STUPIDAMUTAFORMA is the first official mixtape from FERA, the performative audio project of italian Andrea De Franco (1989) after a good 10 years of demos, secret albums, live performances and apocalyptic trap/italodance djsets, it features at least 17 tracks over 42 minutes from solo synth reflection to piano pieces, electroacoustic collaging, somber techno mutism, harsh percussive droning etc.

press statement:
"I have been amassing demos, recording, small bootlegs and whatnot for years now. In 2008 I started to collect all the stuff I wrote but felt out of context for my metal band, and also expanded my guitar work to heavy FX and electroacoustic manipulations. Puredata, synths, field recordings, weird devices and dj softwares followed. Some of tracks here have been wandering for years, from hard disk to hard disk, as I moved from city to city, and the origin or workflow is just too long and confusing to track. A couple tunes have been performed and produced less than a week ago. There is still a ~6 hours vault of unreleased material.
In the past I would sometimes pack a .rar file and send small "discs" to selected friends. In a way it was dishonest to use friendship as leverage or shield to protect me from actual criticism and judgement. To my friends: thanks/sorry.
Thanks to Elettra for her voice recordings and Steve Scanu for his superb production skills. Thanks to Peter/Casper/Bastl and Eric/Landscape for their devices and to Olivier/AJAX for their softwares."
