Record/Vinyl + Digital Album
The artwork of this amazing 12" limited edition double vinyl combines the idea of male and female principles: through the music and its physical support - a turning disc - the two parts exchange their roles until the complete final blend: Tiresia's mythological experience.
In the various depictions of the disc, the two colours continuously change position therefore playing a similar crossover without actually moving.

about

«Ein schier unglaubliches Meisterwerk, das auch nach dem x-ten Hördurchlauf noch staunen hervorruft» - Kulturterrorismus

«This is an impressive experimental work featuring multiple sounds and noises. It all sounds like a sonic puzzle made of endless little pieces, which in the end create a compact sonic work» - Side-line

«Un truc de Suisses, inexplicable, transcendant et condamné à l'oubli. Chienne de vie» - Goute mes disques

«Una parabola sonora aliena » - Rockerilla

«Wow, das ist wirklich groß!» - Westzeit

«Vous voilà avertis. Les curieux et les dépravés peuvent tenter de se plonger dans cette œuvre dense et déconcertante, les traditionnalistes peuvent retourner gentiment à Status Quo ou aux Arctic Monkeys sans passer par la case Niton» - Music in Belgium

«L’infiniment petit tutoyant l’immensément grand, grattant à la porte des cieux pour y pénétrer sans bruit et fracas mais avec l’assurance de l’inusité. Magnétique» - SilenceAndSound

«Album impegnativo ma foriero di sorprese e soddisfazioni ad ogni passaggio» - Sentireascoltare

TIRESIAS
Tiresias is Niton's second album. It contains material collected and elaborated in little more than a year, fifteen months of intensive existential and poetic distress for each of the three members.
Compared to their first album, the communal musical attitude has evolved: the forms are more defined, the spaces are diluted, the sequence rhythmics have acquired more prominence, the instrumentation has amplified through new machines as for example the Theremin (the mellow glossy antenna) or the Memorymoog (the most powerful polyphonic synth).

Tiresia is greek mythological foreseer who lived for seven years of his life in the body of a woman. When Era – wife of Zeus – asked him whether sexual pleasures were stronger as a man or as woman, Tiresias replied without hesitation that if the pleasure of love was made up of ten parts, the woman would have nine and the man only one. Furiously she blinded him.
Tiresias is the only being to have incarnated the profound opposites. He experienced the unpleasant truth and told it. He overturned the the commonplace. Blinded, he saw beforehand the desert ruins of the human being.
These are the lands that Niton has recorded.

Niton is the documentation of a time and sound flow where three musicians meet and, other than talk, they play. The non verbal communication sees three different ways of analogic sounds converging together: classical strings, pre-digital keyboards and object material made into musical instruments. Three contrasting concepts of sound generation are combined into a flow of changing features: ambient, noise, experimentation, progressive and electronics are only some of the genres which emerge from the course of Niton.

This album is still the best example of the Italian underground experimental scene, as well as nailing the whole "Italian Occult Psychedelia" aesthetic. This has to be one of the most underrated albums of the 2010s. ALWAYSmusic

Phenomenal. Would love to hear more music like this, accessible and full of passion, but with experimental attitude and unpredictable structures. yintov
