Tony Neptune continues the story of Yuri Gagarin, the fabled cosmonaut and explorer who tragically died in 1961. In the third of these odes to Gagarin we join our Hero after escaping the city of Toierra. Drawn by a mysterious pull he tries to find help and allies to bring down the Clinks and save his friends. Four pieces of original music have been to accompany the painting on the cover as part of a wider soundtrack to complement the narrative of this remarkable yet troubled man. An insert detailing the story will supplement the narrative of each issue.

Below a great canopy of trees a light rustling can be heard, the snapping of twigs and two voices muffled by the foliage. Yuri and Lyaru’s argument though loud when close by seemed to fragment into the gloom like a puff of smoke. The two beings had walked for hours, they were exhausted, hungry covered in scratches and bites and both needed a well deserved break from their companion. 

Yuri succumbing to hunger leaves Lyaru after setting up camp to look for sustenance. The trees though are an unforgiving scene for our weary adventurer and within minutes Yuri is blundering through the undergrowth lost and utterly alone. For hours he moves through the trees, the eyes of the forest upon him, the noises of snapping branches made by Yuri's feet answered by unfamiliar cries of animals and worse that lay in the undergrowth. Finally Yuri sees a patch of light ahead, a clearing and the unmistakable sound of running water.

In the clearing’s centre an empty dome sits on a weathered stone plinth and Yuri approaches with trepidation. The sounds of the forrest that have been with the adventurer for the past how ever many hours have gone, eaten by the impenetrable surrounding of vegetation save for the trickle of flowing water from the forrest pool. When he reaches out to touch the ancient structure it’s contents morph from nothingness into the city of Toierra, a city at war. Two great ships hover malevolently over the city intimidating the populace into submission. With another look the image fades to be replaced by the vision of a woman alone in a room, her head in her hands, the bed she’s sat on gently bowed as she rocks backwards and forwards her shadow dancing behind her from the light cast by a singular oil lamp on a desk. Yuri’s wife suddenly looks up suddenly and she starts at the sight of him the barrier of space and time suddenly an irrelevancy as their eyes meet through the dome. Then a voice out of the darkness makes Yuri jump and removes him from his revery and memories of a life that no longer belongs to him. The image disappears and Yuri turns slowly to see two creatures watching him from the trees.

Southern-born, Turin based Stefania Vos has been spinning as a DJ, radio host and producer, and community agitator for over half a decade. A core member of Turin-born international community radio RBL.MEDIA, she's also one third of Non Frequenze Festival’s curatorial board and co-founder of Imbarchino del Valentino, one of Northern Italy’s most active venues for contemporary and independent electronic, experimental and underground music.  

The mix is a personal sonic depiction of intimacy; A slow and suspended voyage through nocturnal listenings, collaging the suspended and at times uncanny atmospheres of half-sleep states and the blissful moments of surrender to the quiet beauty of simple things, like looking at the dust shimmering in the air against the sunlight while listening to music.
