Search - Roberto Opalio :: Chants from Isolated Ghosts

"Chants from Isolated Ghosts is the real wildcard here, and one of the best releases from the Opax stable to date, with Roberto clearing enough space to really explore his new vocal approach. The results are extraordinary, with strafing alarm tones and deep fields of hallucinogenic environmental sound eerily illuminated by the unearthly light beaming from his lungs." - THE WIRE Chants from Isolated Ghosts is Roberto Opalio's full-length debut, recorded November 2004 in Torino, Italy and originally released on his own Opax Records label in a very limited handmade CD-R edition of one hundred copies. The work consists of four tracks with a total length of 38:02 minutes. Roberto Opalio, half of the Italian space duo My Cat is an Alien, is a visual and sound artist. His work includes painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, poetry, glass art, film/video, sound installation, and performance. His special works of art represent the trademarked style of all the limited art-edition releases issued on Opax Records. The extraterrestrial nature of his work claims its ontological status in the act of creating a non-finished, otherworldly dimension--a proper alien dimension.
