description: deluxe white and silver-foil design cd-box edition, complete with a lovingly designed 64-page booklet in english and italian.

aldo clementi marks out the distance with an absolute refusal to provide narratives, whether of tension resolved, or simply of that logically unending succession of states of being so dear to many of his contemporaries. his materials, whether gathered from a tonal past, generated as a jeu d'esprět from the names of dedicatees, or produced by a purely abstract process, are projected into a rotational steady state that has no logical end or beginning.” - david osmond-smith, 2005

on the occasion of his 80th birthday, die schachtel is proud to present "punctum contra punctum", a deluxe compact disc box dedicated to aldo clementi, one of the most important figures of italian music of the 20th century. born in sicily in 1925, he studied piano and later composition under the guidance of teachers such as goffredo petrassi and bruno maderna, who also introduced him to electronic music at the rai studio of phonology in milan.

like many composers of the period, he employed serial technique early in his work, to abandon it later on in favor of a very personal, ingenious and unique method for creating new music. blessed with extraordinary skills of invention and assimilation, clementi may be the one living composer for whom "genius" is not too strong a word. his musical language is extremely articulate and profound, resulting in a fascination with obsessive repetitions, collages, canons, and incredibly complex rhythmic textures which have to be heard to be believed. at the same time his music maintains to stay fresh, dynamic and highly enjoyable. a must-have for all the modern music lovers, and a great discovery for the most adventourous and prepared listener.

dszc1 manuel zurria repeat!

genre: minimalism, electro-acoustic
format: 3xcd digipack
description: triple cd – multi-fold deluxe digipak + 16-pages booklet

the restless experimentation and creativity of manuel zurria (of alter ego fame) has resulted in a brilliant series of collaborative works with legendary composers such as luc ferrari, alvin lucier, arvo part, john cage, morton feldman, lászló sáry, louis andriessen, aldo clementi, zoltan jeney, stefano scodanibbio, salvatore sciarrino, jonathan harvey and kevin volans. a truly stunning mixture of electronic and longform electro-acoustic pieces, repetitive ethnic rhythms, drones and delay, field recordings, flute and the human voice.

repeat is the diary of an obsession that has been accompanying me for four long years. alighiero boetti, one of the fathers of italian conceptual art, had fit out along a wall of his house in rome his most introspective work: the wall. on this wall he showed, continuously modifying their choice and position, objects and works belonging to his own production or to the one of other artists friends, together with objects he found by chance on the street, family pictures and drawings of his children. in other words, his own world. during the realisation of this project i have been reading “difference and repetition” by gilles deleuze, which gave me the occasion to ponder on the involvements that bring back to the principle of repetition in music of our time. in a certain sense, deleuze’s writing allowed me to focus on the importance of repetition as a perceptive fact, and as an experience of listening in accumulation. in the same time, i thought of repetition as difference, as a minimal fact, as trance. this element has been determinant in my activity and allowed me to collaborate during the years with musicians who look at repetition as an exciting experience, both physical and mystic.
