The title of the release is Remote Control, which has a double meaning of "control from a distance" and "tv switch", and even if it has maybe not exactly a political value, at least is a violent critic, a scorn to the TV media, especially to the Italian television.

Point 1 - The Format:
We'll publish, in collaboration with another Italian label, Palustre, a compilation in VHS tape format. The choice of this format in the mp3 digital era is related to the fact that 'old' musical support, like vinyl and magnetic tape, are becoming trendy and fashionable, at the point that some people buys LPs in spite of the fact that they don't have any turntable.

Point 2 - The Images:
The video track will consist in 45' of Italian television zapping, recorded in various moment of the week and the day (prime time, morning, Sunday afternoon, Saturday evening, deep night).

The Italian TV is one of the worst examples of "entertainment" and "information" in the whole  western world. It's mainly owned by a small group of persons that control the political and economic power. Mainstream and especially Government channels are conservative at the point that some of the presenters are the same of the late post Second World War period. The voice of opponents is relegated in night time or even outside this media.

Point 3 - The Music:
The soundtrack will be realized by artists in the field of noise/industrial/experimental music, in particular (but not necessarily) with those who has some interest in activism and conceptual art, like early industrial musicians. You can see the list above. We are contacting them one after the other, hoping that most of them will express their interest. Some are already our friends, some are well known and some are emerging.

Point 4 - The Packaging:
Like several today's labels voted to experimental or weird music, Moriremo Tutti Records and Palustre have as a common point a strong interest in inventing and making special packages for their releases. As we did together with the Der Einzige issue, MTR provides professional graphics and printed leaflet and Palustre designs and builts a hand-made envelope for the record. We're going to do something similar for this limited edition VHS release.

We're also considering other kind of publishing ways (from download to DVD) for the release.
