Reset / Rebis Periferiche
*2022 stock* For this release Massimo Magrini was joined by the Italian cyberzone-writer Tommaso Lisa. So the album was recorded using as conceptual reference Tom's "Italian Neuro-Poems" collection REBIS . Short spoken fragments of the texts are treated and inserted in a sonic structure built with minimal, strangely sincopated pseudo-rytmhs and sharp pulsing noises.The effect of those spcken texts is really disqieting, a very severe & obscure release , different from all previous Bad Sector albu…
