He describes “Submerged Turntables” on his website and I don’t want distort it with my interpretations. There will be a time when all tracings of human culture will dissolve back […]

L’idea è quella di dare un po’ di spazio alle realtà “locali” che più mi hanno colpito e in minor parte a ciò che arriva dall’estero. ______________________________________________________________________________ Terzo suggerimento di Diggin’ dedicato a […]
