa accadrebbe se ingannassimo quella punta e, invece di ricondurla lungo la propria traccia, la portassimo su una via che non è la traduzione grafica di un suono, ma di una cosa che esiste di per se, in maniera naturale, e – bene, diciamolo pure, che fosse (per esempio) proprio la sutura coronale? - : dovrebbe nascere un suono, una sequenza di suoni, una musica…
The coronal suture of the skull bears a close resemblance (this should be verified but let's assume it's true) to the thick and sinuous line inscribed by the stylus of a phonograph on the rotating cylinder. What would happen if we were to cheat that stylus into moving along a different and unusual path, one that is not the graphical translation of a sound but rather something that exists in its own right, naturally, and - well, let's go ahead and say it, something like the coronal suture itself (for example)?-: The result should be a sound, a sequence of sounds, a certain music...
