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).

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.

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).

Gross Diskos proudly presents “Tonto’s Samplestretch Massacre # 1 – Expanded, Inflated & Stretched Out!”, as the third release from the label, since 2021’s Slow Bicycle.

Out digitally today Friday February 3rd 2023 and and physically on custom dressed extravaganza cassette edition supreme on Thursday 23rd February 2023.

Gross Diskos brand new third release of Tonto’s “Samplestretch Massacre #1” is an expanded cassette tape edition with the 6 tracks of the original EP remixed and/or reconstructed by artists who are inspired sufficiently to offer their individual treatment to the sonic outpour of Francesco Zedde (aka Tonto), making this a very special cassette/digital musical gem that will potentially further enhance the life of beautifully minded listeners out there!

This is a compilation of bands and musicians who played live at Protos Orofos from November 2019 to February 2020, including those who performed live at the event co-organized with Antigono, Suburban Crew and Ibex Konsipa at Suburbia on May 2022.
