The new Two Headed Emperor double album is released today along with the international version which also contains Alessandro's vision of the album.
In early 2023, Barry Lamb and Peter Ashby from Two Headed Emperor along with Alessandro Monti collaborated on an improvisation project. Each musician created stems which were placed in 25 numbered folders each having its own unique theme but no specific instructions on instrumentation, mood or structure and without hearing the others' contributions. They then created 25 tracks using at least one stem from each musician's folder and named them without direction from each other (the original themes were: Ghosts, Flying, Village, Cascade, Picnic, Sailor, Snake, Bossy, Metalwork, Roses, Cargo, Bicycle, Festival, Boss, Lizard, Nameless, Leaks, Less, Phantom, Bells, Possessions, Elevator, Pipe, Queries, United). Two versions/mixes of the album "Two Headed Emperor & Alessandro Monti" (UK edition) and "Alessandro Monti & Two Headed Emperor" (Italian edition) are made immediately available with the third collection of 25 tracks intended to be part of a more expansive reimagining at a later date.

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
