Artist: BIANCHI, MAURIZIO Title: Antarctic Mosaic Format: CDR Label: Alga Marghen Country: Italy Price: $18.00 |
|
"Following the path opened by Frammenti, this new work represents the radicalization of the fragmentary approach in Maurizio Bianchis music. A musical composition resulting from the combination of various elements: Hetzian-waves, classical and electronic music. MB eagerly explores the immaculate spaces of the so-called frozen continent, the only one not contaminated by the human presence. The hostile surroundings and the prohibitive temperatures made the frozen paradise so stimulating and pure. Antarctica was an immense park frozen after the post-Flood events when unexpectedly and suddenly the temperatures felt of many centigrade degrees. This process is well emphasized in the Antartic track. On the other hand, in Mosaic the listener mind is projected into the future when, after the decontamination process of human presence on Earth, the frozen continent will become again a paradise. Again a strictly formal and structured work, two long and exhausting sound-collages made of little fragments, even more radical than his approach when MB was active under the name of Sacher-pelz. Also included is an excerpt from The Technological Nonsense, a text presenting the forthcoming book on Maurizio Bianchi activities soon to be issued by EEsT. As MB stated: Antarctic: sonorous infiltration in a deteriorated glacier and Mosaic: liquid resonances for asymmetric decodings. Are the glacial 1980s so far away? Available now in a CDR edition limited to 300 copies." - Alga Marghen.

Artist: BIANCHI, MAURIZIO Title: Cycles Format: CDR Label: Alga Marghen Country: Italy Price: $19.00 |
| "The terminal concept of Cycles is matured after the sharp Fragments and the Glacial Mosaics of MBs recent artistic reproduction, at the end of a triennial project, aiming to exacerbate the routine of prefab sound, the common and forgone sound created to be exclusively consumed by an amorphous and servile mass, sunken in a sullen entertainment. The approach here is totally new and the fragment is isolated and constantly repeated in order to build an aural minimal architecture. As MB states: Our whole existence is subordinated to intense and mathematical cycles, from the biological to the technological one, from the solar to the lunar one, from the historical to the legendary one. The cyclicity of the sonorous meanders of Cycles is, probably, the unique example of cyclic music. Particular and interatomic sonorous repercussions infinitely and distinctly repeating themselves, captured in a spectroscopy of atavic and coriaceous notes. And in the classic mood of the early 80s style, MB continues: The establishment will disagree. Such an experiment will be considered tedious and banal. What matters to me is not the ephemeral judgement of this sick and condemned reality. Finally the nine cycles included in this minimal work could be considered my appropriate epitaph. I have already entirely expressed my own artistic freedom and I wonder whether this might be nothig but the end of another cycle, in anxious expectation of the... eternal cycle. Due to the extreme nature of the material included, the reproduction of this edition has been limited to 200 copies only."- Alga Marghen |

This time the author concentrates on Time, or the inevitable. A sound counterpointistic journey beginning with the creation of the first human being, in autumn 4026 B.C.E. and passing through the two big planetary cataclysms. Then the individual experience of MB himself is investigated, a sort of electro-biography. The climax of this work is represented by the dramatic collaps describing the imminent destruction of todays society. MB explains that this is not an utopical perspective but those feelings rise from the Revelator of all the secrets, the One who knows the future in advance and all the connected events. The Creator of the majestic universe and the One to whom all of us will give account when the final war of Har-Maghedon will break up on 60.. A.M. Will there be any survivor then? Hopefully there will be among the listeners of this work who will delight their ears and fill their hearts with the compelling and intense emotional sounds of Dates ." - EEST. |

