The third volume of the From The Earth To The Spheres series. While the Torino-based My Cat Is An Alien focus their musical research on instantaneous composition, often combined in audiovisual installations, Jackie-O Motherfucker, who formed in Portland, Oregon, exactly a decade ago, base their music on roots and American primitive blues, free jazz improv and psych folk-rock aesthetics.

Releasing CDR volumes as audio-documents, as well as setting up live improv installations through their own U-Sound archive, JOMF created a platform of collaboration with other kindred spirits. Their piece, Breaking, begins with a kind of old gospel fragmented by beats, which moves throughout empty areas ‘til imploding into deconstructed sounds and voices over vinyl scratches, where silence breaks out loud and unexpected.

MCIAA’s Blank View is a psychic trip moving from the deep darkness towards the brightest light. This totally improvised track, made of interwoven sounds of cathartic guitar chords, percussions and xylophone, is permeated by wordless vocals, whose impressive and sad lyricism comes out from a streamline of sounds from outer space.
