Thanks to Blow Up magazine and Massimiliano Busti for the beautiful boxed review of My Cat Is An Alien "Spiritual Noise __ Ritual Of Spiritual Rebirth" new red vinyl LP!

"Un cerimoniale pagano che ancora una volta si compie per un'inesplicabile reazione indotta dal sovraccarico di energie interne, trasformando il rumore in armonia."

"A pagan ceremonial that once again is fulfilled by an inexplicable reaction induced by the overload of internal energies, transforming noise into harmony."

➡️from Edizioni Kappabit: "Questa sera su Battiti (Radio 3) un focus interamente dedicato ai My Cat Is An Alien. A partire dalla monografia "The other sound of art", pubblicata dalle Edizioni Kappabit nel maggio 2017, si tratterà in particolare della produzione più recente di Maurizio e Roberto Opalio e delle uscite discografiche realizzate con la Antigravitational Records.
Un sentito ringraziamento a Pino Saulo e a tutta la redazione di Battiti (Radio 3) per il riconoscimento concesso al lavoro pluridecennale di questi due artisti, paradossalmente più noti all'estero che in Italia, e per la costante attenzione dedicata alle nostre iniziative editoriali."
Pseudonimo Alternativo Roberto Opalio

Un piccolo focus su una delle formazioni più longeve e indefinibili della scena sperimentale italiana. My Cat Is An Alien (nella foto) è il progetto dei fratelli Maurizio e Roberto Opalio, una formazione che alla musica unisce una inesausta ricerca artistica in un connubio originale che ha ricevuto riconoscimenti internazionali. Questa notte parliamo del libro pubblicato dalle Edizioni kappabit e ascoltiamo musica da alcuni lavori realizzati pochi anni fa.

My Cat is an Alien, 'Spiritual Noise, Vol. I'

"There are no recognizable chords, there are no recognizable scales (Western or Eastern), there are no recognizable instruments, and there are absolutely no apparent influences from other artists. [..] That is what makes Spiritual Noise a significant new entry in MCIAA's extensive discography." - BRAINWASHED (USA)

Thanks to Anthony D'Amico & Brainwashed magazine (USA) for the stunning review!!

!!!! WELCOME TO ANTIGRAVITATIONAL !!!!

ANTIGRAVITATIONAL is the multimedia project created and curated by world-renowned instantaneous composers, musicians, performers and visual artists Maurizio and Roberto Opalio, aka My Cat Is An Alien (MCIAA), set up in collaboration with gallerist, editor and publisher Marco Contini (Galleria Contact artecontemporanea, Edizioni Kappabit).

Fully focused on MCIAA’s “aliencentric” vision, Antigravitational establishes a new platform of interdisciplinary connection between their musical creations and their works of visual art.
The imprint’s main purpose is to offer the experience of the deepest immersion in the sound and visual matter of each work of intermedia art by the brothers–as duo, as soloists, as well as in collaborations with some of the most talented artists of our time.

Pursuing their ongoing fight against the digital-only fruition of concepts and contents of today, MCIAA privilege the thingness of physical mediums to fix their art, aiming to survive the non-permanence over time.

Designed following principles of seriality and of installation art, each release takes the shape of a multimedia object which displays a proper artbook mounted on the LP cover jacket, and gives access to cinematic poetry films and extra contents as further investigations.
Various combinations of objects and formats are intended to provide an ever-expanding universe of multistratified references and meanings.
