EXCERPTS #3 is the 6th studio album by Tonto, a labour of love created and reworked across 4 years. The album follows the release of “Samplestretch Massacre #1” (Gross Diskos, 2023). With each release, Tonto delves into unique recording techniques. During the sessions, the song structures are transformed by hours of spontaneous digressions, successively edited into a final shape. The recording studio itself is regarded as a creative tool, a sonic surgery table for sounds and structures. In these sessions, the sound of cymbals and drums is captured by custom contact microphones, heavily processed and blasted at monstrous loudness into the recording room to harness the audio feedback between the drums and the speakers. The voice was amplified using a broken headphone modified into a gag mic. Tonto doesn't write lyrics, instead expressing through an invented language of sounds, with track titles transcribed in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA).

released September 6, 2024

An improvised concert recorded live in January by two musicians who'd never played together before this evening. The result is an addtitude loaded noise rock set that is very alive but also crazy and fresh.

This compilation of previously unreleased songs is curated by Daniele Nando Luconi and Nicola Amici.
It's a partial but representative selection of the artists with whom Bloody Sound has had the privilege to collaborate over these twenty years and with whom it will continue to collaborate in the next twenty and beyond. We would have liked to include them all in this compilation, but, for obvious reasons, it was not possible.
Many thanks to all the fantastic people who have made this adventure unique since 2004 and who have shared with us a journey made of dedication, belonging, and growth.
Once again, your passion is our fuel.

Manifesto of anti-stereo propaganda
----------------------------------------------

Clean sound is an expression of imperialist domination


Sound engineering is a tool of repression in the arm of the music industry

The last fortress of resistance against capitalism is patrolled by
the noiser who abberrates the limpness of polished produced sound,


in favor of MONO RAW FRONTAL AGGRESSION


NO FAKE AUDITIVE PERSPECTIVES - NO STUPID BINAURAL AUDITION - NO EMOTIONAL SPACE SIMULATION

A new astonishing collaboration between Rodenfaust Records, Dischi Devastanti Sulla Faccia and Produzioni Rumorose!

This unconventional recording will take you back to July 2, 2022, when a handful of skin abusers inaugurated an improvised percussion session at the headquarters of Produzioni Rumorose, attended by Fra Zedde (evil genius behind Tonto and Lampredonto), Lorenzo Ezla Rossi (whom you have had the misfortune to encounter in bands such as BUZZZZØØKO, Calendula and LESLIExNIELSEN) and Beppe Mondini (cymbal butcher for Ottone Pesante and Meteor).

“WORKOUT | WORSHIP” is the first full-lenght album by Lampreda (aka Simone Vassallo) and Tonto (aka Francesco Zedde), two percussionists/producers/noisers based in Italy, who have been active for over a decade in the European underground circuit. Such a two-headed creature is collectively known as LAMPREDONTO. The album follows the "! WASTED !" EP - released by UR Suoni in June 2022 - and largely display the same stylistic features. The duo’s creative process implies improvising in the studio, with a setup reduced to a minimum: two percussion kits played live, with no click track or overdubs, and a dash of real-time electronics. Songs are then edited and arranged by cut-and-paste. Being extremely physical, Lampredonto’s music speaks primarily to the body. After having devoured and digested traditional rhythms from all over the world, the duo spits them out blended into a noisy, industrial esperanto that is meant to crush every dancefloor.
Lampredonto's visceral nature is what inspired the title “WORKOUT | WORKSHIP”. In fact, the title can be interpreted both as a sentence and as the union of two words in their own right. Both physical exercise (including dancing) and the practices underlying worship are grounded in the obsessive repetition of certain movements. Repetition is, at the same time, what defines rhythm. This same concept is illustrated by the astonishing cover by Simone Brillarelli who - as was the case for “! WASTED!” - curated the album artwork.

Rhythm is therefore a universal archetype, linking worlds that appear quite distant and yet are very close to one another. After all, are there any substantial differences between the trance of dancing dervish and that of a raver?

