SIGNAL PRESSURE REVIEW
Before the ISN had language for “cursed media,” Circuito Notturno opened its catalog with a tape so sweaty, claustrophobic, and morally damp that projectionists warned each other not to play it alone.
La Casa delle Vene Aperte (“The House of Open Veins”) was composed for a micro-budget sex-horror giallo shot outside Rome in summer ’72 — a script dripping with bath-steam seduction, corridor voyeurism, and surgical violence. LAMIERA NERA treated it with zero irony. They scored it like a forbidden ritual staged in a locked bathroom.
The producers expected a Goblin-adjacent pulse. What they got was electro-perversion and hallway dread: Farfisa motifs that pant, dictaphone whispers that crawl across the stereo field, bedframe-mic foley that makes you complicit. Even without the lost film, the record plays like the house is turned on and hungry.
The tape circulated in the only way that made sense: hand-to-hand at midnight screenings and grindhouse booths. Rumors spread of a “moth-effect” — projectionists who screened it claimed their audiences stayed unnervingly silent, as if the score pinned everyone to their seats.
CN-001 wasn’t a calculated debut for Circuito Notturno. It was a contamination event. A line was drawn: this label would handle the films too obscene, too warped, too nocturnal for polite giallo.

EPILOGUE
La Casa delle Vene Aperte didn’t just kick off Circuito Notturno — it defined its perversion index. Too erotically charged for library music, too psychologically raw for commercial giallo, too damp and breathing for background playback.
The film rotted in obscurity, but its soundtrack survived as underground currency — traded for favors, reels, and projection slots. CN-001 remains the blueprint for the label: late-night, sweat-slick, ethically compromised audio cinema for people who prefer their horror without distance or clothing.
