EIACULAZIONE AMUSICALE-First Tape-Work-(Unreleased-Not On Label-Untitled-Italy-1990)

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.

ESTASI ACIDA-Please Try To Forget(Fanzine-Italy-1995)

Another production target E.A.!This ghost collective/project, active in the 90s, is been covered in this blog many times now.

This is a zine with a bit of a tragic history,I gonna attach here the page with its introduction and relative  translation.

Enjoy it.
~f*a~r*a~w~a*y~

(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 .

Vessazione Vocale[Music by Eiaculazione Amusicale-Video by Alessandro Ceccotto](Mail Art Archive-Adria-Italy-199?)

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.

This song was one of the first experiments,used by Alessandro Ceccotto 

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.

Enjoy it.

ESTASI ACIDA - PornoHorrors - (BV Tapes-UK-c60-1994)

Another tape-work by the ghost collective E.A.,project covered in this blog many times already. Here the same info that I passed to Vita Ignes Corpus Lignum blog 5 years ago.
This tape was released in 1994 by BV tapes in England. It came out with a small booklet (A5 size) with copy art- works inspired by the subject of the title. Most of them were copy-art works that were also used for a few mail art projects, or as contributions to a few graphics zines. Also the tape was wrapped in “blood red” medical gauze, closed with a pin. (pictures included here).
The inspirational themes for this tape were ”pornography” thought as a lustful pleasure and “horrors” thought as fear/pain/suffering.
The music is a weird attempt to put together sound-collage, field recordings, percussions, and more random noises. A strange trip into the realm of torture and pain and pleasure/orgasms. For this project, E.A. means Acid Ecstasy. 
A  Discogs page about BV Tapes is here,
Enjoy it.

ENERGIA ASTRALE-A Waterfall In Your Flight Of Steps-(EE Tapes-Belgium-c60-1998)

"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.

Enjoy it.

AMANO-Revista De Accion Estetica n5-(Magazine-Spain-1997)

Amano was a magazine printed and distributed by Industrias Mikerpo in Madrid(Spain) during the 90s.

There are lots of internet pages about this "anti art network" and they have their own blog,go here to read their archive 1994-1999,their blog is very well done and give  us  lots of infos about their activities and ideas yet about this zine there is only the cover sleeve.This is the number 5 of Amano,one of their publication and it has very interesting articles and contacts + includes Sign Zine,which was a visual art  zine dedicated to a different  artist on each number,on this one you`ll find art-works by Ego Abulico+reviews of fanzines,the art strike,Luther Blisset,Luis Navarro,Stewart Home,Vittore Baroni.

I am afraid all the webpages about it are in Spanish language and this zine too.

I posted the number 4 of this nice magazine,here that post.Enjoy it.

 "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

EMBOLIA ASSASSINA-Discarika Screaming-(Contaminated Productions-Italy-c60-1992)

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."

EIACULAZIONE AMUSICALE-De-Composizioni(zine-Self Released-Italy-1990)+EMANAZIONE AFONA-De-Composizioni Sonore-(Contaminated Prods-Italy-c46-1992)

This is the first fanzine by the ghost collective E.A.,a project already covered in this blog few times,here and here and here too.
This fanzine was released in a limited edition of 100 numbered copies,it contains amazing collages,art-works by few mail artists,poetries and "ready made" art-works.The cover was made with wall paper-I tried to provide few extra scans to give a better idea of the "ready made" works.It was mainly distributed via mail,I am afraid the poetries are only in Italian language.
 For this project E.A. means No-musical Ejaculation.

In 1992 this collective decided to work on the same idea  trying  to mix poetry and music. More than 10 people took part in this project, and it is definitely the project where E.A. managed to work as a proper collective even if the people involved didn’t` even know. The tape was recorded with a fostex 4 tracks recorder. The music evolves into areas such as weird pop, sound-collage, sonic poetries, dark ambient and pure experimental music using: microphones, pedals effects, guitar, bass, drum machine, flutes, vocals, loops, tapes, radio, and more. It is the cassette that includes more music genres; although never very well defined. The poetries  were written by various people involved in this project. It came in a plasticized cover-sleeve,150 copies were distributed mainly via mail by Contaminated Prods.This is the only tape that was in 2006 printed on cd,very few copies handed over as gift for close friends.
For this project E.A. means Aphonic Emanation.
Enjoy It.

Future Vision 2015 (Thoughts/Words)

As first post for this year that just started I am writing few thoughts that I want to share.

I started this blog on Dec.2013 with the  intention to post as much as possible mixing mail art,videos,music,zines and graphix.

I think I managed to achieve what I had in my mind at that time.

As future vision for this year I see myself less involved in all those activities- scanning old fanzines and converting tapes into digital takes lots of time and at the moment I am busy with other projects and my travels too.To all the people whom got in touch with me via email or with their comments I  can only say I am happy to know somebody out there appreciate my efforts here.

I did notice quite few people are using my original rips (taken from here or from the other blogs I used to co-operate with) for their YouTube Channels or blogs-almost everybody didn`t care to write a note to say where they did find those rips neither a simple "thanx",I would have appreciate one word or 2 of gratitude.
I still have lots of stuff to share but at the moment I do not have the time-Time is the Enemy,as always...
To all the friends who supported me in keeping this blog alive I send you all a very big thanx,I am not writing down all your names but you know who you are.
Until next time...
~f*a~r^a~w*a^y~
ps-this  copy art art-work was used by E.A. for different projects back in the 90s.

ELETTRO ALGEBRA-Damaged Eyes-(Fanzine-Matching Head-UK-1994)

Another fanzine by the ghost collective E.A., this was released in 1994 on the English label Matching Head,label already covered in this blog quite few times now.The fanzine was made of few poetries and poems surrounded by experimental graphix using mainly xerox art.
The cover was  made with an unique piece of mail art stapled on it,making every copy different.
For people into weird graphix and deranged fairy tales.

ESTRO ASSENTE-Carne di Fangazione,performance -video (original recording 1993-final editing 2013) new and unreleased-eng.subs.

"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.
