Black Shape – Doom Room (Tiptop Audio Rec.)

Tiptop Audio Records finds the perfect way to conclude 2016 with this new release!
Black Shape is a project by Piero Fragola and Mattia Tuliozi.
The EP opening track “Doom Room” was already released on the second double vinyl compilation Tiptop Audio Records, published this past January. Featuring a groove built around the inventive, if somewhat unlikely, source of slide blues guitar and dislocated vocals, Doom Room lives up to its title.

ANGLE – Hold Your Breath

Ink and the materiality of painting are the true protagonists of this completely handmade videoclip, shooting the making of paintings in order to explore the creative process with a sophisticated visual language. The liquid Indian ink is lead by a path made of water on paper, to overcome the boundaries of contingency, while the content pays tribute to the previous research in animation and also to the origin of the audiovisual media.

Z2040 LP-VCF teaser

The Z2040 is a great sounding analog ﬁlter that gives a lush creamy character to any sound passing through it’s core.
Under the hood: The heart of the Z2040 is a discrete design 4-Pole Low Pass filter with a similar core to that of the SSM2040 Filter chip used in the Prophet 5 Rev 2 synthesizer and is brother the SSM2044 used in the famous early EMU samplers and PPG synthesizers of the 80’s, both considered by many as “the best sounding ﬁlter ever”.
