Maurizio Bianchi and Ramona Ponzini Release Collaborative Noise/Drone Album 'Seti non tael tene'

Maurizio Bianchi, a pioneer of Italian electronic music born in Pomponesco in 1955, and Ramona Ponzini, a Turin-based sound artist and iamatologist, have released a collaborative noise/drone album titled 'Seti non tael tene'. The title is an anagram of 'Tensione latente', one of the tracks. The album features anagrammatic texts derived from their dialogues, a technique Bianchi has often used. Ponzini contributed voice and poetic text, drawing on biblical sources (Song of Songs, Revelation), Jung's 'Seven Sermons to the Dead', and samples from Nagisa Ōshima's 'In the Realm of the Senses' and Pier Paolo Pasolini's 'Teorema'. The work juxtaposes analog cassette format with AI-generated audio, aiming to encourage slow, contemplative listening. The cassette is published by Tocca Il Futuro. Bianchi has collaborated with sound explorers such as Siegmar Fricke, Nobu Kasahara, Hitoshi Kojo, and Patrizia Oliva. Ponzini's performances have been hosted at Castello di Rivoli, MACRO Rome, and MAXXI L'Aquila.
