_______VAI A CASA, SEI UBRIACO!
Bamboo Shows presents today the second opus of its 'vai a casa, sei ubriaco!' cassette series focusing on sunitty, an Italian reinterpretation of Fourth World Music through the prism of the world wide web.


_______ POLONIUS - ANTIQUE FANTASIA VOL. 4: POLONIUS 2
After introducing Babau for the inaugural cassette, the second installment of the sunitty focus showcases another contributor of the “Vapordub” V/A, with Egyptian Seif Gaber aka Polonius, dear friend of ArteTetrA, where he released the “Anaxia” and “Shades of Paradise” timeless yet time-bending cassettes (January and March 2019).

For the occasion the Milano-based musician exhumed the fourth opus of his Antique Fantasia series, a saga of six demo-tapes recorded between 2015 and 2018. Here’s the plainly entitled “Polonius 2”, a particularly eccentric segment of the aforementioned series. An album he has reworked and redefined over the years, initially inspired by Cocteau and maybe also a bit by Picasso. A translation of their simple, fresh line drawings and the distinctive flavor of that era through impulsive, offhand and elusive sounds. However, over the years this album became more about “gods, demigods and odd beings frolicking naked on flying checkerboards”, according to Polonius himself.

Delving into fourth-world abstractions and low-fidelity design, freeform creativity delivers here spontaneous exuberance, in Gaber‘s very own mischievous style. The piano checkerboard scrolls voluptuously, its ivory and ebony keys a canvas for his sonic alchemy. Synths soar and flirt with lively rhythms taking from the tribal folklore, creating a soundscape that appears both traditional and fanciful. Polonius' pataphysical tapestry unfurls an unlimited panorama of fantasized, unthought-of realms where the boundaries between genres and cultures dissolve.

ESTATE is the debut AKHET Edizioni issue: an assemblage of unreleased works contributed by the many artists who participated in AKHET’s first year of site-specific programming in Naples historic centre.

The 26-track compilation features Aspec(t), Ausschuss, Cadaver Mike, Canedicoda, CECILIA, Ciro Vitiello, Compsa, D.Ham, Deskulling, Eks, Elisha Morningstar, Elvin Brandhi, Eraclio, Flora Yin-Wong, Forest Factory, Franco Franco, I Jahbar, Koenraad Ecker, las vegan, Le grand K, Lorenzo Abattoir, Luigi Monteanni, MIIIN---AMOR, Nocturnerror, NPLGNN, NZIRIA, Radford Electronics, Rabit, Renato Grieco, Sara Persico, STILL, Talpah, Tarawangsawelas, Tati au Miel, and Yokel, serving as a convergence of dissonant practices and collective gestures. Traversing the volatile terrains of noise, improvised sound, avant-garde folk, experimental rap, and post-club mutations, each piece embodies the tension between transient environments and enduring creative dialogues.

ESTATE, the Italian word for “summer”, concludes AKHET’s first cycle of programming. This cycle, reflecting on the impermanence of seasons, unfolded through three mini-festivals ("Autunno", "Inverno" and "Primavera") and a traveling review ("Caldo Astratto"). In a time when seasons melt into one another and winter feels disturbingly melded, ESTATE serves as a temporal marker, reimagined here amidst shifting climatic and cultural cycles.

Conceived as both artifact and reusable ephemeral, the release materializes as a limited edition of 101 tin cans designed by Canedicoda, each containing a USB microchip and other delicacies, while photographs by Salvatore Pastore document its materiality. The digital artwork by Augusto Fabio Cerqua extends this material dimension into a visual language that resonates with the conceptual and aesthetic framework of the release.

Curated by AKHET.

Mastered by Heba Kadry (Track 1) and Guido Marziale (Tracks 2 to 26).
Design by Canedicoda.
Photography by Salvatore Pastore.
