Just like Black Shape’s track “Doom Room”, remixed by Franz Alice Stern, “Doom Room”’s video has been remixed too; starting from the hand-drawn character of the original animation videoclip, here the little monster has become a sculpture, again realized by the artist Matteo Giampaglia.

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 by Tiptop Audio Records, published this past January.

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.
The Z2040 is a great sounding analog filter that gives a lush, creamy character to any sound passing through its 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”.
