    - Each print is a different iteration of the De Chirichian space of the cover, produced by an algorithm that extracts its generative seed from an Eurostat waste database, making it unique.

    - Each audio track is derived from a re-work of a live set created with the same analog set-up of the official release.

CONCEPT

<< It’s rising! A great desolation, a haunting accumulation, under a comfortable sun, which lazily widens to embrace all surroundings: piles of garbage raised to pinnacles and poured into faults; polluted lands filled and overflowing; fields desertified to grass and pacified into parking lots; pits recycled to copper and plastic; and photogenic seaside resorts.>>

It Turns Out You Don't Need All That Stuff You Insisted You Did (ITOYDNATSYIYD), reflects on the need for the superfluous, in both a material and immaterial sense: of how strong a driving force it is in the (post) capitalist societal condition. The feeling of need forming and unraveling, often even before it is realized, has brought progress and decadence forward hand in hand.

Seeking to express this suspension, that never comes to fruition and never completely vanishes, we approached this release with an eminently analog production, as opposed to previous releases skewed toward HD electronica. All tracks are derived from a single long improvisation of about 50 minutes recorded live. Digital sources passed through analog effects and recorded directly in stereo downmix, from which the best moments were extracted, without editing, and to which voice and guitar overdubs were then added.

For the first time we are also openly semantic, presenting comprehensible titles, lyrics and characters, all generated by artificial intelligences. The partially surreal messages work at the level of digital hyperstition, in line with our quest toward the development of mysterious digital oracles.

ITOYDNATSYIYD is the first offspring of analog experiments aimed at immediacy and the development of new set-ups for freer and more improvised live performances. Recalling the ephemeral condition of need, yearned for and hardly satisfied, the work develops short pieces that lap up an approximate, skimmed song-form that fails to build up as such, never consolidating into moments of sustained duration, due to the very nature of the improvisation.

VIRTUAL ONLINE ENVIRONMENT

Starting with the De Chirichian topology, the artist Scual developed for us a digital interactive environment that can be experienced through a website. The user can navigate the environment with classic game-play controls (arrows or WASD + Mouse POV) and search for a number of easter eggs which, if all unlocked, will randomly launch the audio of one of the bonus tracks associated with the poster prints. This environment also represents the ground zero of a collaboration between dTHEd and Scual that will lead to a larger installation to be unveiled in 2023.
