Metrophony

TRS048 comes in two distinct versions.The deluxe limited version comes in an edition of just 75 copies. Included in each package is a set of hand silkscreened 6” square prints, that are renditions of the dark and moody photographs taken by Giannico in the Rome subway. Each of these 12 unique prints is printed on a different sort of paper… ancient ledger papers, music sheets, rice papers, antique vellum, cardboard etc. They come in a vintage, hand stamped, 7” 45rpm sleeve from a 60 year old vinyl binder. Each outer envelope is then tied up with a string, from which hangs a used ticket from the Rome metro system. Also included within the set of prints is a scrap of paper detritus from the stations and trains, and a factory pressed CD in a hand stamped cotton sleeve. This release is also available in a evocative digipak edition of 150 copies
