Content:
I. Ceramic disc: single copy disc, engraved at 45 rpm, original master of the performance recorded on magnetic tape, published by RMEDL and made on the occasion of the public audio diffusion, held at Sound Corner 21, Auditorium Parco Della Musica, Rome. The original audio was made available courtesy of Marco Melzi, Minotauro Records. The ceramic disc is an ephemeral sound object that has been designed to be consumed during its listening, during the reproduction process itself, which by mechanical friction of the turntable needle on the ceramic disc has gradually consumed the engraved phonographic micro grooves . Slowly the sound waves disappeared, leaving only mute dust.
II. Dust: ceramic dust, derived from the consumption of the record during its performance recorded on tape.
Print on paper: cover of the edition on cassette.
III. Photography: photographic print from negative made in a single copy by Andrea Sozzi.
The original image was made available by Fulvio Zagato, Paul Chain Official Fan Club.
