TSM03 is the first full length release from Bologna, Italy based duo So Beast. So Beast are Katarina Poklepović & Michele Quadri.

“Kira” will be released in two physical versions. This is the first, limited edition version in an edition of only 51 copies of which only 40 will be for sale.

Each 5.25” x 8.5” hinge lidded box is stamped, fabric trimmed, hand lettered, and covered on the outside with high resolution photos, a footprint of the musician’s baby Kira, and an attached little wooden boat made from an ancient piano key. Inside each box is a set of three more modified hi-res prints of the “So Beast” in action… photographs taken in homemade 3D dioramas of the Beast’s art studio… with accompanying vials of vintage pigments and tiny clock parts, a unique wooden and metal So Beast marionette doll with beaded face, paint brush arms, and hair taken from Katarina’s own recently shorn dreadlocks. Each box also contains an original painting that the So Beast itself is in the process of working on in his “studio” and other ephemera.

There is also a digipak version in an edition of 150 copies.
