MINISTRY OF LONELINESS
VINYL LAUNCH & LISTENING SESSION by Renato Grieco

MINISTRY OF LONELINESS THEME Renato Grieco & Rebecca Moccia is the result of a collaboration between composer Renato Grieco and artist Rebecca Moccia produced by Paint It Black together with Cripta747 on the occasion of Moccia’s exhibition The Loners curated by Elena Bray and Iacopo Prinetti.

“The vinyl sonically traces Moccia’s research into Loneliness and its Ministries, presenting the original music composed by Renato Grieco for the project. The audio tracks were composed using a degradation process involving burying a support, magnetic tape, previously edited by Grieco with sounds from acoustic and synthetic instruments. It’s a translation of the complex sensation of Loneliness sought through the tearing of sound. The vinyl, in its physical form, has been created by borrowing aesthetic elements from Moccia’s practice, from the thermic print impressed on the disk - an atmospheric representation of one of the places encountered by the artist in her research journey - to the sleeve - whose ceramic edition takes up the material used in the formalisation of her previous works, emphasizing the materiality and fragility of solitary bodies.”
