Maurizio Bianchi
Bianchi began to produce music in 1979, since 1980 using electronic equipment with the avowed goal "to produce technological sounds and in such a way to work on complete realising of the modern decadence". In the beginning, he published tapes under the alias Sacher-Pelz. Until 1984, Bianchi published on other labels intensively as either MB or simply Maurizio Bianchi, sometimes several albums and/or tapes per year, as well as numerous tracks to compilations. Bianchi became religious and withdrew himself from the music business. Much of his work is sought today by collectors, especially as they appeared in extremely small editions

Included in a poster cover (size 42x60 cm) containing the reproduction of 8 collages (size 21x21cm each)** "Maurizio Bianchi created Gene-X in the spring of 1980 as a 'sidereal' evolution of Gene-P. For long time this de-composition was lost in the artist's archives but, after the publication of several bootlegs, the original tape was finally rediscovered. With the help of Siegmar Fricke, the work was restored and is now brought to light in a official and defini…
The Sacral Inhabitat
**200 copies** "It begins. A slow mournful droning as if the very world itself is emitting a long low sigh of anguish. An anguished moan that rises and echoes into the vast subterranean chamber. Imperceptible and indistinct, a gentle tolling of bells emerge from the dark murky sonic abyss that is beginning to slowly unfurl around you. It’s almost as if this almost unobtrusive nebulous pealing of bells is the bell of Charon, sounding as he slowly approaches you on his rust coloured skiff. Upon th…

Decay Music n. 1: Besoch Trauma
Almost all great music is bridge - spanning geography and time, defying easy definition. It is the product of collaboration and mutual respect - individual voice, fused within a collective force. These are the roots for the trio Vértice, an unlikely formation by experimental luminaries, Maurizio Bianchi, Saverio Evangelista, and Juan Manuel Cidrón - each hailing from their own discrete musical geography in Italy and Spain. Devotion to sound and craft are the bonds which join. Milan based Die Sch…

Technology
Edition of 350 copies on black vinyl. The complete original double album on vinyl includes the 4 tracks from the original master tapes. The original tape from 1981 only included 2 tracks.

Computers S.p.A. / Com.SA
Released 2010 by At War With False Noise: Second in the At War series of early CD issues of tapes by noise legend Maurizio Bianchi. This has been a long time coming and I promise the next installment (Mectypo/Blut since you ask) won't take so long and should surface early next year. Both these albums are lofi, featuring very primitive use of synthesizer, tape loops and tape manipulation. There's a real charm and otherworldly feel to them, There's something very prescient about MB's explorations …
Der Abgrund
"Der Abgrund is the last act of an unsolved theorem which must remains the same. It's the arcane enchanter of a denied truth since mimesis of itself, as not manifested manifestation that nevertheless perseveres on its concept of form beyond the form. It's omnivalent hypostasis of a prismatic Maurizio Bianchi who is annulling himself and reinvents between a climate and the other without solution of continuity, today in symbiotic communion with Frequency In Cycles Per Second. "Der Abgrund" is an o…
Pharmelodies
A colossal and epic post-ambient symphony in three movements, where echoes of string instruments, deep drones of indecipherable origin, layered synthetic waves, slowed-down and distorted dark sonic masses challenge time with a para-immobility in constant turmoil, in an unpredictable, progressive and sometimes cyclic combination of statuesque sonic forms whose physiognomy is often known and familiar, while at the same time elusive, disturbing, arcane and mysterious... Another highest and unmissab…
Aktivitat
Considered a high-water mark of early industrial, Maurizio Bianchi Aktivitat went against the grain prevalent at the time; rather than pushing the boundaries of volume and pummeling rhythm (for example), the album goes for lo-fi murk, where dour restraint is the tool of depressive darkness.
Ynohpmys
This Italian electronics maestro seems to be still going strong after
around 30 years with his latest release. Opener 'Ortini' is like the
hazey recollection of a long train journey being put through an analogue
filter bank. 'The Inflammatory Sesor' has a kind of feeling of
nostalgia or distant memory that recalls William Basinski or The
Caretaker. 'Oigada' sounds like two decomposing tape loops slightly out
of sync creating a disorientating phasing effect. There are some very
…
Mental Machination Musing
This is the first release from Maurizio Bianchi for Red Light sound. In memory of Pierpaolo Zoppo (April 27th, 1963 / June 16th, 2012). "...whereas you do not know what your life will be tomorrow. For you are a mist appearing for a little while and then disappearing." (James 4:14)I am extremely grateful to Siegmar Fricke for his pharmacologic mixture of the sounds. Maurizio Bianchi
