MARCHETTI, WALTER - Il divano dell'orecchio

"On the occasion of Walter Marchetti's solo exhibition at 7022 Art Space in Milano, Alga Marghen presents the new edition, limited to 80 numbered copies, of Il divano dell'orecchio, a 5LP box set including La caccia, In terram utopicam, Per la sete dell'orecchio, Natura morta, and Vandalia. LP1, La caccia, includes the same materials as the original 1974 Cramps LP. The recording of La Caccia, one of the most radical in the neo-avantgarde panorama for 35 years, is divided in two tracks: 'versione all'aria aperta' and 'versione per uno spazio chiuso.' The sound is generated by hunting calls for birds and other animals. According to Steven Stapleton, this is one of the best records ever published. The new LP sleeve reproduces the Cramps original LP layout. It also includes an insert reproducing scores, photos of both the 1965 ZAJ performances and of Marchetti recording La caccia. A second color insert presents the composer recording La caccia as well as a graphic by Gianni Emilio Sim
