Ambienti Coassiali Volume 1 - Room 1-6

"Ambienti Coassiali began in the '80s as a parallel project of Capricorni Pneumatici.
Ambienti Coassiali's debut release was self-released as an incredibly limited cassette
in 1988. The compositions were recorded solely with a Yamaha DX7 and two track
Revox A77 tape machine, creating straight-to-tape minimalist ethereal FM synthesis
compositions. Both the name of the project and the title of the pieces, numbered 1
to 6 corresponding to as many rooms (stanze), recall the concept of ambient music
that underlies Vol. 1." "Parallel to the musical project Ambienti Coassiali, a video
project has developed called "Empty Heads" which is based upon the same concepts.
Originally prepared as ambient "video wallpaper", the video project incorporates
synthetic images generated with analog electronic television equipment. Empty Heads
participated in video festivals around the world in the late 1980s and the project has
evolved over the last 30 years, realizing the finished Ambienti Coassiali Vol. 1 visual
project in 2017. Remastered and issued on DVD, the Vol. 1 video project will be
released for the first time in its entirety through Incidental Music." "With the release
of 2017's Spare Rooms on Italy's legendary Artisti Del 900 (ADN) label, Incidental
Music's 2018 vinyl re-issue of Vol. 1, and the forthcoming Vol. 2, Ambienti Coassiali
continues to surprise with new compositions nearly 30 years later." "Ambienti
Coassiali videos stand as spaces of the mind populated by signs, dreams, words, lights
and clippings of clouds, on a curtain woven by signs and words that compose and
break out of the organized codes.. The videos were made using the broadcast TV
equipment of a public TV station during night shifts. "Experimenting and exploiting
the capabilities of video mixers, titlers, colour correctors, tube cameras, video tapes
and editing controllers - synthetic abstract images, light loops and poetry text have
been created and edited to form the structure of the three original Rooms videos (4-
5-6). Using the same techniques as before, Room 3 was made in 1996, and the
remaining two Rooms have been realized in 2017, in occasion of the reissue of
Ambienti Coassiali Vol. 1 by Incidental Music." "From 1988 to 1994 Empty Heads
videos were presented at festivals in Europe, Japan, and the USA."
