My Cat Is An Alien

**My Cat Is An Alien** is an avant-garde experimental duo formed by Italian brothers Roberto and Maurizio Opalio in Turin during the late 1990s. Known for their otherworldly soundscapes, the pair blends free improvisation, cosmic noise, and abstract electronics, often using unconventional instruments and DIY recording techniques. Their work feels like a collision of interstellar signals and raw, earthly dissonance, earning them a cult following in experimental music circles. Themes of existential wonder, cosmic spirituality, and humanity’s relationship with the universe ripple through their prolific discography, including releases like *Art Is a Tear of Noise and Infinite Silence* and *The Cosmological Eye Trilogy*.

Beyond music, the Opalio brothers are multidisciplinary artists—their projects often include visual art, poetry, and handmade packaging, reinforcing their deeply personal, DIY ethos. Titles like *Black Shadows from Jupiter* and *Il Suono Venuto Dallo Spazio* (“The Sound That Came From Space”) hint at their fascination with celestial mystery. While they’ve collaborated with artists like Thurston Moore and Jandek, My Cat Is An Alien remains fiercely independent, embodying a singular vision that’s as enigmatic as it is immersive.
