Going Towards the Wrong Island and Going Towards the Right Island features sound recordings made en route to the Aeolian Islands north of Sicily in search of "Anna" who disappeared from Michelangelo Antonioni's film L'Avventura. Recordings made of the outboard engine in 2003 (traveling to the "Wrong" island – Bottaro) and 2004 (traveling to the "Right" island – Lisca Bianca) were pressed at United Record Pressing (URP) in Nashville, Tennessee, via Tokyo, Japan. Cover image of Anna (Lea Massari) only comes into focus at distances further than 3 feet.
