More Info "Many music works created by Pietro Riparbelli were released by Radical Matters in Italy during the recent years. A Collaboration he did with the Japanese cyberpunk writer Kenji Siratori was also released by Hypermodern Records. A K11 work recorded inside the Abbey of Thelema in Cefalù - Sicily, Southern Italy - aptly entitled "Voices From Thelema" was published by Aurora Borealis in the United Kingdom during early 2009. More K11 releases were published in 2010 by Boring Machines and Actual Noise. "Waiting For the Darkness" is K11's first release on Afe, here's a short introduction to the album written by the author: "Waiting For the Darkness" is the documentation of an action of instrumental transcommunication performed in a forest in 2007. It consists of a video, recorded during the last hours of the day and of five audio tracks composed with short wave radio signals recorded during the action itself. This work wishes to investigate the dimension of fear and continues the research of Pietro Riparbelli about Instrumental Transcommunication started off with the first action performed within the Abbey of Thelema and documented on the "Voices From Thelema" CD. "Waiting For the Darkness" was born as an audio-video installation which has been hosted by "PX Piombino Experimenta 04" international sound art festival in collaboration with Influx. This installation consisted of a video screening happening in a dark room where sixty short wave radio receivers were installed. Each receiver was tuned on a different frequency creating a constantly shifting and chaotic dimension leading to the pure perception of the audio/video representing the instrumental transcommunication action."
