Villa Lontana Records is an independent record label which focuses on the production of new sounds, from electroacoustic to sonorous poetry and performance. The label is part of the curatorial program of Villa Lontana curated by Jo Melvin and Vittoria Bonifati.

The first LP to be released by Villa Lontana Records is 21-9-18 by Andrés Saenz de Sicilia. Saenz De Sicilia is a founding member of London-based trio Pataphysical who released their debut LP ‘Periphera’ with Glasgow based record label 12th Isle earlier this year.
This record is a documentation of the artist’s performance in the car garage of Villa Lontana on 21 September 2018. A Roman necropolis of more than 160 tombs dating back to the first half of the 1st century BC was recently rediscovered under the concrete garage. The sounds for 21-9-18 were built upon a quadrophonic sound system, designed to respond to the physical environment of Villa Lontana’s garage, later rendered to stereo by the artist for the production of this record. The sounds produced consider different senses of weight, density, and time and include a text-sound collaboration between Andrés Saenz de Sicilia and Adam Green, writer, artist and editor of The Public Domain Review.
