The Double Face Of The Zero

'The Double Face of the Zero' revolves around the progressive crumbling of the human condition, trapped in a Babel of toxic languages, hypnotised by seductive as much as false myths. The traversed architectures are empty or abandoned; inside, only faint echoes of mechanical rhythms reminiscent/incubus of models destined for passive consumption and the reproduction of consensus. Babbling, bare syllables are all that remains of a one-way communication. The new alphabets of communication systems do not need expressive space but consensus time. This journey is closed, however, by a text that is, in its own way, full of hope and that, like a compass, indicates a possible escape route from this mortal spiral of spectacular-media-political consensus. The sound sources from which the work originates are multiple. All electronically processed so as not to show their origin, in order to place themselves in an “other” space. All this not out of sonic sadism but out of a desire to elaborate a sound palette that is as personal as possible. A palette of sounds that tries to place itself outside the fences and categories that delimit even the area of research music, which instead, by definition, should be as model-free as possible.

Sound alchemist since the early '80s. In those years made some self-produced musical works in the audiocassette + volume format and participated, with single pieces, in compilations on vinyl or cassette made from various labels and fanzines of the time.
The work of those years has been almost entirely reprinted by brands such as Ecstatic, 777 was 666, Spittle, Old Europa Café and individual songs have been included in compilations made by label such as Strut and Cherry Red.
After a pause of about thirty years esumed making sounds with a series of electronic works (dark ambient/industrial) distributed on the net by a dozen sites and netlabels.
