Born in early 1959 on the Venetian mainland to Italian and half-Austrian parents, Alessandro Pizzin (a.k.a Alieno deBootes) has always had a close relationship with music thanks to the passion shared between parents and siblings. Starting with the situational improvisations in the second half of the 70s with the collective Fungus, followed by the foundations of the Ruins band, up to the complex multimedia realizations of the end of the 90s, his research path has always evolved in the awareness of the infinite combinations that sounds noises and images can organize to tell in turn new and ever changing creative illusions.
The Unconventional Residents project was actually conceived back in 1982 but due to different professional priority has been paused until last may, when some sketches of the old project re-emerged from Alieno's huge recordings archive and this time there was absolutely no reason to put it on hold once again. The unconventional approach to the original writing has allowed Alieno to elaborate strategies of arrangement and concept such as to upset the selected tracks, while maintaining a stylistic code, a DNA, which apparently is deeply linked to the primary emotions he has experienced at the time when he first discovered that unusual music.
