"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.

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.
