November 11, 2022 will mark 11 years from the first event/release that sanctioned the birth of Stochastic Resonance.

We are proud to celebrate this recurrence with a VA of 18 unreleased tracks, divided into 6 digital EPs, which will be released weekly, starting on November 11 itself.

Once all EPs are published, a book will summarise the project and SR's 11 years of activity

**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, dTHEd approach this release with an eminently analog production, as opposed to previous releases skewed toward HD electronica. To mark the difference with previous productions, dTHEd, for the first time, are openly semantic, presenting comprehensible titles, lyrics and fonts, all generated by artificial intelligences. The partially surreal messages work at the level of digital hyperstition, in line with dTHEd's 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.

To bring the concept more alive, in collaboration with Scual, the release is been extended to comprise different media, spanning across music, social media communication, graphic design and interactive digital environments.

The first output in this direction was the creation of a limited series of 10 unique prints, generated by an algorithm that extracts its generative seed from an Eurostat waste database, each with an associated, unique, audio track download.
This 10 different and unique prints with their 10 different and unique bonus tracks make up an alternative meta-album that no one will ever be able to listen to completely.

The second output was expanding the De Chirichian topology, with an explorable interactive environment, developer by SCUAL, in which 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. 
This allows a glimpse of the unique bonus tracks even for those who could not purchase one of the 10 posters.

The third and final output was an aggressive viral campaign on social media around the hastag #itturnsout.

Ten tracks to explore a world where sound waves conquer emotional spaces, feelings, harmonic games, passages, expectations. Imok crosses his world of sounds and visions with simple musical features that refer to depths, which are now background and now govern the entire system of his music. In this flow, the piano insinuates melodies that bypass the rarefied atmospheres created by the electronics.

Nostalgia, the drifts, the anxieties go into the precipice of human affairs: as a sonar. Geometries of echoes to show the distances, waterfalls and torrents of notes to make this time beloved, similar as looking at a landscape: glimpses of valleys, woods, and then also underground passages, tunnels, road. This work by Imok seeks shores of meaning, being not scared by romantic tensions or landscape assonances that the composition creates.

But also distorted atmospheres, voices that seem to have a beyond respect to the music that surrounds them, swirls and encroachments, synthesizers and organs for a music that generates images, stories, visions. Traces that bring light to the memory: sudden shifts of flashes of light.

For sure in these tracks there is the idea of silence and a melancholy ending, ten movements to let us think of the after: the one that always repeats, when in the beginning the trace remains uncovered.

**All proceeds will be donated to the National Institute for Infectious Diseases Lazzaro Spallanzani, with the aim of supporting research on Covid-19**

_"Two or more integer numbers are said to be coprime, if and only if their only common denominator is ±1"_

In these extraordinary times, Stochastic Resonance felt the urge to satisfy two very stringent needs: that of mitigating the impact of the new general living conditions and social interactions through what we know as soothing tools, and that of investigating new methodologies and creative tools to virtualize real experiences, given the disruption that the pandemic has brought to the fruition of performances in social settings, such as musical concerts, theater plays, dance, installation performances, clubbing, etc…).

The first need, for many of us, substantially translated into the composition of music, a means to reflect and condense our moods. The results have been concentrated in 16 staggering sound/sonic pills, to mitigate the passage of time, raise a contribution to the National Institute for Infectious Diseases Lazzaro Spallanzani and to continue cultivating the network of SR's multimedia artists in view of a future in which it will be possible to, once again, apply augmented reality functionalities in outdoor spaces.

The second is been addressed by starting an investigation and the developement of new methodologies and tools to virtualize performance experiences.

The Interi Coprimi 16 compilation therefore represents, so to speak, the zero step of a development path for those tool and environments, created around the artists of the SR roster who will/can be able to renew themselves in a potentially distorted world: that of the post-Covid-19. Given the great uncertainty about the future, the containers that SR will develop will be as dynamic and fluid as possible, so as to adapt to different potential scenarios.

The title of the compilation refers to Euler's function: since all the artists are now in lockdown, the interaction between them took place in a twisted and novel way, if compared to the past. Pending the development, by SR, of environments that can fill the current void or even "augment" the canonical interactive dynamics (pre-Covid19), the artists have worked in the absence of a common denominator, acting as coprime integers numbers.

We really hope this compilation will help soothing temporal fatigue symptoms

In Notturno, Ynaktera and Kenta Kamiyama join forces for a delicate deep dive into the night and the different statuses it represents. The five tracks of the album are a tribute to Light and Darkness and the stories behind them, Ynaktera and Kenta Kamiyama have catched some and poured them, from the moment it starts “Tramonto” to the moment it finishes “Aurora”, the album represents a reflection, rest and slow down of life and then coming back to light. In this first duo album from Stochastic Resonance the two different electronic styles, noise glitch of Ynaktera and ambient oriental music of Kenta merge perfectly in a new combination of colors exactly like the Artwork of the album.

Tracks from 1 to 4 take origin from a live recording session of the two artists, during the residency of Kenta in Rome in January 2018, that happened in a late night when everybody was asleep and the two artists have the opportunity to freely move and blend their own styles in a unique composition. 
Afterwards the tracks have been re-edited and shaped to became a release. Track 5 represent the ideal closure of the album and is a tribute to the huge Italian romantic poet Giacomo Leopardi, in which in “Canto di un Pastore Errante dell’Asia” the poet addresses a struggling hymn to the moon which in the album is recomposed as a poem by all mankind.

An additional contribute to make this release unique is the “SR Shell” the packaging ideated, designed and engineered by Ynaktera, which represents an innovative step regarding CD packaging, being a mastercraft in digital 3D printing. Printed each piece at the time, with incredible small layers of 0.1 mm for a total amount of about 1500 layers, using special Ultramarine Blue PLA material and in a super slow speed requiring more than 24 hours for each piece to guarantee these level of details, this elaboration represents a new step of manufacturing using digital tools. All these to guarantee the exclusivity of every each copy for a collector limited edition CD. On top of that an envelope of antistatic bag to ensure even more elegance and protection to this precious Album.

Notturno is released in a limited edition of 50 copies.
