Italian 'mail artist' Daniele Ciullini (TRAX collective, The Cop Killer, Oxidized Man) provided Le Forbici di Manitù (Vittore Baroni + Manitù Rossi) with various instrumental tracks on which to perform their vocal interventions.

"Shadow Cones" collects traces of the dark zones in which the stories and memories of the three authors intersect and overlap, taking the city of Florence as a common thread and leitmotif - Ciullini's operational base and an equidistant meeting point between Viareggio and Reggio Emilia - with all its variety of historical, cultural, architectural and landscape suggestions.

From esteemed pioneers of electronic research such as Pietro Grossi and Albert Mayr who put down roots in Florence, to the glories of the new wave scene of the early 80s that elected the city among the capitals of new Italian rock, from the artistic-literary circle that revolved around the magazine Lacerba at the time of early Futurism to the great poets and men of letters from across the Channel buried in the peculiar English Cemetery, the album sends back lights and above all shadows of a city that has never lacked in mysterious and arcane places or in political conspiracies and dramatic events.

An (im)possible marriage between song, cut-up and vocal experimentation, ambient-drone and industrial sounds, gothic fascinations and very Tuscan black humour.
