STONE TAPE – New LP by THE TELESCOPES Out soon on Yard Press
Dear friends,
we are glad to present to you Stone Tape, the new album by The Telescopes released on Yard Press, which inaugurates a series of record productions within a new art project dedicated to music.
The series, curated by Giandomenico Carpentieri, comes from the desire to create a series of records that are born and developed in close collaboration with the artists involved: the starting point is to create a concept album specially designed for Yard Press, within a free environment without creative limits, where the artists can experiment new solutions and propose the most experimental and conceptual projects that are then discussed and developed between artist and publisher through an exchange of ideas.
Stone Tape will be released on November 20th and pre-order starting October 20th: you can buy and order the album on www.yardpress.it
The presentation tour will start in January 2018. The first pressing comes as a limited edition of 500 copies.
Stone Tape is a concept album inspired by “Stone Tape Theory”, theorized by Thomas Charles Lethbridge in 1961. The archaeologist, parapsychologist and explorer developed the idea that inanimate materials can absorb energy from living beings, and that this mental electrical energy, released during emotional or traumatic events, could somehow be “stored” in such materials and “reproduced” under certain conditions.
The six songs comprised in the album have been written, produced, arranged and played by Stephen Lawrie, founder of The Telescopes.
The photograph in the album is by Achille Filipponi. The executive production of the series is by Leonardo Mancini.
