DARK MATER
Mo.N.D

In astrophysics and cosmology, dark matter is hypothetical matter of unknown composition that does not emit or reflect enough electromagnetic radiation to be observed directly, but whose presence can be inferred from gravitational effects on visible matter. According to present observations of structures larger than galaxy-sized as well as Big Bang cosmology, dark matter accounts for the vast majority of mass in the observable universe. The composition of dark matter is unknown, but may include ordinary and heavy neutrinos, recently postulated elementary particles such as WIMPs and axions, astronomical bodies such as dwarf stars and planets, and clouds of nonluminous gas. It has been noted that the name "dark matter" serves mainly as an expression of our ignorance, much as the marking of early maps with "terra incognita". Dark Matter are Kasper T. Toeplitz and Antoine Chessex They have realised a monolithic piece of cosmic dark energy, concentrating gravitational lensing phenomenas, in solid waves, through the multi-dimensional quantum-continuum. A must! The duo deals with dense and abstract structures where the hybridisation of the two performers´instruments collapse together resulting in monumental walls of sounds based on the architecture of ruins.

REPRINT WITH NEW E-XTRA!!!!

Complete original release, including flyers and photos of TRAXx era; a special text by Rod Summers and a new 25 minute's long piece, mixed and arranged by Gianluca Becuzzi with source materials from Nigel Ayers / Nocturnal Emissions, Simon Balestrazzi, Pietro Riparbelli / K11, Fabio Orsi, Rod Summers!!!

The international pioneeristic network sound art project of the arly '80 live AGAIN!!!!!

One year after the reprint as a free download and limited edition cd of the Trax 0983 Anthems project, Radical Matters reproposes with the same formula the first vinyl album produced by the atypical group/label TRAX in the distant year 1982. Following up a series of audiocassettes assembled with similar methodologies (Technodeath, Horrorbox, The Cop Killers, etc.), this pioneering album conceived and coordinated by Piermario Ciani synthesized brilliantly the idea of a “telematic” (and “modular”) music, composed and played through collaborations at distance, a concept explored before the age of Internet both by activists of the heterogeneous international “tape network” and by exponents of the “serious” electronic music scene, for example Pietro Grossi.

As usual in this series of reprints started in 2007 with the double cd Rednight, Gianluca Becuzzi took care of the remastering from the original vinyl and added a new experiment in composition at distance (NewXtra). Nigel Ayers is the only participant of Xtra that has been involved again, creating thirty years later an ideal bridge between the two projects. For the occasion, I immersed myself once again in the archive of memories, digging up some images and documents of the period (the Grand Trax 0184 box, in particular, contained some graphics originally created for a deluxe edition of the Xtra lp, never completed), added here as an extra bonus and testimony of the multimedial disposition of the whirl of products and events that TRAX got under way between 1981 and 1987.

Whatever happened to the original TRAX Units? Some friends (to whom this reprint is dedicated) have sadly come to an untimely end, others are still active in areas connected to the artistical and musical scene, even with high-profile results (like Massimo Giacon in the fields of design, comics and contemporary art, or Martin Hall, who has become in Denmark a cult writer and composer), yet others are today professors of high repute or hold public offices in the cultural sector (Martina, Ciullini). If you appreciated the unique mixture of bizarre new wave, darting elettropop, ferocious industrial-noise and minimalist ambient of Xtra, let us know, we will feel more motivated to retrieve a few other rare relics. Once more, my warmest thanks go to all the authors involved and to Gianluca Becuzzi and Sandro Gronchi, without whose genuine enthusiasm this work would have never seen the light of day. - Vittore Baroni, January 2011 -

ANTHEMS

After over a quarter of a century, some materials produced as part of the modular project TRAX, promoted from 1981 to 1987 by Piermario Ciani, Vittore Baroni and Massimo Giacon, are now made available as free downloads in RMEDL Web Editions. For each work a limited Collector’s Edition on cd, with more multimedial materials, will be also produced. The first release in this new series of reprints - following the double cd Notterossa / Rednight appeared in 2007 on Small Voices - is the concept album Anthems originally appeared in september 1983, with 21 new, ironical and provocative versions of national anthems from real and imaginary countries, created by musicians from various nations. The concept was issued in two different editions, as a vinyl LP (in 1000 copies) and as a cassette with booklet (500 copies). This reprint contains all the anthems included in the two TRAX products, plus a double unpublished anthem dedicated to All Frontiers, created for the occasion by Gianluca Becuzzi, who also skillfully remastered all the tracks from their original supports. I hope that these compositions so diverse in style and conception, a testimony of a particularly lively and creative period in the international underground scene, may still instruct and entertain: you have a chance here to listen to a young Masami Akita in one of the rare musical works in the huge Merzbow catalogue, as well as to discover gems from the fantastical nations of Naon and Akademgorod. For sure, Laibach enjoyed their participation in the project, since they appropriated the very same idea in 2006 for their Volk album.Heartfelt thanks to all the collaborators old and new: enjoy this planetary networking experience!
