Nicotina
The Tower Of Ping Pong
Album IT 2000 on Burp Publications label
Rock (Avant-garde)
Sub-titled "Casual Guitar & MHTones". Recorded from 1995 to 1999 at "Astronave" in CPA FI-SUD, Florence, Italy, and at Caiman Island. Editing and mastering at Westlink Recordings. Inner sleeve with track notes and track B3 lyrics. Cat# on rear sleeve is wrongly numbered 1. Track B2 is titled "Craters" on rear sleeve, "Craters Pt.III" on inner. From liner notes: "The Tower Of Ping Pong is a chance to verify the idea of casual guitar, a practice which Nicotina has been involved in for quite a long time, combining written music and improvisation inside a loose concept of song. Casual guitar is a process that courts the "areas of ignorance of the player's conscience", a zig zag course between musical sediments which are nonetheless employed and stepped through." The Tower Of Ping Pong is dedicated with respect and admiration to John Fogerty.
