K11, Pietro Riparbelli, Philippe Petit

2010 release ** "Truly intriguing is the fusion of intent between Pietro Riparbelli (K11, Radical Matters) and Philippe Petit (Bip_HOp, Strings of Consciousness) who develop three pieces of menacing and dense dark ambient that bring to mind the best releases by Lustmord and Nurse With Wound. As mentioned, "The Haunting Triptych" is divided into three parts and each of them appears as a work plan interlocked with the others but arranged on a different angle. "Residual Spookiness" has the merit of introducing the project and accustoming the listener to the wild drones of the couple but it is "Shadow Creatures" and "Doppleganger Presence" that amaze for their ability to penetrate our confused soul and leave an indelible mark on the subconscious. The advice I feel like giving to Boring Machines is to strongly insist on this collaboration and convince the two artists to work together again. The results could be truly exciting despite the approach to certain records not being the simplest."
