</U></FONT>Antonello Matarazzo is painter and videomaker.<BR>
He worked at the the Bellini Theatre in Catania (Italy) as assistant director and costume designer. Since 1990 he's engaged in his personal search concerning the visual arts, meanwhile his short studying-stays in U.S. His work takes place in the most recent tendency called “Medialismo”. His first short film, “The Fable” (2000), is selected to 18th Bellaria Film Festival, then produced and broadcast by Rai 3. In 2002 he makes his first medium film, “Astrolìte” (co-direction C.M. Schirinzi) starring film critic enrico ghezzi (20th Torino Film Festival). Some universities such as Brera, Genova and Salerno University have showed his short films with didactic purposes. According to the artist's method, virtual pictures placed next to each other via morphing, are often intended to mix arts up, showing interconnections between aesthetics and real life.<BR>

next release: Ether<BR>
<BR>
Project E<I>ther </I>originates from the collaboration of two characters, A<I>ndrea Bracali </I>a.k.a. C<I>ou </I>and A<I>ndrea Masi </I>a.k.a. K<I>.Uze.<BR>
Ether</I> can be described as the result of a long research on contamination aimed to break down every barrier of kind or musical sector: it is thus formed a complete and complex structured mixture aimed to satisfy the listener.<BR>
<I>Ethe</I>r's knowledge of music, gained through the instrumental experience and by playing live in a number of Florentine musical projects, binds the art of programming and sampling in order to become <I>"Tree of Porphyr</I>y", their first product.<BR>
In January 2002 they won a competition insid<I>e Arezzo Wave Festiv</I>al, followed by several live performances all around Italy and contributions to radio programs. They also have been included on the<I> "Magic B</I>us" compilation with the track<I> "Nenuph</I>ar", to represent electronic music.<BR>
Their live sets often feature live visual experiments from excellent italian VJs such <I>as Softly.Kicki</I>ng from Turin.<BR>
Along w<I>ith Softly.Kic</I>king <I>and Submultim</I>edia VJs from Rome they created their first video clip for the tra<I>ck "Don't Taste My Cappuc</I>cino" (an extract from t<I>he "Tree of Porp</I>hyry" album), which was already featured on t<I>he "Electrowav</I>e_02" compilation released<I> by Ondanomala Rec</I>ords label. The video has also been shown on <I>the V</I>IVA music TV channel.<BR>
During 2002 they took part to <I>the "Docks D</I>e Sud" Festival in Marseille as representatives of italian electronic mu<I>sic.<BR>
</I>Ether's second video c<I>lip, "Robo</I>t Zero", was ma<I>de by </I>R.A.M. from Bologna. This team had already won<I> the "Jury's Special</I> Award" at the 4th editio<I>n of "Premio Videoclip Indipe</I>ndente" during<I> the "Meeting of Independent </I>Labe<I>ls". "Robo</I>t Zero" was chos<I>en by Fandango Produ</I>ctions for<I> the "Videoclipped the Radi</I>o Star" competition.<BR>
In 2003 they released a soundtrack for the docume<I>ntary "Nun</I>ca Mais" dedicated to the Galicia disaster made by the Prestige oil ta<I>nker. "Atelier Distri</I>buzioni" produced it.<BR>
This documentary took part to many events s<I>uch as "Moltitudini e So</I>litudini"<I> at the Modern Art Museum of</I> Bolzano and has receiv<I>ed the "Special Menti</I>on Award" by the <I>jury of Cineambiente Festi</I>val 2003 in Turin.<BR>
<I>In J</I>uly Ether returned to play live together again al<I>ong with Softl</I>y.Kicking vi<I>suals at Arezzo </I>Wave 2003 du<I>ring the Elettro</I>wave_Labs event.<BR>
Their n<I>ew track "</I>Synt Ethic" was release<I>d on the "Elettr</I>owave 2003" compilation as a preview of their new upcoming al<I>bum under Ondanoma</I>la Records.<BR>
December saw the release of their<I> remix of "In My S</I>oul K<I>ingdom" by Ca</I>sino<I> Royale on Royal</I>ity Records.<BR>
During 2003, the two DJs felt the need to expand their music research towards new experiments. Something d<I>iffer</I>ent to Ether’s minimal atmosphere, so they gave birth to a new pr<I>oject named T</I>in-Tole-Lata<I>.<BR>
Under the </I>Tin-Tole-L<I>ata</I> mo<I>niker</I>, Cou & K.Uze create a new and more ironic sound with a vintage, electro and more dance orien<I>ted flavour.<BR>
</I>Tin-Tole-Lata self produced a demo that has received excellent reviews and comments and raised the interest of the well-known english<I> record la</I>bel AI Records, that in<I>cluded t</I>heir "Hue <I>Song" o</I>n the "Station" compilation.<BR>
During this period a young talented DJ / producer from <I>Flor</I>ence n<I>amed </I>B<I>iga join Ethe</I>r/Tin-Tole-Lata giving a new fresher sound and creativity to the band.<BR>
Their firs<I>t EP, entitl</I>ed "Quasi Quasar" was released <I>in late 2004 on Persist</I>ence Bit Records.<BR>
