The Rita became one of the most …

Recorded by Maurizio Bianchi as Sacher-Pelz, between October and November 1979, Venus is the second self-produced tape of 'musique concrète'. “The term “ concrète ” comes from the latin “concretum” which means ”condensed, hardened, coagulated”, and applying this concept to the sonorous framework, the final result is to obtain a dense, curdled, clotted sound in which every liquid particle has been transformed into a compact structure which evokes atavic dissonant fossilizations.
