about

Diplodisc in association with Falling A Records present:
ALESSANDRO MONTI & TWO HEADED EMPEROR - WE ARE NOT ON THE MOON YET (Italian version).
More info at: unfolkam.wordpress.com

In early 2023, Barry Lamb and Peter Ashby from Two Headed Emperor along with Alessandro Monti collaborated on an improvisation project. Each musician created stems which were placed in 25 numbered folders each having its own unique theme but no specific instructions on instrumentation, mood or structure and without hearing the others' contributions. They then created 25 tracks using at least one stem from each musician's folder and named them without direction from each other (the original themes were: Ghosts, Flying, Village, Cascade, Picnic, Sailor, Snake, Bossy, Metalwork, Roses, Cargo, Bicycle, Festival, Boss, Lizard, Nameless, Leaks, Less, Phantom, Bells, Possessions, Elevator, Pipe, Queries, United). Two versions/mixes of the album "Two Headed Emperor & Alessandro Monti" (UK edition) and "Alessandro Monti & Two Headed Emperor" (Italian edition) are made immediately available with the third collection of 25 tracks intended to be part of a more expansive reimagining at a later date.

Also available the companion album (with different mixes) Two Headed Emperor and Alessandro Monti - We're Not On The Moon Yet (UK mix) at: twoheadedemperor.bandcamp.com

Final quotes:

“Transport yourself from the faded grandeur and last dregs of a forgotten lifeless Victorian seaside town, to the tranquil, glistening waters, the ornate facades and exquisite architecture of Venice's captivating beauty, where time stands still and the heart is bewitched by a timeless elegance. We Are Not On The Moon Yet”
[Barry Lamb, April 2023]

"I met Barry Lamb through my participation in "Miniatures 2020" and since then we have kept in touch appreciating each other's music. This collaboration is one of the most satisfying that I've ever had: a no man's land between improvisation, chance composition, spoken word, instant poetry, noise and pop; nothing sounds like this nowadays. This is for the bravest and most curious listener: creative music with dadaist humor for today's world, where technology and craftsmanship meet"
[Alessandro Monti, June 2023]