Artist: BIANCHI, MAURIZIO Title: First Day -- Last Day Format: CD Label: EEST Country: Italy Price: $17.00 |
| "One year has passed since MB/Maurizio Bianchi decided to come back to the music arena with his very personal new sound exploration. Conceived in the same direction of the previous CD titled Colori , this new work found its bases in the revaluation of the events the started the Creation, when an intelligent and complex act of sublime love started our physical universe off, transposing them in form of 8 electronic compositions elaborated in a 2 year work. A darker atmosphere marks the background sounds giving to the whole program a more obscure and less easy impression while the more melodic traces fluctuate without direction in an empty space. MB has always worked in a very direct way following his true inspiration; he has devoted his music to the sincere listeners who will now immerse themselves in these sound waves and in the sea of primordial sonorities. The connection to his past recordings is to be found in this attitude and a reference to these feelings was already existing in the early 1980s as reported in some interviews and statements soon to be included in the full documentation of ArcheoMB boxset 2 (not a reference to the specific religious themes but anyway a more general idea of spiritual collapse and chancing). What could be interesting is to notice this continuity and consider the past and present works as a whole. Of course with a huge formal difference in the material sound approach." - EEST. |

Artist: BIANCHI, MAURIZIO Title: Frammenti Format: CD Label: EEST Country: Italy Price: $17.50 |
| "Frammenti, i.e. fragments, is the new direction in Maurizio Bianchis music. An acoustic-bionic composition for electromagnetic waves and cyclic sonorities. Left now are all the indeterminate atmospheres gently fluctuating, in order to reach a more formal and structured work. Still dealing with the fragments of our memories made of joy and tribulations, sensations and awareness, aspirations and disappointments, with the carnal and the spiritual assistance. This new composition, quite as literally as the title suggests, consists of two long sound-collages reminding some of the techniques that MB was using in the late seventies under the name of Sacher-pelz. The music is not that brutal DIY intensity of analogic treatments, but more a digital version of nowadays oscillating clinic sonorities. As the author stated: "Those who will have the courage to listen to and investigate it, will remain mentally upright when confronted with the opposition of todays music -- which is so mechanical, hybrid, aseptic, narcotic, obsessive -- while in their heart nothing will be left but the principal fragment, which originated the sonorous universe: the sacredness of infinity!".

I was trying some experiments at my first approach on my new MS20 Korg synthesizer,
without any experience on it (because Im not a musician) and I pushed some button
by mistake and the sound came out only in a right channel." "The "UNTITLED 1980" tape is an old tape without title found

| "At the beginning of the metabolic year 1980, after Maurizio Bianchi finished the embryonal experience as Sacher-Pelz, he decided to undertake the concrete-synchronized course as M.B., a long-lived acronym that will accompany him along his next way of neuro-synthetic experimenter. His first ever release was the private cassette-tape entitled Metcpyo/Blut. An hematopoietic experiment decomposed during the months of March and beginning of April 1980 at Mectpyo Studio. Proposed here in its original layout, this 2LP set holds intact, at a distance of almost three decades, the epicenter of M.B. sonorous universe, projected towards an euphonic cacophony. Mectpyo/Blut consists of two tragic sections imbued with synthetic chloroform: the 1st, Maidanek Bakterium / Musique Belzec, exhales an icy atmosphere conveying a sense of mystery and annihilation. The 2nd, Mutant Brain / Mord Banhof assembled the most disparate electro-hypnotic levitations into a vertical rationality, bold, morbid and haunting. Psychic-cerebral works, they seem to spring from a neuro-atomic continent, with unreal outlines, where its influence artificially expands the ankylotic tissues by environmental arthrosis. Edition limited to 300 copies in full colour gatefold sleeve, reproducing various graphic materials from the original cassette edition. Attention: this is the real thing, top powerful and modern in its integral length (and not a meaningless edited excerpt as other inexperienced labels in demand would have cheaply proposed you!)." -Marquis.

