Nullaconta (“nothing matters” in Italian) is the brainchild of Italian artist Matteo Zanin. It’s a project born from deeply personal struggles and an unrelenting drive to transform pain into sound. Nullaconta's music blurs boundaries, mixing digital hardcore, electronic, and Harsh Pop to deliver raw, unfiltered emotions.

From 2019 to 2021, Matteo Zanin released several DIY EPs under various pseudonyms as part of an ongoing experimentation phase. Drawing from his hardcore punk background, he began incorporating screams into his music, and in 2022, he released the first demo under the name Nullaconta. This project quickly caught the attention of other artists, one of whom collaborated with Matteo to form the band Dell’Anima Nella Serpe, with whom they released an EP and a split album. The project had a two-year lifespan during which they played numerous live shows, including a self-organized European tour alongside the French experimental noise-screamo band Nuit Bleue.

Currently, Nullaconta is involved in other projects, including the raw acid house/hardcore outfit Culto Del Ratto (a collaboration with Leather Parisi) and the more experimental Ace Slut Recovery, which combines 80’s industrial, post-punk, and SOPHIE-like experimentations, all infused with Alex’s voice and poetry (known as Trielina for his punk rock/post-fetish vegan-leather fashion brand).

Tutto Nero (literally “All Black”), is an 8-track album that fully embodies Nullaconta’s emotional discomfort and personal struggles. It takes pop-like melodies and crushes them under layers of distortion and intense hardcore screaming, creating a unique and aggressive sonic landscape. The album explores the artist's most intimate challenges—depression, anxiety, and frustration with years of failed therapy and treatments. Through this project, Nullaconta has crafted his own genre: Harsh Pop, blending accessible melodies with overwhelming, cathartic noise.

Release date: January 20th, 2025.

HATE OR GLORY

Debuting on Eastern Nurseries with "On a Grain of Rice", Berlin-based, American sound artist Mitchell Keaney traces a compelling line through the metaphysical nature of Arizona's deserts. Derived from a collection of recordings made while wandering the quiet streets of downtown Sedona after hours, Keaney captures the stillness and quiet intensity of the area and transforms it through digital collage and electroacoustic composition.

Forming part of his live performances throughout 2023, the pieces on "On a Grain of Rice" began to emulate their namesake buttes, with their rising tensions, crescendos and descents capturing the essence of the geological landmarks Keaney had hiked around earlier in the year. Connecting these buttes, Keaney built a trio of briefer “trails”, contextualising the mountainous compositions of the buttes with intermissions filled with distant unintelligible conversations, live music bleeding from a neighbourhood bar and gravel crunching underfoot.

Blending harsher textures with a delicate, almost pastoral sensibility, Keaney’s ear for detail has culminated in a body of work that offers an ode to all of the desert dwellers; those who have resided there in the past and present, and especially those who have gone through one in the psychological, or spiritual, sense.
