    Artist: My Cat Is An Alien & Enore Zaffiri

    Label: Atavistic

    Clandestine auteurs the Opalio Brothers (AKA My Cat Is An Alien) have deftly sprinkled our solar system with their beautifully fragile, arcane soundscape/tracks via their own OPAX label, as well as multimedia collaborations with vanguards such as SONIC YOUTH, CHRISTIAN MARCLAY, KEIJI HAINO, THURSTON MOORE, LEE RANALDO, TEXT OF LIGHT, JIMO'ROURKE, MATS GUTSFSSON, LOREN MAZZACANE CONNERS, CHRISTINA CARTER of CHARALAMBIDES, JACKIE-O MOTHERFUCKER & BLACK MAGIC DISCO and even have been comissioned to design a t-shirt for THE WIRE.

    Atavistic is most definitely thrilled to have the pleasure of releasing Through the magnifying glass of tomorrow, a freshly-minted collaboration with one of the pioneers of radical Italian electronic music, ENORE ZAFFIRI.

    Mr. Zaffiri, composer and founder of the legendary SMET (Studio di Musica Elettronica did Torino) in 1964, is 80 years old and has been a "reclused" artist for decades. After meeting Maurizio and Roberto, he decided to set up a collaborative project with them. Their recording from the Western Alps of Bella Italia, Through the magnifying glass, a CD+DVD release running over two hours, is the haunting result from the gathering of these fellow musical cosmonauts.
