On October 9, 1963, 260 million cubic meters of rock broke off from the top of Monte Toc. It fell into the reservoir of the Vajont dam, producing an enormous wave of at least 50 million cubic meters of water. Flooding destroyed several villages in the valley and killed almost 2,000 people. In some ways, it is as if the landslide swept away the past and the future of an entire community.
An apocalypse lasting just a few minutes left scars and stigmata for decades to follow. Movement and accumulation are two keywords that guided the search for the sounds hidden in the silence. The landscape reveals reverberations of its past... the movements of downward sliding, crystallized substances, and ghosts of its previous inhabitants, frozen in time.
The original version of "Landslide", and the C. M. Von Hausswolf version, re-construct nature in a unique and unusual way, sewn with the smallest amount of sonic fabric. An intangible interpretation with impulses that trigger feelings of the fall, the movement of land, expressed with a new code of sound. Mixed together, overlapped, collided, re-accumulated, and merged together again. Sounds of the valley at night, layered with psychotropic drones and other hovering noises. Echoes of present combined with echoes of the past.
Double LP with 12" 4-page insert. Ltd x 300 copies.
