The long awaited Greta Aurora EP "Dying Venus" is released today. Her unique brand of performance poetry comes to life in this beautifully haunting and atmospheric journey. Really proud to have been a part of this. I played saxophone on some of the tracks.

Our friend and member of the Miniatures family Alessandro Monti is involved in delivering this rather interesting tribute to the Residents. He appears on none tracks. It's due out in March sometime...
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. This is a limited edition TOOK release exclusively available from http://www.klanggalerie.com/. Full tracklist: 1. BOD (Prologue) 2. Edweena (Part 1) 3. Smelly Tongues 4. Consuelos Departure 5.

ArchiveThese pages represent my best attempt at a musical journal, travelogue, archive record of my musical landscape and everything I have been involved in over the years. It features celebrated projects to undeveloped ideas, sketchpad moments, memories and general stuff that has been part of my creative endeavours and the Falling A Records story. I am attempting to place things in chronological order though as time passes and I trawl the crates in my loft, I am discovering that my record keeping has been quite vague at times. Please feel free to interact and correct where necessary. The page also serves as the archive page for the website and is where we post our various announcements etc., Archives
