My Cat is an Alien / Enore Zaffiri Release

March 17, 2009 — Mike

From Atavistic Worldwide:

Clandestine auteurs the Opalio Brothers (AKA My Cat Is An Alien) have deftly
sprinkled our solar system with their beautifully fragile,arcane soundscape/tracks via their own OPAX label.

Atavistic is most definitely thrilled to have the pleasure of releasing
Through the magnifying glass of tomorrow, a freshly-minted collaboration
with one of the pioneers of radical Italian electronic music, ENORE ZAFFIRI.

Mr. Zaffiri, composer and founder of the legendary SMET (Studio di Musica
Elettronica di Torino) in 1964, is 80 years old and has been a “reclused”
artist for decades. After meeting Maurizio and Roberto, he decided to set
up a collaborative project with them. Their recordings from the Western
Alps of Bella Italia, Through the magnifying glass, a CD DVD release running over two hours, is the haunting result from the gathering of these fellow musical cosmonauts.
