A-Side

A Side is an Italian artist working within the conceptual framework of vinyl and cassette recording formats. Drawing inspiration from the technical and cultural distinctions between A-sides and B-sides, A Side explores how record labels and producers have historically prioritized certain recordings for promotion and commercial success, while relegating others to secondary status. Despite this intentional hierarchy, the artist's work acknowledges that some B-side recordings have achieved equal or greater prominence than their promoted counterparts, challenging conventional industry practices and assumptions about artistic value.
