Amazon thinks me and my husband are one person, but it also has a very specific idea of who we are and it is not wrong...

![Scans of an album review from Blow-Up Magazine, with the review overlapping the cover of issue #341. The review reads: RESISTENZA ALLA MANIPOLAZIONE MEDIATICA; Yann Novak; Discontinuity • DL Room40 • 9t-76:21; Dopo "Continuity" dello scorso anno non poteva non esserci questo "Discontinity". Alla malinconica riflessione sull'invadenza dei media e dell'IA, il musicista losangelino risponde con la sua personale forma di resistenza, quella di reclamare il proprio controllo attraverso un deliberato offuscamento. La musica fluida e ondeggiante, una ambient malinconica ma non dimessa, è il suo strumento per reinventarsi quanto viene propinato. Gli vengono in aiuto (pure loro manipolatori di manipolazioni) una serie di musicisti che remixano 3 brani del precedente disco (Lawrence English, Timothy Fairless, mHz, Geneva Skeen, Jonathan Snipes, lan Wellman), insieme decostruttori e riconfi-guratori. I titoli dei pezzi parlano chiaro: Metric of Caution, Context Collapse, Zones of Privacy. In aggiunta alcune versioni live.

![Scan of a review and the cover of Plow Up Magazine, the review reads: FIELD RECORDINGS DISTOPICI; Yann Novak; Continuity • DL Room40 • 3t-31:12; Partendo da 28 loop di registrazioni ambientali e suoni sintetici Novak costruisce 3 pezzi che vogliono essere una riflessione sulla manipolazione delle informazioni, soprattutto quando i mezzi tecnici a disposizioni sono molto potenti e raf-finati. Sullo sfondo ci stanno le questioni dell'uso dell'Al come strumento di controllo sociale visto come eterogenesi dei fini (William Gibson docet). Musicalmente ne esce una ambient pa-cata, vagamente inquietante, come una specie di colonna sonora per "2001 Odissea nello spa-zio" al rallentatore. Con l'esponenziale crescita del flusso di dati, vuoi vedere che la vera disto-pia si nasconde nella lentezza?
