Setola di Maiale is a
radical label of independent musicians, improvisers and composers. It
was set up in January 1993 by musicians Stefano
Giust and, in the early, Paolo De Piaggi, with the intent to
highlight creative music. Setola di Maiale is founded on direct
participation and on peculiar creativity of all musicians involved in
its music productions. From this way of working, many forms of
collaborations were born along with meetings, friendships, festivals,
the performances at the 48th Venice Biennale or at Radio Resonance of
the London Musicians' Collective. The catalogue, initially printed on
paper and from 2005 on line, thanks to musician and computer
scientist Daniele Pagliero, documents both the music and the
experiences of this years of work. It offers official works of
soloists and groups, in the fields of so-called avant-garde or
experimental music, such as free improvisation, free jazz,
electroacoustic, modern composition, acousmatic music, electronic and
experimental music. Contemporary music in its wider form of
expression. The productions - very careful high quality cdr's, just
to say that cdr's can be professionally well done, and the music can
be great - has been realised according with the artists own will in a
very free manner. Setola di Maiale is neither a commercial label nor
an association: it's rather a laboratory/archives that operates
within a free and creative environment. The polemical Prieberg's
words, the exergue above, has always been used since the very
beginning of the label. Note that nothing is changed in more than 50
years. DIY attitude is inevitably the only way for certain type of
music to exist, in a market that either is clearly not there, or is
stereotyped. Setola di Maiale could be thought also as a pure
commercial utopia.(from their actual webpage.)
Enjoy it.
