MY CAT IS AN ALIEN & CEDRIC STEVENS - ABSTRACT EXPRESSIONISM FOR THE EARS (3LP)

"In February 2014 brothers Maurizio and Roberto Opalio aka My Cat Is An Alien spent a residency in Brussels for a long studio session in trio with Cedric Stevens (aka Acid Kirk), who recently collaborated in Fennesz's new album. With the support of La Communaute Francaise De Belgique the entire session is now available in its entirety on MCIAA's legendary Opax Records, in the form of this colossal triple LP set entitled 'Abstract Expressionism For The Ears'. The session is made of long-form pieces instantaneously composed, recorded and mixed by the trio during those incredibly intense days and nights of recordings. Dreamy architectures of sounds, floating sculptures of abstract drones and cannibal noise, modal piano, ancestral strings and electronic futurism, celestial music of the Spheres, imbued with impressive textures of vocal exorcisms by Roberto Opalio. Instantaneously composed, performed and produced by My Cat Is An Alien & Cedric Stevens. Roberto Opalio: wordless vocalizations, alientronics, pedal effects, electronic devices, vertical piano; Maurizio Opalio: self-made string instrument, pedal effects, cymbal, piano strings, Roberto's piano real-time loops; Cedric Stevens: electric guitar, analogue modular system, minimoog, various analogue pedals. Housed in heavy duty full color laminated jacket. Limited to only 300 copies. Artwork by Roberto Opalio." (label info) with download code
