This is an online companion project for the upcoming Antonioni double CD release entitled
"Michelangelo Antonioni - Trilogy And Epilogue" (and/34), and is intended to serve as a general
homage. The works featured on this project  were solicited via public invitation. The artists were
given free license to create work inspired by the late great film director, however out of all the
submissions sent, only the ones featured here were chosen. Both the CD and online projects were
planned and initiated (in June, 2007) three months before his passing in September of the same
year, thereby making the launching of both projects all the more timely and poignant...

Even though the courtesy of giving people a chance to download and listen to each track is given,
it is highly suggested that the entire release be downloaded and listened to in its proper order, so
that the intended flow can be experienced.

RARE FREQUENCY  (DECEMBER 2008)
The lovely and/OAR record label, which is devoted to releasing sound art based around found
sounds as well as CDs of pure location recordings, has just released a free mp3 compilation. Titled
Translations of Opacity - For Michelangelo Antonioni, the collection features twenty-three
understated tracks made in homage to the late Italian director. The artists are largely unfamiliar
(with some notable exceptions, of course), but there is a lot of wonderful work here. Ethereal, yet
concrète — perfect listening for a cold evening.
