(etre): Inferno From My Occult Diary (Porter Records)

Prolonged noise experiment. Sounds like two radio stations competing for air in a fight of static. Pings, whooshes, occasionally hones in on piano or guitar.

Best tracks: 03, 04

01 Voices Stomp Flames For Requiem Times (for Vittorio Sereni) 12:04: pings, static, power tools/household appliances in outer space, eventually tinkling of grandma’s piano & manipulated vocalization

02 We Do Boring Things Together (for Philippe Sollers) 7:40: noise, acoustic guitar loop

03 To Provoke A Fire Beyond Your Shutters (for Ivano Ferrari) 7:34: evokes orchestral pit warming up, tribal chants; comes to a cartoony shrill end

04 Are You Here To Stay? (for Ives Vonnefoy) 11:09: serene acoustic guitar loop, didgeridoo-like boinging; Mid East bit; broken backward masked record; clean acoustic guitar end

05 Conseguito Silenzio (for Paul Celan) 8:33: rainsticky, shamanistic, trance inducing, static; becomes eerie
