(t.s. eliot, the waste land, 1922)

die schachtel press release...

3/4hadbeeneliminated oblivion dsz11 cd digipack deluxe 2010 ltd 500 copies die scahchtel is very happy to present the long-awaited return of 3/4hadbeeneliminated. the group (guitarist/double bassist stefano pilia, turntablist/sound assembler claudio rocchetti, tape manipulator/vocalist/guitarist valerio tricoli and percussionist toni arrabito) has created a work which is at the same time new and refreshing and yet completely consistent with their vision: a deep interaction between human, environment, traditional instruments and live electronics that creates a floating atmosphere filled with a natural energetic flow which borders on the psychedelic. thanks to the versatile use of the voice, capable of experimenting new solutions and suggestive ways of emission, and to the instrumental and electronic surround, they are able to create a three dimensional space, also thanks to the continuous switch between a concrete, rough world and a dream-like one. "oblivion" is their fourth full length album, and a further confirmation of the outstanding talent of these italian musicians.

february 2008 release ; first signs of life from both the duo of 3/4hadbeeneliminated’s claudio rochetti and riccardo benassi and barbara & simone’s hundebiss imprint, set up to further the “hand-made” spec ... aside from the music, halfway between “wall” noise (the a-side) and catchy electronic squiggle (b-side - i’m joking, it’s actually pretty harsh as well - listen to the sound-sample), there’s the matter of the edition itself ; a 7” record & sleeve glued into a larger black-paper construct that folds out into a bona-fide “pop-up” :: yikes !!! it must have taken these guys ages to put all of these together (some photos of the assembly-process below) - but you can’t argue with results like this ...
