Jealousy Party is one of the most significant creative music units in Italy, and the major act in the Burp Enterprise collective. The Florence- based ensemble, even though its members are spread all around the planet, is active since 1995.

The merging of a vivid live performance with self-recycling through the spontaneous use of playback devices has become one of Jealousy Party’s most crucial trademarks.
For this album, Berlin based artist/ composer Nicolas Wiese has joined the trio in a studio recording session, followed by a casual stereo recorded meeting in Pogo’s living room. His main part however, would begin after the recording sessions. In his studio, he takes apart and re-configurates mostly everything played, but with a clear focus on maintaining the JP characteristics of expression.

The production and mixing process took a couple of years.
The result are four dense tracks, in which Wiese’s radical treatment expands idiosyncratic JP sound in surprising areas of syncretism.
