*

"Postfantamusicologia" is a sound creation based on the texts and voice of Giampiero Cane performed by himself and manipulated by the composer Daniela Cattivelli, who electronically projected them into a chaotic flow. It is accompanied by a remix in which his counterfeit voice is camouflaged among synthetic fanfares and doppler effects, as in the encryption of SIGSALY, the secure-voice-system used in the Second World War for higher-level communications. The record is a special edition dedicated to the eccentric figure of Cane: musicologist, professor, journalist, writer, and sportsman who likes to be in the wrong. Realizing the impossibility of that (he should blame those who agree with him and so on) and given that he cannot find a solution individually, he has provisionally solved the problem by participating in the minority.

The publishing project initiated last spring by Xing is continuing: it started up a vinyl-only record label of works by both Italian and international personalities linked to the variegated worlds of live performativity. The collection explores a geography of artists who present this sonic field as a platform to expand their staged worlds. "The space of the record" is given focus and amplifies their poetics as both a sonic and physical phenomenon. The collection is entitled Xong. It is a unique project that draws out divergent understandings of the performative and live arts. Beyond genre and intersecting between different production and listening practices, Xong is also a historical witness to the end of the society of proximity. Xong collects a series of original creations that constitute an expanded program. Each physical record is a numbered edition on white vinyl hosting the solidification of the gesture. A wave upon wave, a series of "Music- Non-Music" to actualize both the artists and listeners imagination.
