Sonic Belligeranza

Super fresh on Sonic BelligeranzaRelease liner notes: Think of a number. It begins as a longing, a whisper in the mind that tells you to participate in the architecture of something unseen. The artist provides the framework the rule, the constraint, the boundary within which creation becomes inevitable. What follows is not interpretation but execution, the faithful rendering of a concept made manifest through repetition and patience. Think of a number. Each strike is a unit of measurement, a discrete moment that accumulates into something larger than itself. There is only the certainty of the kick drum’s voice. Like lines drawn on a wall, each sound exists in relation to the others, forming a structure that can only be understood by experiencing its entirety. Think of a number. The process becomes the artwork. The labor of completion is the point the thousands of repetitions that transform a simple command into an overwhelming presence. One could count them all, theoretically, but the experience is not in the counting. It is in surrendering to the system, the trust that the instructions will lead somewhere meaningful. Think of a number. LeWitt spoke of ideas as machines that make art. This piece is that machine, translated from visual to aural , from stationary to durational. The grid becomes hypervelocity rhythm, the line becomes pulse. The viewer becomes listener, standing inside the structure, a ghostlike figure in the machinic kernel itself, no longer an observer from without. Think of a number. 6255 will be.

Riccardo Balli Frankenstein goes to holocaust Mostri sonori, hyper mash-up, audio espropri Un saggio-prank che raccoglie fatti, aneddoti, dicerie dall’interno del gran genere-che-non-c’è, del plagio sonoro ininterrotto che ha varcato tante epoche e stili, fino a evocare il Frankenstein sonoro. Dall’introduzione di Vittore Baroni Moderna, intellettuale, post-organica e vegetativa, sono questi gli aggettivi utilizzati per descrivere la musica elettronica, termini che rappresentano gli elementi fondativi delle narrazioni tossiche e speculative, digeribili solo per chi si genuflette al volere dei mercati. Per tessere il ritmo del presente sul pentagramma della realtà, servono invece degli sperimentatori arditi, capaci di esplorare mondi paralleli, pionieri dell’infinito e skater dell’onda generata dai movimenti controculturali. Sono i supereroi dell’underground sonico e uno di loro si chiama Riccardo Balli.Funambolico produttore di suoni estremi e autore di testi visionari, Dj Balli fa a pezzi l’obitorio musicale, seziona brandelli di polka bolognese su cassa gabber, trapianta ritornelli hawaiani dentro i bit del Gameboy… In un gioco di specchi, testimonianze e cut-up letterari, Frankenstein goes to holocaust affianca l’olocausto elettronico al celebre romanzo di Mary Shelley, creando un Frankenstein sonoro, il figlio illegittimo della saccheggiofonia, una strategia comunicativa che si presenta sulla scena mainstream con il nome di mash-up. In queste pagine si analizzano le tendenze sovversive e No copyright del processo in corso e si svelano le formule del taglia e cuci da sala operatoria, per arrivare a fronteggiare, a distanza di alito rancido, il mostro sonoro con gli occhi iniettati di sangue, con pezzi organici cuciti su pelle umana di John Oswald, K.L.F., Negativland, horrorcore, witch house, black midi, vaporwave e l’8-bit. Riccardo Balli dj-produttore musicale, è il fondatore dell’etichetta Sonic Belligeranza. Ha pubblicato Anche tu astronauta e Apocalypso Disco. Collabora in lingua inglese con “Datacide” e “DanceCult magazine”. pp. 184 – illustrato – 2016

BACK IN STOCK!  Now also available for wholesale for shops! Movements that dig velocity. Movements that worship war. Movements that have been accused of being fascist. Sbrang Gabba Gang is the sound of two cultural movements violently crashing into each other at breakneck speed. What happens when the Italian futurist avant-garde clashes with gabber, a belligerent strain of hardcore techno and the Netherland's first proper youth culture? Sbrang Gabba Gang will introduce you to the strange custom of forming human pyramids at gabber raves, futurist after-shave cocktails and Pietro Cannata, the man who took a hammer to the toes of Michelangelo's David. In Sbrang Gabba Gang, Riccardo Balli explores the parallels of gabber and futurist ideas by way of personal accounts, literary mash-up of Futurist manifestos and a storyline that follows the vandalistic shenanigans of a posse of gabber-futurists consisting of Dominator Marinetti, Luigi "Holy Noise" Russolo, Luciano "Thunderdome" Folgore and Giacomo Balla/Balli. These ideas further come to life in a series of anaglyphic images to be explored with special magenta-green 3D glasses attached to each volume.

