Musica per Nastro download is here.
This delectable assortment of acousmatic tracks from Italian sound artist/musician Andrea Borghi is a textural feast for the ears.
Originally intended to be released on cassette, the work is also a tribute to composition methods used in electronic tape music of the 1960s. Every track is processed in real-time by a patch built in the Max application and is based on cut-up, sovraposition, sound stretching, loop, echo and feedback.
Name your price download (now) or $7 CDR (ships Nov 5) at the link below.

La Géographie sans Regret CDR is available
The physical version of George Christian + Mehata Sentimental Legend’s scorching new album is out!
je cherche une place pour apparaitre
un lieu très lent
un endroit pour ouvrir les yeux
sans avoir peur
une vallée où les nuits demande au jour
de prendre son temps pour se lever
et où le jour reste en veille
pendant toute une échange de paroles
et de regard intense
je cherche une place pour apparaitre
sans me soucier des vents qui caressent
des instants sans fin
des jeux ou le rire est gagnant
je cherche sans croire
je cherche une place pour apparaitre
sans disparaitre…
