CCC CNC NCN
Born in the fertile humus of the Turin anarchist punk scene of the 80s, CCC CNC NCN immediately opted for a political radicalism that resulted in high-impact sonic performances, during which the audience was emotionally and physically involved in the sonic and performative action.
Like the submarine Nautilus, which from Jules Verne's novel was taken as a symbol by the eponymous publishing collective with which they created their first concept album in symbiosis, over the decades of activity their actions/operations of cultural devastation have emerged from the unconscious of the industrial society against which they rebel, only to re-immerse themselves and then re-emerge again over time, many and infinite times.
Here we present the alpha and omega of the video production of this project which saw countless figures of Italian and international libertarian artistic extremism revolve around the figures of Oliver Ducasse and Bun'Hell'a PATerre.
The first video, Desertion!, from 1987, is the visual accompaniment, also used live, of the piece that will then become the opening piece with which they decline in an antimilitarist sense the album “Suicidio modo d'uso”, born as a hypothesis of soundtrack of the homonymous text by the French Guillon/Le Bonnec (Suicide mode d'emploi), re-edited in Italian by the Nautilus collective in 1988 and shortly after seized throughout Italy by the magistrate of Portici for incitement to suicide.
After populating the nightmares of alternative music lovers for over three decades (listen and read, for example, "Chi C'è C'è - Chi Non C'è - Non C'è" by Lindo Ferretti's CSI) with the analog sounds of a hose, drill, twisted metal, burning bins, and the sonic booms of various horns sounded simultaneously in Italian and international performances, our guys' latest album was supposed to be released in the early months of this year. Covid-19 put a halt to its physical production, and CCC CNC NCN, always exclusively inclined towards donations and no-copyright practices, have made it available in its entirety free of charge in digital form on their website.
Immediately after, inspired by the material and conscience crisis caused in the capital society by the virus, they created their latest song in smart-working and smart-mixing, a noisy electronic lullaby with which they soundtracked the video The Trains of March, their latest work which we are pleased to present here.
