Dron'electroacoustic Dark-ambient soundtrack for fans Nurse With Wound - Lynch - Brian Eno - Lustmord... The Haunting Triptych is a collaboration between Pietro Ribarbelli aka K11 and Philippe Petit, a haunted soundtrack giving an impression that some ghosts are lurking around… Dragging listeners inside a world full of malevolent creatures. Not unlike some works of Lustmord or Nurse With Wound the sound is heavy and claustrophobic and the downward spiral brings you to the final end where the last sound you hear before losing your senses is the beast eating your flesh. chapter I : residual spookiness chapter II : shadow creatures chapter III : doppelganger presence

PHILIPPE PETIT: processed acoustics/field recordings + electronics + turntables & glass manipulations PIETRO RIPARBELLI: radio signals, voice and field recordings

PHILIPPE PETIT is interested in soundtracks; even if he creates original music he'd rather be introduced as a "musical travel agent" than a composer. PETIT uses a computer to build up electronic layers, process acoustic and field recordings. To second the machine he likes to move various glasses, or percussive objects, and take advantage of vinyl material to fondle released sounds. A journalist for various magazines and radio as well as a musical activist, PETIT has celebrated his 25th year of sharing his musical passions as the man behind the cult labels Pandemonium Rdz. and BiP_HOp. PETIT has assembled what people call a dream-team of collaborators, working with: Lydia Lunch, Foetus, Kumo, Scott McCloud (Girls Against Boys), Cosey Fanni Tutti, My Brightest Diamond, Sybarite, Pantaleimon, Graham Lewis (Wire), Barry Adamson, Scanner, Mira Calix, Kammerflimmer Kollektief, Guapo, Leafcutter John, Simon Fisher Turner, Justin Broadrick and many more... Aside his solo works, PETIT is active in Strings Of Consciousness, does a duo with Lydia Lunch, recently released a record in collaboration with James Johnston (Gallon Drunk/Bad Seeds/Faust) and he’s soon to release other collaborations with Cosey Fanny Tutti and Eugene Robinson of Oxbow. www.myspace.com/philippepetit

PIETRO RIPARBELLI (aka K11) is a sound artist who studies the dynamics related to the phenomenology of perception, paying close attention to the dichotomy between seen and unseen: strictly related to the world of “invisible phenomena”. K11 is a project based on the utilizing of short wave radio signals + some other kinds of signals to create sound dimensions in connec- tion with the environment. K11 works whether within the world of music, producing sound and conceptual releases with different labels, or within the world of contemporary art realising sound sculptures and sound installations. He has worked in collaboration with the artist Massimo Bartolini realising projects at tha Fundaciò Tàpies in Barcelona and at D’Amelio Terras gallery in New York. He has collaborated with Nico Vascel- lari for a project realised at Manifesta (Rovereto). In Italy he is working with Enrico Fornello Gallery and he is co-founder of the indepen- dent music label Radical Matters. www.pt-r.com