"While producing the second ArcheoMB boxset (including the CD edition of 5 original M.B. LP records from the early 1980s: Das Testament; Endometrio; Carcinosi; The Plain Truth and Armaghedon), the documentation staff working on the Maurizio Bianchi reprint series came across a very strange and peculiar object. It was a private tape dating back from 1980, never mentioned in official discographies and given only to close friends (this copy actually coming from the archive of mail-artist Vittore Baroni). The music was introducing a unique approach in MB sound. It was soon evident that this tape marked the passage from the Sacher-pelz concrete techniques to the new M.B. universe; the loop brutal approach applied to poor & pure electronic sounds and concrete material, so typical in Sacher -pelzv projects (see full documenation presented in Mutation for a Continuity 4CD boxset), was here pushed to its extreme consequences and used to manipulate the soundtrack of the famous movie by Stanley Kubrick, A Clockwork Orange (it is whispered that some Kraftwerk records also suffered the same treatment, but evidences of this were never found). In the same days, M.B. also produced his first power electronic tapes titled Cold, Voyeur and the epic double C90 Mectpyo Blut which set the new orientation to all his following works. M.B. plays A Clockwork Orange was a unique moment in Maurizio Bianchi sonic researches and is made now available for the very first time; the first LP record by M.B. isued in about 20 years. Due to the specific kind of material reproduced it was decided with M.B. to issue these historical recordings in an edition limited to 300 copies only." - Marquis.

The first of the six tracks starts out with a nazi speech (not Adolf, but somebody else, I think Rudolf Hess, but identifying voices of nazi idiots is not my science) and quite quickly piercing electronics. Other nazi people also have their say. This could be MBs Weltanschauung record from a quarter of century ago. I believe he lost interest in this kind of stuff, hence me doubting the recentness of this release. But the fourth piece starts out really soft, and that is very unlike early 80s recordings, so perhaps this is recent?" - Vital Weekly.

"Have you ever looked into the abyss? Man, its scary! An infinite void of the blackest black where not even a gleam of light can escape its dark talons. Needless to say, its not the most popular destination, but hey, it is there. And believe me, sooner or later that day will come when you will sit on the cusp and fix your eyes on the vast nothingness that is everything. But until that hour beckons, you may as well prepare yourself by spinning Das Platinzeitalter by Maurizio Bianchi.
Dark ambient barely captures what is engraved in these grooves. Loops from the history of dust, ancient as the catacombs and spectral like the last rays of hope. Theres an eerie calmness to all four sides of this LP. Timeless and inevitable as the setting sun, as if this music has always been here. Which it has. It was up to Bianchi to find it. This recording captures the never-ending decay of beauty at the point when it is realized that resistance is futile and the metamorphosis has begun. There are not many musicians who can distill this essence: early Zoviet France, Nature Unveiled-era Current 93, Lustmord and Andrew Chalk/Mirror to name a few, but Das Platinzeitalter sounds like it comes from hallowed grounds, the once sacred is now profane. It forces your head to turn toward the abyss. Its up to you to open your eyes and look.
Then the next thing you know, its over. Its all over. �??Dennis Yudt. Screenprinting faithfully reproducing original CD art by Seizure Palace, Portland, OR.

"M.B., aka Maurizio Bianchi, has enjoyed a deserved renaissance in recent times as a new generation discovers his charred brand of industrial noise, particularly the artists formative early 80s period before he disappeared in pursuit of religion. In the ensuing years, many of these early records became prized collector objects, garnering hundreds of dollars -- if they could even be found. Bianchi has since returned to creating music and many of those pricey releases have been re-issued on vinyl except for whats widely considered to be his seminal work from that time, Symphony for a Genocide. Weird Forest is proud to rectify this situation. To the uninitiated, Symphony may sound like so much noise with its unyielding factory-of-death buzzsaw sound making Throbbing Gristles industrial music almost top-40 by comparison. But buried underneath the unrelenting martial rhythms and analog siren sounds is a great deal of musicality, including synth melodies and basic chord progressions. Bianchi uses all these elements at his disposal to create a gripping audio portrait of the grim subject matter. Re-issue is strictly limited to 500 copies and is a near-exact reproduction of the original Sterile Records release, including hand-stamped labels and inserts just like the 1981 issue." -Weird Forest
