Homestudio Rituals
*200 copies limited edition* Focussing more on the atmospheric-ambient-drone side of the moon, Spielerei presents seven moving soundscapes, all composed, performed, recorded and finally mixed in the cozy environment of the artist living room studio, where sacred rituals of black coffee, love & peace and musical creativity are cherished.
In & Out The Confort Zone
*200 copies limited edition* "Listening from the 80’s to Ambient explorations in the form of IDM, Minimal Techno and other more experimental Glitch, Clicks & Cuts styles and its creative, playful use of rhythmical structures and sounds, inspired me to take a step out of my musical comfort zone into more beat driven area’s and so, I bought myself a MPC Key 37 and overwhelmingly started hitting the pads, pressing the keys, twisting the knobs, in attempt to let my musical history repeat itself with…
Frequencies In The Fog
Sound trails, minimal structures built with pads, discreet electronic elements, slow, deep and enveloping bass lines, backgrounds of confused voices treated in reverse, circular movements alternating with liquid stasis and quiet... Creaks on layered sound substrates of indecipherable nature, which seem to emerge from a thick blanket of fog that reveals fragments of real landscapes here and there, ready to disappear from view again after a few moments, once more hidden by clouds of steam in const…
Grotto of the Sun
Winding through cavernous and dark meanders, amid gurgling water, rustling sounds, low and deep pulsations, incisive and impactful sound masses, floating waves, crystalline drips, sudden rays of light, electronic spirals, and unexpected openings onto almost soothing soundscapes and quiet environmental stasis, Rod Modell paints musical textures that are apparently abstract and contemplative, but in reality charged with pathos and drama, taking advantage of a spectacular, enveloping and surprising…
Atomique Tape
Edition of 101 copies. Recorded in June 1980 and self-issued the same year on cassette, Atomique Tape belongs to the legendary first wave of releases under the MB name, the moniker Maurizio Bianchi adopted that spring after closing his earlier project Sacher-Pelz. Across roughly twelve months, working from his home in the Mantuan town of Pomponesco, Bianchi produced an extraordinary run of self-released tapes that would, almost immediately, place him at the centre of the international industrial…
Cold Tape
101 Copies. Recorded in the autumn of 1980 and originally issued the same year on Andrew Cox's YHR Tapes in the United Kingdom, Cold Tape marks the moment Maurizio Bianchi's music first crossed the Channel into the British industrial underground. After a feverish run of self-released cassettes that spring and summer under the MB name, working from his home in the Mantuan town of Pomponesco, Bianchi entered into correspondence with the small network of European cassette imprints that had begun to…
Industrial tape
This is where it begins. Recorded in May 1980 and self-released the same year as catalogue number 01, Industrial Tape is the founding document of the MB project, the first cassette Maurizio Bianchi issued under his new name after closing the Sacher-Pelz chapter. Working alone in his home in the Mantuan town of Pomponesco, twenty-four years old, equipped with little more than an analogue synthesiser, a tape machine, and a small bank of effects, Bianchi laid down four pieces that would set in moti…
Voyeur Tape
101 Copies. Recorded in July 1980 and issued shortly thereafter on Andrew Cox's YHR Tapes with the catalogue number YHR 005, Voyeur Tape was the first MB cassette to cross the Channel into the British industrial underground, preceding by a matter of months its companion Cold Tape, which would follow on the same imprint as YHR 006 before year's end. Together the pair formed Maurizio Bianchi's decisive entry into the small mail-order network through which European industrial music was circulating …

No Peace, No Love (Book + CD)
*Please note that the book part of this edition is available in Italian language only.* "I first listened to Crass in the late summer of 1979: a friend, just back from a trip to London, had brought me a newly released record, "Stations of the Crass", as a present. I had already read about them somewhere, perhaps because of a censorship issue they were involved in, but I had never really heard of them. That was their second album, and it ended up substituting for a long time, to the indignation o…
