MCIAA - "broken lines"
ARTIST'S BOOK + Music DL

the musical piece – an instantaneous composition by My Cat Is An Alien (MCIAA) – contains loops of field recordings of paper and cardboard during the action of cutting, bending, creasing, tearing, gluing, taping, stapling, stamping, etc – every sound that characterizes the handcrafting of this series of art books

REVIEWS:

"For this entry in MCIAA’s artist book series, the visual presentation is an envelope holding a batch of paper torn into various sized pieces, all covered with lines that end at the ripped edges. Roberto also wrote a piece for an insert about the infinite lines that are evoked when you follow a road to its horizon. The music is a composition of loops, using the sounds of creating the books for source material – cutting, tearing, stapling, etc. It’s not easy to pick out the individual elements, but the brunt of it is very physical. Pretty sure there are also some percussion and drone instruments in the mix, but with the Opalio brothers, who ever really knows?“
