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.
(Translation of the last
page from Italian to English)
What you have here is the
third zine assembled by the multimedia project called E.A.-in the
beginning this zine should have been released on the german label
Cat-Killer,and in fact Carsten of Cat Killer printed about 20 copies
of it before the german police confiscated all his tape label stuff
accusing him of piracy-basically they accused him of selling famous
artist`s music(very false indeed-Cat Killer label was a small
tape-label of electronic industrial music). This happened during
summertime of 1995 while this zine it`s been assembled just 1 year
before in the graphic room of Pishina Okkupata in Foggia, Just
before sending all the masters to Carsten,we thought to make some
photocopies of all the originals. this is why we managed to have it
back, then Alessandro of Anapeste label offered his help to print it
again…this is in few words the story of this zine, all the texts
are written in English as we intended to distribute this zine outside
Italy .
Another tape by the E.A. ghost collective,project covered in this blog quite few time now.I also already wrote about this german label as I posted quite few tapes released by this amazing label managed by Carsten Vollmer.
Here I am re-posting the same info that I passed to Vita Ingnes Corpus lignum blog.
"Carsten From Cat Killer released this tape-work in 1994. There were only
2 long tracks running pure noise death industrial. Only two people
worked on this project. The art work on the cover was made by RAFF, and
then re-elaborated by Carsten who printed a limited edition of 93
copies. Each came with a slightly different cover; depending on how he
was cutting the two colour copies to set up the cover sleeve. For this
project E.A. means Atomic Elf."
Track listing:
Sickness Side
A Untitled
Death Side
B Untitled
I passed this tape to Vita Ignes Corpus Lignum blog back in 2010,so I gonna re-post here the same info + I am adding a song taken from this tape from my Youtube channel.
Enjoy it.
~f~a~r~a~w~a~y~ click me "note: It was never stated that Contaminated Productions released this tape, but in
fact this label exchanged it with other active tape labels at the time.
This was actually the documentation for a mail art project launched by
E.A. in 1989, and finished in 1990. The idea was to collect different
vocals (whatever a mail artist wanted to express with his voice:
singing, shouting, talking , wheezing…) and then to create with those
vocals a tape with additional sounds. Different mail artists took part
in this project, and once the tape was finished they received it as
a mail art documentation. In fact this tape has never been for sale, but
only used to make exchanges. The art on the cover was made with wall
paper covering the front plastic case with a little "window" on the front. On
the back there was a glued photocopy with additional info. There was
also a cover sleeve including the contacts of the mail artists involved
and the song-titles.(all pics included in this folder). This is pure sound-collage with lots of vocals. For this project E.A. means (non-musical ejaculation) "Track listing:
01. Your Voice by Mail (part I)
02. Break
03. Your Voice by Mail (part II)
04. Voices in Envelopes
05. Voices in Love From...
06. Angry Voices, Happy Voices
07. Noise Without Voices
Another tape by the the ghost collective E.A., project covered in this blog already few times.This is the review that I have passed to Vita Ignes Corpus Lignum blog with my original rip of this tape that I am going to re-post here.
"The idea behind this project was to use the sounds from the videotapes from the 1st squat in Foggia, called Discarika(as it was an old discharge), Raff and Mario with Megawatt`s help and machines extracted the sounds from different videotapes of this squat:there are then sounds of demonstrations, gigs, debates and daily life of this squat mixed with additional sounds/noises created by E.A.!
It is a full fun-experiment of sound collage and field recordings. The tape was coming in a very special package made of hard cardboard where on the front the tape plastic case was glued on the cardboard and on the same face of the board it was added a photocopy treated with an acid, so to make a blurred graphics work. On the back, there was a presentation of this project both in Italian and English.
For this project E.A. stands for Embolia Assassina, It means Killing Embolism."
I passed this tape to Vita Ignes Corpus Lignum blog back in 2010, it is not there anymore, so I re-post it here. Entrata Aperta is just another name for the ghost collective E.A., already covered in this blog. I am attaching the same little info passed to Vita Ignes... "This tape was recorded in the room of Raff in Ex Cim squat in Foggia. Danilo and Raff worked on it as a project exploring the dark side of the psyche. It came out as a good example of ritual-esoteric electronix. The main instruments were keyboards and samples. It was released in 1995 by Anapeste tape label. I don`t know how many copies Anapeste printed. By the way, E.A. printed some other copies just to trade them with some tape labels. It came with an info sheet about E.A. The cover sleeve is an art- work by Raff-printed on some zines as well. For this project, E.A. means Open Entry."
I am also including a good slide-show from my YouTube channel, a song taken from this tape. This cassette had very good reviews and I am very happy to share it again here. Enjoy it. F~a~R~a~W~a~Y click me
"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.
This is pure sound-collage with lots of vocals.
