Simon Balestrazzi, Corrado Altieri and Gianluca Becuzzi, three of the most creative heads of Italian electro-industrial scene shared their sonic machines and intuitions for a due sonic cairn dedicated to an authentic forerunner of post-modern literature, J.G.Ballard, whose extravasion of symbolist, dadaist and surrealist psychological approach and subtly slashing social and cultural critic marked an important step of sci-fi literature, which Ballard renewed by focusing on inner universe, more than on aliens, monsters and bizarre planets or creatures from outer space. His characters are often alienated people, close to social misfits, almost always unsatisfied in spite of being protagonist of appearantly perfect societies, whose moral and ethical code were often rearranged so that what is considered a malaise could find its "codified" placement. Interferences and inferences between inner states of consciousness and external world, which often looks like a conformation to inner space (I'd say there's nothing so fictional in this statement...do you think fences could ever exist if mankind didn't have lust for money and possession?) in Ballard's novels permeates any onset of his possible worlds, where even music and sounds had a prominent role (think about plants who reacted to sonic stimulations, singing statues and other wise literary inventions by this British writer, who inspired many musicians and directors) as well by partecipating to personal conflicts and psychic life of Ballard's anti-heroes within their aware interactions between "real" world and its distorsions, their striking and sometimes perceptual dilemma between true and false, which subtly manages to contaminate or even destroy inner space. The critical ciphers of modern values, sometimes predicted, challenged, dramatized and exacerbated by Ballard through his unforgettable anti-heroes (Kerans of "The Drowned World", Sanders of "The Crystal World", multiple identities of Travis-Trabert-Tallis in "The Atrocity Exhibition", Vaughan of "Crash" and other embodiments of the social and "biological" intuitions in Ballard's rich bibliography) and pitiless descriptions of decadence, cruelty, dehumanization, cultural manipulations, consumerism, sex within futurist worlds have been wisely translated into electro-industrial code by this trio throughout a binding of white noises, corrosive buzzes, static drones, psychotic sonic architectures, serpentine paths of beats and pulses, which sounds like a musicalization of the perpetual dumping (congruent with Ballard's narrative production) from the inner space to the outer one. I cannot but recommend to enjoy the listening of this release while reading some Ballard's novel.
