“Delmore FX (moniker of poet and artist Elia Buletti) is a purveyor and craftsman of avant-world and post-world sounds. His sophisticated but straightforward electroacoustic language made of experimental novelty and folkloric ancientness has the oblique capacity of making one listen, dance and think astray at once. [...] Built around the mundane but magic disappearance of shapes, things and beings alike in the somber tiredness of nocturne shadows and vaporous ashen fumes, the album’s ten tracks are graftings of new investigations where the focus is Delmore’s renewed interest for the organic resonance and corpus of acoustic instruments. [...] Perhaps interestingly, “Scompaio” is but a simple suggestive choice for the album title. After getting lost researching the album tracks’ quasi-visible shape by squinting his eyes and ears on the acoustic instruments in long sessions, without recording or fixing the flowing appearances, Delmore FX then tried to remember and replicate said shapes in several takes, subsequently blurring the aural and physical contours of his acoustic souvenirs with randomized audio-to-midi sequencing. The result is an enticing, beguiling sound adventure into the unstable and ill-defined outline of objects where shapes get lost and shift vertiginously at the expense of the listener by means of demented sample superimpositions and crackbrained audio collage. For who knows the man, Scompaio is further proof of Delmore FX’s successful tentative process & progress in the untimely aural quest against stable configurations of things. An aim obtained with the usual stuttering confidence of a somewhat gitty form of musical rhabdomancy”. (Communion / Artetetra / Das Andere Selbst)

But what comes after? Each of the songs is intended to depict a specific moment of the story, highlighting the struggles and perils that the strife for an entirely new civilization brings with it. Kiamat sudah dekat. Alkisah is thus also a radical musical reflection on power, civilization, will and its unpredictable consequences.” (Communion / Artetetra) “Alkisah” soll weltweit auf verschiedenen kleineren Labels veröffentlicht werden, für den europäischen Markt haben Communion und Artetetra noch einen dicken Bonus auf die Beine gebracht: Für jeden Erwerb eines der 60 Tapes erhält man das Remix-Album “Maka” als DL dazu. Dort gibt es bearbeitete Versionen der Tracks u.a. von Laura Agnusdei, Nicola Ratti, Mai Mai Mai, Tetuan sowie den Father Murphy-Gründern Freddie Murphy & Chiara Lee. Ende Mai ist das Bonus-Album dann auch separat erhältlich.
