I was wondering whether anyone could shed more light on the live performance released as the first two CDs/CDrs in
Close to a Corpse. According to the description for Urashima's rerelease:
QuoteOn February 24, 2001 Marco Corbelli take part in the performance "Autopsia dell'opera d'arte vivente come vivisezione del corpo di dio" in the Viareggio art gallery, Studio D'Arte Memoria Indelebile. Together with three other artists he stages an autopsy on a shapeless body, which represents the living work of art. Corbelli actively participates in the pseudo autopsy, as well as sounding the live event.
I am wondering about it because, as noted on Discogs, the synth recordings from Atrax Morgue were "recorded directly into minidisc." Since this is, I assume, a line-in recording, there are none of the extraneous sounds of a live performance in the background of the noise that you can hear on other live albums---here it is just the synth and nothing else. Given the description above and the fact that the live recording contains a number of pauses and tonal changes, it seems like there were other things going on during this live performance. However, neither the recordings themselves nor the inserts that come with the Urashima rerelease shed any light on exactly what this was the soundtrack for. Never mind that the label description itself is quite vague in and of itself.
Does anyone know anything else about this particular performance? Any ideas who the other artists were? These live recordings are probably my favorite Atrax Morgue material, so I would greatly appreciate any information that anyone could provide!