Balli – Marraffa – Balli – Marraffa – Balli… is the new code to tune in to the 8 bit-jazz revolution, dial it on every device you might have to start its ringtone made of sax solos counterpointed by Game-Boy melodies. Once inside the Balli – Marraffa – Balli TRIO the trick wil be to identify the many videogames soundtracks hidden in this free-chiptune ep between the wildest reeds butchery and the Game-Boy gabba. Of course ‘Super Mario Supreme’, ‘Grand Theft Auto Jazz Club’, ‘A kind of Arashi’ and more to be detected inside “8 bit-Jazz Furlough” 10″ vinyl + digital.

Finally in English, released by Chili Con Carne in Portugal! 1818 First edition of Mary Shelley’s classic: Frankenstein 2018 Frankenstein gone mad: the many horrifying uses of technology, such as Web 2.0 that encourages you to give your time and personal information up to faceless IT companies or worse…This book is a mashup of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, videogames and Internet culture, of chiptune music, galvinism, taffelmuzik, real life accounts of ’90s gabber rave parties in Italy and a celebration of Bologna’s finest weirdo label SONIC BELLIGERANZA, whose 17 years of existence (2000-2017) this volume celebrates with 17 texts. All written by Riccardo Balli who, having whistled countless 8-bit versions of famous pop songs and delighted his ears with chip-tune covers of black metal songs and classical music, now extends micro-music aesthetics to literature with this remix of Mary Shelley’s classic. Through some sort of low-resolution séance, the author evokes the spirit of corpse reviver Giovanni Aldini (1762-1834), credited with having inspired The Modern Prometheus. Aldini tells a compressed version of the original Frankenstein story, exposing its language to retro-gaming jargon and simplifying the plot as if it were an arcade game. The aforementioned 18th-century electrifier was the nephew of eminent scientist Luigi Galvani, who lived in MIDIevil Bologna just like the author of this new classic. Send him an impulse from your Game-Boy!BLEEEEEEEEEEEP!

Riccardo Balli Apocalypso disco La rave-o-luzione della post techno È necessario indagare le connessioni tra ballo, rumore e politica. “Datacide” è teoria eterogena per l’insurrezione di milioni di menti, USALA e poi AGISCI. Il Network non è completo SENZA DI TE.“Datacide”, datacide-magazine.com   Alla fine degli anni ottanta, l’elemento della musica techno si è imposto come un macrocodice virale sul quale migliaia e migliaia di giovani si sono riconosciuti. Nei due decenni a seguire è avvenuta una fissione nucleare che lo ha scisso in piccoli atomi: il breakcore, l’8 bit, la gabber, il mashup, la goa-trance, il mutant dancefloor… Una galassia internazionale quasi impossibile da raccontare. Riccardo Balli è nella scena dal suo inizio ed è senza dubbio il maggior esperto italiano in materia. In questo testo analizza le diverse ramificazioni musicali e attitudinali del post rave attraverso racconti orali, remix letterari, interventi visionari e interviste a produttori e protagonisti. L’obbiettivo è puntato sulle dinamiche di carattere politico che hanno generato gruppi d’assalto, situazioni estreme e nuovi stili di vita: speedcore, comunità psy, c8.com, Elevate Festival e il mondo delle chiptune. Una moltitudine di rumori, idee e movimenti il cui suono spurio e trasversale prende il nome di Apocalypso disco. Riccardo Balli dj-produttore musicale, è il fondatore dell’etichetta Sonic Belligeranza. Ha pubblicato Anche tu astronauta e ha partecipato all’antologia Nubi all’orizzonte. Collabora alla rivista “Datacide”. pp. 192, illustrato ISBN 978-88-95029-69-6

"La Cuadra" is the first collection of songs by Domestic Arapaima.
