Onga / Boring Machines @boredmachine.bsky.social · 12/04/2025Ten years ago, we released this monumental double LP of haunting, cinematic blend that feels like a soundtrack to an imagined dystopian Western.

Onga / Boring Machines @boredmachine.bsky.social · 17/02/2025"Sequenze di Fabbrica" by Adriano Zanni depict the factory’s geometric solitude, stripped of rhetorical grandeur, veiled in melancholic silence. The ANIC plant required 60,000 tonnes of steel, an equal amount of cement, reshaping the region’s identity. t.co/TjKYFy9ySY 020
Onga / Boring Machines @boredmachine.bsky.social · 25/01/2025The ANIC plant’s construction in Ravenna sacrificed hectares of pine forest, a dam on the Reno River, and reshaped the coastal skyline forever. By 1971, the ANIC complex was a “second city” with 4,000 workers, internal roads, and warehouses, expanding until 1981. 020
Onga / Boring Machines @boredmachine.bsky.social · 08/01/2025The poetic contrast between pine forests and industrial chimneys reflects Ravenna’s struggle between nostalgia and progress. Nostalgic memories of pine resin and coastal beauty were replaced by the sharp scents of ammonia and petroleum in Ravenna. 020
Onga / Boring Machines @boredmachine.bsky.social · 02/01/2025The workers of ANIC were seen as “pioneers,” building factories on reclaimed marshland, likened to modern medieval towers. The transformation of Ravenna’s coastal skyline included steel islands, offshore platforms, and towering industrial structures. 010
Onga / Boring Machines @boredmachine.bsky.social · 28/12/2024In Red Desert (1964), Antonioni portrays an alien beauty in the industrial world, where factories become more fascinating than a row of trees seen too often. 010
Onga / Boring Machines @boredmachine.bsky.social · 26/12/2024The accompanying soundtrack, integrate fragments of dialogue from Michelangelo Antonioni's "Red Desert", further intensifying the theme of alienation and detachment. Zanni’s compositions recontextualize Antonioni’s melancholic vision, creating a bridge between the past and the present. 020
Onga / Boring Machines @boredmachine.bsky.social · 26/12/2024"Sequenze di Fabbrica" explores the transformation of Ravenna, following the construction of the ANIC petrochemical plant in 1958. Adriano Zanni, have documented this transformation, portraying the melancholic beauty of the industrial structures and their integration into Ravenna’s identity. 010
Onga / Boring Machines @boredmachine.bsky.social · 23/12/2024Shipping day for "Sequenze di Fabbrica", the new book from Adriano Zanni. 000
Onga / Boring Machines @boredmachine.bsky.social · 19/12/2024In 1964 Michelangelo Antonioni shot his first color film "Il Deserto Rosso" (Leone d'Oro at Venice Film Festival) inside and around the huge assembly of petro-chemical factories in the outskirts of Ravenna, known at that time as ANIC. Adriano Zanni was born in 1964 in Ravenna. 340
