Starting this month at Leporello’s we are inaugurating a new section dedicated to experimental music with xong collection!

This month we inaugurate a new section dedicated to experimental music with XONG, the series of artists’ records produced by Xing, by personalities – Italian and otherwise – linked to the varied world of performativity, and with the new volume published by Grani Edizioni, LUNGO I MARGINI DEL MONDO, by Gianluca Ceccarini and Nahid Rezashateri, in a special edition with the LP by the group DAMAVAND (Gianluca Ceccarini and Alessandro Ciccarelli, featuring Tetsuroh Konishi).

xong collection – artist records

In 2021 Xing launched a new project: a vinyl-only record label of works by both Italian and international personalities linked to the variegated worlds of live performativity. The collection explores a geography of artists who present this sonic field as a platform to expand their staged worlds. “The space of the record” is given focus and amplifies their poetics as both a sonic and physical phenomenon. The collection is entitled Xong. It is a unique project that draws out divergent understandings of the performative and live arts, beyond genre and intersecting between different practices. Xong collects a series of original creations that constitute an expanded program. Each physical record is a numbered edition on white vinyl hosting the solidification of the gesture. A wave upon wave, a series of “Music-Non-Music” to actualize both the artists and listeners imagination.