As was the case for "! WASTED !", many guests from all over the world participated in the album. The ancestral vocal performance by Serena Altavilla enriches "Micro Gandung". The frantic title-track features Mark Stewart (The Pop Group/Maffia) and artist/musician Peter Harris ranting about the brutal commodification of human existence, over what can only be described as the sound of charging buffaloes. Zé Caveira (Caveiras) leads the outlaws to war in "Campo De Guerra". “Neolithic Group Dance” and “Ultimate Weightlifting” display the typical glitch-hop touch by So Beast. "Naked Safari", a pseudo-dubstep track haunted by feedbacks, backs up the dialogue between (Italian jazz-punk virtuoso) Andrea Caprara’s saxophone and (Icelandic musician) Unnur Malín Sigurðardóttir’s euphonium. In “Taiho”, a free-form wall of percussions stands opposite Jacopo Andreini's (Arrington de Dionyso/The Master Musicians of Jajouka) psychedelic Bouzouki.

LAMPREDONTO: percussions + electronics

“! WASTED !” is the first collaborative output by Lampreda (aka Simone Vassallo) and Tonto (aka Francesco Zedde), two percussionists/producers/noisers based in Italy, who have been active for over a decade in the European underground circuit. Such a two-headed creature is collectively known as Lampredonto.

The duo’s creative process implies improvising in the studio, with a setup reduced to a minimum: two percussion kits played live, with no click track or overdubs, and a dash of real-time electronics. Songs are then edited and arranged by cut-and-paste. Being extremely physical, Lampredonto’s music speaks primarily to the body. After having devoured and digested traditional rhythms from all over the world, the duo spits them out blended into a noisy, industrial esperanto that is meant to crush every dancefloor.
On this astonishing debut, the duo's peculiar sonic mixture is further enhanced by a handful of talented guests. The frantic title-track features Mark Stewart (The Pop Group/Maffia) and artist/musician Peter Harris ranting about the brutal commodification of human existence, over what can only be described as the sound of charging buffaloes. "Naked Safari", a pseudo-dubstep track haunted by feedbacks, backs up the dialogue between (Italian jazz-punk virtuoso) Andrea Caprara’s saxophone and (Icelandic musician) Unnur Malín Sigurðardóttir’s euphonium. In “Taiho”, a free-form wall of percussions stands opposite Jacopo Andreini's (Arrington de Dionyso/The Master Musicians of Jajouka) psychedelic Bouzouki.

The album also includes 5 remixes/reworks, thanks to the contribution of a few kindred spirits, who dismembered and reassembled the title-track to reach surprising results. In “Body Waste” Portuguese sound designer Jonathan Uliel Saldanha (HHY and The Macumbas/HHY and the Kampala Unit) stresses the tribal nature of the song, turning it into an obsessive, nocturnal techno track. On "Toxic Waste" Mark Stewart himself, along with Dutch producer Uncle Fester On Acid (aka Patrick Dokter, Adrian Sherwood's On-U Sound associate), applies his typical cut-up methodology to give birth to a bass-laden sonic behemoth. On “Lo-Fi Waste” Florentine producer HZHA squeezes the title-track into a middle-eastern-flavoured sliver. "Wasted X", by Italian-American DJ Michael Byrne, unveils the dancing potential of the original track, turning it into IDM élite. ”On The Run (Wasting Thrax)”, by Egyptian producer Polonius, completely dismembers the track, making it a piece of abstract art.

"! WASTED !" artwork is curated by Italian artist/animator Simone Brillarelli. Each LP cover is hand-crafted and a unique piece of art. The EP is a limited edition of 300 hand-numbered copies.

Suikeroom consists of the duo Francesco Zedde and Lukas Simonis. They were caught playing weird sounds in the Worm Studio in 2019, initially without any bad intentions, but drifting off to good intentions with the kind of attention span they could provide was too much to ask. So what happened was a recording that attended to a submerged attention with an unattended form of ascension, did even look like an instigation for prevention. But what kind of prevention? There’s all kinds of pretensions, as soon as they have your attention. Now don’t get me wrong on this, but are we talking about music here? If so, could I please be more specific. Do I intend to be funny? Well, my intentions on this matter are that I try to attend in words what the music apprehends in sounds. Call it an amendment for attention, the kind of attention that has your attention.
I hope this promotion text will tell you all you want to know to obtain the CD we’re offering here. Or at least buy some invisible digital files. It will improve your life, that’s for sure.
About the two ‘musicians’; Zedde comes from Italy, is a drummer and electronic wizard, organizes lots of concerts that do improv and is a decent chap. Simonis comes from Rotterdam and drinks beer, preferably in cans. If you want to know more, try google.
