Alien Blood

VINYL FORMAT. One of the most impressive and innovative MCIAA recordings to date, the original soundtrack from Roberto Opalio's 2005-2008 film of the same name is currently getting screened as part of the Sonic Youth Etc..: Sensational Fix museum exhibition, which has so far been presented at Life (France), and is scheduled around the globe for the next couple of years. The improvised score by My Cat Is an Alien follows the minimal and surrealistic beginning of the film with sparse echoes of eerie sounds, growing in dark timbres and pathos. Maurizio Opalio's heavily affected "blood percussions" compress the air, while Roberto's wordless vocals, along with space toys, alientronics and mini-keyboard, walk the razor's edge of another dimension. The finale comes as one of the most epic crescendos ever performed by the Italian duo. Limited to 220 copies in handmade textured cardboard folders with full-color paste-on still images from the film.
