my cat is an alien


"instantaneous composers, performers and audiovisual artists, Italian brothers Maurizio and Roberto Opalio, introduce humans to their new creation: 'What Space Is Made For' is the first step in the new parallel universe they call 'multi-layered instantaneous composition'. their highly original music has been brilliantly celebrated as staggering sound sculptures, mesmerizing trance-state minimalism, impressionistic noise, pure hallucination of dislocated inputs and outputs, a haunting ambient mantra, cathartic tribalism, a visionary voyage through three millennia of cosmic music. the truth is that My Cat is An Alien sound like nothing else in music now and ever.


the monumental set 'What Space Is Made For' has been recorded in their secret base on the Western Alps, and unlike their previous works, it's mostly made of short pieces and songs. in addition to their (un)usual instrumentation (electric and acoustic guitars, space toys, percussion), My Cat is An Alien have self-made, modified, and assembled / disassembled primitive electronic equipment. so the result may sound their most experimental as well as their most accessible work to date." elliptical noise

what space is made for es el bucle infinito de dos hermanos que son definitivamente de otro planeta, inabarcable, abstracto, absorbente, painting petals on planet ghost emitiendo mantras desde los remotos alpes occidentales, prayin for the light to last forever, fragmentos suspendidos en el tiempo (oh sunrise),...

"Torino is a very peculiar city and its spirit has influenced our conception of music and art. we think its austere, dark and surrealist atmosphere, its autumnal early-morning fog permeate all our works. we love watching its skyline from our balcony at sunset, when the dark shadows of the Alps surround the dead chimneys like black ghosts dancing around the last flames, just before black falls." maurizo & roberto opalio
