This is the flyer that E.A.---this ghost collective already covered many times in this blog--- released to promote its 10 years anniversary tape, a compilation of songs taken from the other tape-works released previously.It was compiled by Raff during the summer 1999 and then released by Iason on his cool label 1000+1 Tilt in Greece at the end of the same year.
This is the very first cassette by E.A. Collective.A ghost project covered many times in this blog now. Some of these recordings were
done by a few friends in a couple of discharges back in 1989!! Some
others were just experiments with a 4-track recorder with no ideas
behind them. A non-sense creativity flow.
Nobody knows why this tape was never eventually released. Maybe it was
because it was never meant to be a proper release, but just a fun
experiment. Some of those songs were then used for other tape-works, or
as re-works for other songs. Most were sent as contributions for
compilation tapes later in the 90s. For this
musical project E.A. means Non-musical Ejaculation. Enjoy it. ~f*a~r*a~w*a~y* click me Track listing:

Here a brand new video by the Ghost Collective E.A.,an old yet still active project covered in this blog many times now.
This track is taken from a new split tape with Entheogen Absconditus and released on the american tape label Cuss/Fetish during summer 2015.Here a link to read more about this tape-work.
I spoke many times about this Ghost Collective E.A.-a project already covered in this blog few times,here and here and here+here and I am probably missing other few links.
in a long video with other music tracks-I am posting here only the contribution by E.A.!
Alessandro was also managing a big Mail Art Archive in Adria(Northern Italy)-I wrote about him when I posted the fanzine The Mouth. and quite few other times now.
Vessazione Vocale means Vocal Oppression.For this project E.A. stands for Non-Musical Ejaculation. Big Thanx to B.A.O.for converting this video from VHS to digital format.
"This tape was recorded in August 1997 in the practise room of the Ex-C.I.M.
squat in Foggia. Few people took part in the recording of this tape.
There were Simona and Stefano on the didgeridoos, Grillo playing guitar,
Francesco on percussion, and Mini on drum machine + Raffaele
manipulating mixing desk, effects pedals, & microphones: alternating
the sound of the various instruments. It was a long jam session that
got re-eleborated by Raff a few months after in another southern Italian
town with the use of a 4 track-recorder. Eventually Raff worked on the
cover sleeve, and then sent all the package to EE Tapes in Belgium. This
label released the tape eventually in February 1998 in a limited
edition of 69 hand-numbered copies. By many people it is believed to be
one of the nicest and most complete tapes by this ghostly collective. For a full info-flyer of the collective E.A.: you`ll
find included in this folder an e-flyer telling almost all the
activities developed by this ghost project during the 90s.For this project E.A stands for Energia Astrale,this means Astral Energy"
This is the same review published to Vita
Ignes Corpus Lignum blog.
I already posted quite few tapes,videos and zines by this ghost collective.
I guess the followers of this blog they know a lot about it by now.
"As the sun disappear
into it's longest and darkest night; before it shall re-emerge to
bring forth light and warmth once more to these dark & cold
times" I am going to post here something very special for me
and completely unreleased.
Estro Assente is just
another name for the ghost collective E.A.,a group active in the 90s
and coming from different cities in Southern Italy ,Their aim was to spread the concept of anti-art using different media such as:copy
art,fanzines,ready made,sculptures,papier mache` masks,mail
art,spitfire,naked bodies,theatre actions,experimental music,sound
collages,mail networking and more.
I already spoke about E.A.
on Vita Ignes Corpus Lignum blog when I did pass to Crepusculum
the E.A. Tapeography, here if you want to read more and download the
tapes.
Now about this video;those
recordings where made back in May/June 1993,since then these VHS
tapes have been forgotten in my parent`s place accumulating dust for
20 years.
Only 1 year ago I managed
to digitalize all those video cassettes and few months ago I
eventually got into the video editing knowledge in order to create
something out of them and show it to my friends via the net.I must give a big "thank you" to my friend Terra Umana
for the big help and support while working on those videos,without
him I would probably be still trying to figure out "how and
when"!
I added to this video few
info so this introduction is enough,it has english subtitles.
Enjoy this
video-performance - unique and yet totally unreleased.
