“Dear Plasticrane fellows, in the 20th eve of Berlin Wall fall,
we’d like to commemorate one of the band which will remains in Plasticrane’s heart:
LOST HIGHWAY.
The band disbanded a lot of time ago but, shortly after the recording of HUMANA EP
(Plasticrane, 2008), the band produced two other songs.
But then, Lost Highway died and rot. Its body melt with the soil, and became part of the universe. This Ep is Lost Highway last epitaph, which lays in the green plains of northern Italy, precisely on Plasticrane’s server. Visit it in your daily musical excursions and leave a flower in its remembrance.
Thank you and goodnight…Ep!”

Dear all,

Thirty Tyrants Prod & Plasticrane Prod. are proud to present the SEMELLE Original Soundtrack, composed and recorded by Wheel of Knowledge for Andrea Zanoli & Marco Marconcini’s Semelle movie, who won several prizes at the Location Piacenza Film Festival, Italy, in which it has been released  from 13th to 19th of June 2009.

Wheel of Knowledge thought it was worth the less to release something superb for this superb movie, and, in one week of work, the first results recorded joined the movie images; tons of sounds has been of course roughly cut of the movie, since WOK composed 40 minutes of music more then needed; in the movie, you can listen only a part of the entire soundtrack; but then, after champagne and expensive cigars have been consumed and the movie-crew get mad in Piacenza’s worst bars, WOK worked again on the music, choosing which sound would better fit to the imagination of the original thesis of the movie, which represented a world under control by police and by some infamous fascist patrols, a world in which the curfew begin when the sun set and in which idiotic mass media information reports politicians idiotic statements.

The meaning of the movie, which is that the beauty of the world is still present around us, for all «those who [didn’t] bartered their freedom for the safety to live under lock and key but [for those] who preferred the risk to be free», is widely represented in WOK music, who released a long track (32mins – the longest track ever released by WOK) composed in more parts like a sort of stream of consciousness on the subject described above. The second and third tracks, instead, were explicitly commissioned by the movie directors, while the third one, originally intended to be the soundtrack for the rebels’ pursuit scene, wasn’t add to the movie at last.

Enjoy yourself with SEMELLE movie (look here below) and have a nice hear!

“Companeros y cameradas de todo el mundo,
here we have a new, fresh, ultra low file production by Plasticrane.
Our run along the desert àiguey reached now Lost Highway,
a rebel extravaganza ambient-slow-core opera,
composed by one track of 45 minutes;
the construction of this epical musical building
has been released by Zavo,who remixed and melt-potted
the original sounds recorded by Br3to,Luke and himself
on a long, long rehearsal, in which everything happened:
sometimes someone slept, someone smoked and drank,
someone play while others were listening.
This is definitely a huge, magistral, dramatic
and emodronic piece of art you can’t miss.
Hear it while working, while studying or sleeping,
on the bus or walkin’down the street,
Lost Highway is the definitive way to loose yourself,
relax and don’t mind about anything.”
