Writer and artist Agata Kik wrote an amazing article about Deep Listening practice at Dronica #10 on CLOT Magazine.
“…During the festival, the church’s architecture accompanied each of the artists, who animated it through their performances. Causing even particles of stone to shiver, simultaneously solidifying the gaseous inner atmosphere, Dronica #10 was predominantly a time of transcendence. Ideas of the physical and the ephemeral, the ethereal and the material folded into each other and left one blind to their difference. The festival was, thus, a chance to learn that to know more does not only mean to see wider but to listen deeper, to use also skin to perceive…”

We are very proud to announce this release we co-produced with pseudomagica in result of a long-time collaboration. This is the third release of the Rome-based multidisciplinary publishing house.
‘N19 9ES – three years of Dronica’ is a self-produced photo-booklet and audio cd compilation, a tribute to the polymorphic, alternative art scene that has revolved around the festival for the past three years. The idea is to define this experience through Matteo Favero’s shots, accompanied by a selection of the music that lived through the walls of The Old Church, an Elizabethan building located in Stoke Newington, which hosted mostly of the past editions. N16 9ES is also and more importantly a passionate compendium that tells about our/your years of Dronica, a token of love that we dedicate to all of the artists who supported our efforts, to the crew that helped us with immense enthusiasm sacrificing their time and energy, and last but not least, to the public that nurtures and stimulates our researches.
We would like to thank all the artists and people involved and supported the festival during these three past years 
A special thanks to Ilia Rogatchevski.
‘N19 9ES – three years of Dronica’ will be available at Dronica #10 // 3-DAY Festival // 3 Years Anniversary this week as well as online:
https://n169es.bandcamp.com/releases
Audio compilation available on free download at the link below:
