Here's another deep and dark cut from the first session of the year, recorded on 2nd January 2021, and using some wonderful piano soundscapes kindly provided by @anmoku. We also added some great industrial/glitchy drum loops from @fl-souto, while Gillie flew in some horrible guitars Si had recorded earlier to complete the unpleasantness.

Xing presents the new LP COSMIC SILENCE 5, fluorescence 4 by Margherita Morgantin with Ilaria Lemmo and Beatrice Goldoni, sixth release of XONG collection – artist’s records.
The release is on clear/white marble vinyl, in a limited and numbered edition of 150 copies. The collector's edition consists of 15 copies, each accompanied by a limited edition artwork by Margherita Morgantin: an eV (electronvolt) steel scalimeter with an intervention by the artist.

COSMIC SILENCE 5, fluorescence 4 was created from the dialogue of the visual artist Margherita Morgantin with two musicians and sound makers within her research project VIP = Violation of the Pauli exclusion principle (2020-21).
On one side the record hosts the translation into sound spectra of a series of data from the VIP experiment in progress in the LNGS Gran Sasso Nuclear Physics Laboratories, processed by the electronic music composer Ilaria Lemmo: the sounds constantly oscillate between origin and destination in an environment of pure suspension. On the other side, it presents a road-noise-recording spawned from the artist's solitary journey from Milan to Porto by car, elaborated together with Beatrice Goldoni. The titles of this double composition are inspired by two sources: Cosmic Silence refers to the experiments in the scientific field with the aim of deepening the study of the molecular mechanisms involved in the biological response to environmental radiation. Fluorescence alludes to the physical phenomenon of re-emission of the radiation received, which can be intercepted in the visible range in the dark. "Thus the gaze in the dark becomes listening." (M.M.)

Xong is the name of the collection produced by Xing, a vinyl-only record label of works by both Italian and international personalities linked to the variegated worlds of live performativity. The collection explores a geography of artists who present this sonic field as a platform to expand their staged worlds. "The space of the record" is given focus and amplifies their poetics as both a sonic and physical phenomenon. Xong is a unique project that draws out divergent understandings of the performative and live arts, beyond genre and intersecting between different practices. Xong collects a series of original creations that constitute an expanded program. Each physical record is a numbered edition on white vinyl hosting the solidification of the gesture. A wave upon wave, a series of "Music-Non-Music" to actualize both the artists and listeners imagination.

Motivational COOL FLEX

Beatrice speaks with Nicki Kattoura and Charlie Markbreiter about the proliferation of Palestine solidarity encampments, their experiences at the encampments at CUNY and at Columbia, and to share a call to action for today, May Day: strike in solidarity with the people of Palestine.

Note: This episode was recorded shortly before the coordinated raid on both the CUNY and Columbia encampments on the evening of April 30th. In our view the NYPD last night proved many of the points we make in the episode.
