Hall of Mirrors

Hall of Mirrors is a dark-ambient/experimental music project founded by Andrea Marutti (Amon) and Giuseppe Verticchio (Nimh) in 2005, following a previous collaboration that resulted in the creation of "Sator" a CD credited to Amon and Nimh. In their first three CD releases, Hall of Mirrors used several collaborators, among which we remember Nefelheim, Subinterior, Andrea Ferraris, K11, New Risen Throne and Vestigial. On "When Only Shades Remain", released in 2018, Marutti and Verticchio decided to go alone. Hall of Mirrors combine typical Dark ambient sounds with ethnic-ritual elements, sometimes crossing over more 'noisy' territories, close to Industrial music, but also often developing Ambient and calmer atmospheres, even softly melodic. Their music has been released by Silentes, Eibon Records, Malignant and Kalpamantra.

Un'Estate Senza Pioggia
2006 release ** "Un'estate senza piogga is a charming, poetical and intuitive electronic rock album released by Matteo Uggeri with a few guest musicians and friends such as Andrea Marutti or Giuseppe Verticchio. The poetical operation explores memory traces and micro-events of the past that find a serene peace in the interior-nostalgic experiences of the self. The concrete-natural noisy sequences taken from the "cinema" of everyday life is manipulated by the imagination to create a sort of visio…
Whispers From The Ashes
2004 release ** "Ideally inspired by the Inquisition era, like some titles of the tracks may suggest, "Whispers from the Ashes" presents Nimh (Giuseppe Verticchio) and Nefelheim joined together for the production of a dark oriented CD that alternates obscure and haunting atmospheres with more gloomy and sometimes dramatic and highly evocative episodes... In a blend of low frequences, metallic sounds, echoes of distant voices and human screams, whispers, concrete noises, ritual processions, sudde…
Detrimental Dialogue
Tip! Andrea Marutti and Fausto Balbo met in 2005 at Lab12 in Vigevano; both active in music making since more than fifteen years, their friendship grown over the years on the fertile ground of the interest they share about electronic experimentation and their wide and open-minded listening habits. “Detrimental Dialogue”, their very first collaboration, deeply explores various types of analogue and digital synthesis (additive, subtractive, Physical Modeling, FM, Phase Distortion, Granular, etc.) …
Iron and Ice
*200 copies limited edition* After a good six years from Nimh's last solo CD of previously unreleased material (Circles of the Vain Prayers), and two years after his previous collaborative CD (Post-Folk Lore Vol.1), Giuseppe Verticchio is back, walking again on those same electronic paths strongly imbued with ethnic ritual suggestions and sonorities. The sound of string and wind instruments, metals and percussion instruments coming mainly from South-East Asian countries, combined with refined el…
Beyond the Crying Era
"Beyond the Crying Era is one massively immersive and entrancing score built on ominous, eerie soundscapes of darkly, grainy, and slowly moving elegance. Winter-Light is an indie label based in Netherlands and specializing in deep electronic soundscapes and any related genre coming from the shifting ambient music galaxy. They are active since 2014 and notably renowned for having released materials from Rapoon, Seetyca and Inner Vision Laboratory - clear veterans of dark drone textures and eerily…
Black Silences
"Newly launched independent label based in Italy Naked Lunch Records is another fine purveyor of now legendary industrial power electronic acts (Maurizio Bianchi…) and challenging contemporary artists in the field of abstract and noisy drone ambient. It sounds quite natural that Giuseppe Verticchio, mastermind of Nimh found a warm welcome there. With a quite singular, eclectic and dense musical production that goes from thrilling cinematic calmscapes, to ritualistic looped ambient and post-indus…
Travel Diary
"Travel Diary is the latest CD release from the multifaceted eerie droning project called Nimh. This last offering features pieces reissued from a previous CD-R called Lanna Memories with others sound materials and unreleased tracks. The musical content provides a colorful ethno-phonographic experience including a large corpus of micro-sounds taken from rituals of 'everyday life' among Eastern Thai regions and secular communities. Echoes from the Hills opens with a serene-poetical moody prelude …
The Unkept Secrets
"This is another perfect Nimh album, a world of magnetic, somnanbulic, fuzzing, moving electronic textures and drones covered by glacially melancholic guitar parts. These recent years there have been many descent projects published under the dark ambient - prog electronic label, but The Unkept Secrets is exceptional, reaching a degree of composition and complexity rarely obtained in this specific genre. Meridians opens the album with an intimate, colourful, extatic droning minimalist guitar comp…
The Missing Tapes
"In this project, Giuseppe Verticchio explores the universe of ritualistic, primal, shamanic acoustic drones and traditional music from the east. The result communicates us the ecstasy. This album summons the divine nature, it's a real musical ceremony, a chant of the origins. The acoustic, ritual elements are perfectly mixed with a solid industrial, noisy ambient base. Consequently this is a rather unique, very personal musical experience that can be collected by ethnomusicologists and fans of …
Subterranean Thoughts
"Subterranean Thoughts is an extremely intriguing experimental electronic album that finds the perfect equation between aesthetic of enlightenment and the production of cinematic sound textures. Subterranean Thoughts is a ravishing immersive experience, conjugating concrete elements with well established electronic treatments. Rewind is a dreamy-like, detached piece that dissolves tonal violinist stringed orchestration into a vast electronic abstract path (an obvious contrast between decadent in…
The Impossible Days
2004 release ** "This album reveals Giuseppe Verticchio’s incredible capacity to introduce us into an unique world of “concrete” sounds that sublimate the common nature. All compositions are means of communication. Concrete noises and electronic fequences are totally intertwined in an homogeneous spectral process. Lost signals features a minimal, obsessional synthesised micro-signal, endlessely repeated. It is progressively covered by moving, spherical electronic sequences, a cascade of natural …
