Massimo Toniutti
Due scritti imperfetti
Tip! "Due scritti imperfetti" contains three compositions meticulously put together by Giancarlo Toniutti, Deison and Massimo Toniutti. The location chosen for this collaboration was primarily the recording studio in Udine where, in a two-year timespan, the authors met to discuss, compose, record, trim, listening back, sifting out sounds and adapting their electro-acoustic mixtures.The music or rather 'musics' that emerged during this progress, represent different versions of ongoing experiments…

Black Truffle has been making quiet waves in the underground,

Antidocument/groundwork
A pebble codex. Vitrine is honored to present antidocument/groundwork, the first album of new work by Massimo Toniutti since 1991’s Il Museo Selvatico.
