about

This is by far the weirdest release by Matteo Uggeri in his whole career, that started in 1993. The design of this bizarre album took over 8 years to record and release. It involves the bo of a bunch of fellow musicians, as each of them has been invited to sing a song, a cover, at the phone to Matteo, waiting with a recorder. Hence, the tracks are mainly direct takes through the delicate, old microphones present in the (70's) telephone handsets.

Integrated with bits of conversations, crackles, background noises, hisses and breaths, they result in an album which is an unique flow of whispered vocals on sparse instrumental arrangements.

The album is released in three formats, from an extremely limited to 15 copies "Dial Box Edition", that includes a real old hacked (but working) phone handset with a true 3.5 mm audio jack to a limited CD with 85 different black and white postcards covers included, to 30 cassettes.
Please contact directly Matteo for physical copies!!
