about

III Volume from the TRILOGIA DEL MISTERO E DEL TERRORE
(Trilogy of Mystery and Terror).
"But if I have not had the strength to escape this unfortunate fate, I urge you, do it yourself! Don't listen to this record, don't look at these images, don't read this story. Throw it in the fire before it's too late. God have mercy on us. "[From the preface to the Trilogy of Mystery and Terror].

Conceived from the beginning as a triptych, the Trilogy focuses on three of Edgar Allan Poe's most terrifying tales, turning them into as many (and equally frightening) phonodramas.
Despite the consistency of a taste and a unitary artistic project, each episode is extremely different from the others.
Voice and bird call, guitars and keyboards, drum and ethnic percussions, synth and spring-drums, bells, clocks, music boxes, spring toys etc etc combine to create, strictly live and without the use of samples, a sort of "audiomovie" in which a strongly expressive and dramatic narration is inextricably matched with musical scores inspired by experimental rock and soundtracks of the 70’s.
To further contribute to this kaleidoscopic vision, the complex graphic layout of each release (an illustrated 48-page booklet with the original text opposite) was entrusted to different artists.

La Verità sul caso di Mr. Valdemar (fonodramma III) The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar.
2019, E io pago! Records
Artwork by Francesca Colavolpe & Fabio Ferrario.
Based on the most famous and successful of the tales dedicated by Poe to Mesmerism, a parascientific current in vogue between ‘700 and ‘800 and forerunner of hypnotism.
Il Babau e i maledetti cretini chooses to express the mood of mysterious and horrific scientism of the story through a suggestive and synthetic musical setting, deeply influenced by the German Kosmische musik of the '70s.
Confined within a short rock interlude electric guitar and drums, the sound landscape on which the hypnotic and dramatic narrative rests consists of an electro-acoustic plot traced by synthesizers and keyboards, ethnic instruments, music boxes and magnetic tapes.
