"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 -

Audio-catalogue. Sound Corner 21 / Auditorium Parco Della Musica, Roma.
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.

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. 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...

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 -

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! Vittore Baroni, February 2010. The Winzip file include a Radical Matters package, ready to be print, cut and assemblated. Burn a cd-r with this tracks and make yourself the package.

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...

TOY is the project of Sandro Gronchi, an Italian multimedia sound & visual researcher! With his debut album Sandro is presenting us an hybrid work containing 1 audio track and 1 visual track constructed with Flash program for PC where 44 paper art-works in white & grey scale digitally reworked appear on the screen through a cross fade without any soundtrack so you can feed inside the images in perfect silence. A great concept work regarding the world connected to : PAPER! Paper can be manipulated, manually extended, a place where you can show your mental process. The sound source for the audio track in the disc is a field recording of offset typographic machines during printing process. The end result of the track is a sort of constructivist composition. The package which hosts the disc is a non-printed folder in heavy glossy paper, with a piece of burned paper sticked on packaging front plus a rough cotton paper sheet in the middle which makes each cover / package unique and different from all the other ones! Additionally there are four printed inserts, three representing Sandro’s art-works all developed from paper manipulation and a fourth one with all production details.
