Even after all these years, his take on atmospheric and cinematic electronic music is still intact. Falling Apart is the first new musical output from Adriano Zanni since 2008 and it’s a blessed homecoming. Two tracks of elegant ambience disturbed with crooked beats and the unfailing touch of inserting sound and quotes from movies and documentaries. We’re more than happy to release this single, which anticipates a future album, from one of Italy’s most refined electronic musicians. ADRIANO ZANNI - RED DESERT CHRONICLES (POSTCARDS FROM RAVENNA) Year: 2014 Record label: Boring Machines It’s a box of 61 single b/w prints, intentionally printed on recycled papers to avoid focus on techniques and induce the viewer to get the feeling instead. The pictures in the box are a selection of a huge amount of pictures that Adriano Zanni shot in the last decade in the Piallassa area. Piallassa is north of Ravenna, where the huge refinery stations, the commercial port and the desolated natural oasis melt togheter. The box is a tribute to the land where Michelangelo Antonioni filmed in 1964 his masterpiece The Red Desert, which marks its 50th anniversary this year.  Adriano Zanni was born same place, same year, he works in the same refinery where the movie takes place (ANIC, now Eni Power). PUNCK - PIALLASSA (RED DESERT CHRONICLES) Year: 2008 Record label: Boring Machines In 1964 italian director Michelangelo Antonioni set his ninth movie Red Desert in the industrial area of Ravenna, the Piallassa Valley, full of huge cold factories and polluted rivers. Punck was born in 1964 in Ravenna. The record is a little journey on the original movie locations 43 years later. All the field recordings and found sounds used in the record come from the site, there’s a sample from the movie too and Aldo Becca (from Ravenna again) played acoustic guitar. The result is a picture of a moment, just like time stood still until now; family memories and industrial obsolescence in one of the most romantic but experimental records to listen to. The record is a tribute to Michelangelo Antonioni, to Ravenna and the Piallassa valley.
