In 1985, cult Italian band Bi Nostalgia (Luca Rigato) began alternating various projects with songs and pure instrumental works, exclusively released on cassette. During the recording of the release "ART is NOT Much", Bi Nostalgia asked Fiori Carones Alberto for a contribution. In 1988 the only way to share a collaboration without meeting in person was to physically send a cassette by mail.
Alberto recorded and mailed to Luca a short piano piece which, once completed, was transferred onto a c12 Endless TDK Tape cassette. Bi Nostalgia recorded a second keyboard part with the addition of two loops onto a similar tape. To finish the work he played these two cassettes in sync, finally mixing them onto another tape. He recorded one version for "ART is NOT Much", later allocating a second version as a bonus track a cassette.
Now, with the aim of reviving the spirit of long-distance collaborations, two artists selected by Luca - Deison and Fabio Orsi - have sensitively reinterpreted the original work, adapting it to the sounds of the new millennium.
In addition to the remastering of the two 1988 versions, Bi Nostalgia has conceived a deconstruction of the piece, linking some fragments in loops, creating an original adaptation. The title of the piece has been freely inspired by Fleur Jaeggy's 1980 novel "The Water Statues".
