Maurizio Bianchi

This is the second collaborative album from Maurizio Bianchi and Siegmar Fricke following their Muitnelis disc, which I have yet to actually hear. Stroma-Konkret is a pretty heavy slab of minimal industrial though. The disc comes from the Russian industrial/ambient label Monochrome Vision, and like other releases from the label, the disc is packaged with black and white artwork and includes liner notes on the artists and the music contained inside. According to the liner notes, this album…

First issued as a limited private tape in 1981.2010 re-issue of 500 copies on Kubitsuri Tapes (Japan).

The Italian sound experimentalist/ industrialist Maurizio Bianchi/M.B. needing not any introduction comes here reissued. "NH/HN" is one of M.B.'s earliest tapes, recorded and released back in September 1980. Not to be confused with the "Nervo/Hydra" tape (1981) which was ilegally reissued by several labels which wrongly entitled them as this one. Synthesizers, radio transmissions, concrete noises and weird vocals are the elements used on this recording by M.B to create a parallel reality …

The brand new release of  Maurizio Bianchi (M.B.). Similar to his early experimental bionic – industrial masterpiece like The Plain Truth, Armaghedon, Endometrio and Carcinosi, this album presents eight decomposed tracks with slow, obscure and meditative music… Cold atmospheres and reverberating piano… Really one of Maurizio Bianchi best work to date!!! Dedicated to all the meditative people who is living in the environmental paradise.

Here at last is a deserved and “rightful” CD re-release of this fantastic collaboration created in 2007 by Maurizio Bianchi and Craig Hilton. Until now this recording was only made available in a very limited CD-R edition. Extremely dark atmospheres, restless and dramatic… Sharp masses of metallic noises cleave pulsating substrates of low frequencies, mixed with magmatic agglomerates of more processed sounds of an unrecognizable nature… Moments of stasis and apparent quietness… Handfuls of…

Storms of cosmic energy, boiling and gurgling electronic fluxes, sonic masses made of monolithic and impenetrable drones, visions of smoky afterdeath landscapes, scorching and infernal… A neverending tunnel with no way out, a sense of deep anguish, of desolation and resigned impotence that lead the dark journey from the beginning to the end of this hallucinatory path. The sound quality and the sharpness of details are absolutely insuperable, they will offer you a “wrapping” and emotionall…

Crashing, cascading sounds, like thunderous storms. A perfect example of industrial droning ambient. Releasing collaborations since 2006 this is the 5th work they've done together. An amazing album consisting of two long tracks dealing with Drone and Dark Ambient/ Noise.

After the disintegrative period of my production (from “Symphony for a Genocide” to “Das Testament”), the purchase of a misanthropic echo-machine and the consequent decay of the electric-analogue machinery, my efforts was redirected to a pre-recording sound sublimation, so I started to re-compose the electronic metastasis of early times, filtering through dehumanizing effects of the echo-machine, keeping attention particularly to the explanatory process of my ancestral subjectivism. - facts:the …

A true experimental music classic by Maurizio Bianchi, originally released as private cassette in early 80's and then later bootleged on tape. This is the very first official re-release on CD of this incredible sound-material!!! This is the most intense M.B.: raw and experimental! Released on 1:1 high quality new generation CDr -> same quality and 99% same 'look' of a glass mastered CD. Digislim package.

2012 release ** Decomposed between the 1981 and the 1982. Originally titled Genocidio 20 and self-released on cassette in the 1980s.

On a mission to bring again the best works of the Italian Industrial acts of the 80s and 90s to the light, Officina Fonografica Italiana offers its first release in the form of a CD reissue of the historic "Armaghedon" by Maurizio Bianchi. Originally released on vinyl in 1984 by the author, this album has longly been his last work before his return to music in the late 90s. Conceived as a soundtrack for a movie by Bianchi himself - unfortunately never finished and now lost - "Armaghedon" is a co…

2012 release ** The legendary M.B. / Maurizio Bianchi and the vulcanic Andrea Ics Ferraris team up for a special collaboration titled Vir-Uz. Their symbiosis has generated deep and intimate tracks around the biblical figure of Job, as you can read inside CD’s notes: “A salutary protagonist existed in proved real life with his disorientating trials at the lewd hands of Satan, his captious discussion with false friends on the origin and nature of his terrifying accidents, and finally a wise respon…

Lost and found all of a sudden, this album is the exploration made with the chanting voices of unknown nature. Choral fragments were decomposed and restructured, arranged with the effects and atmospheric shifts, creating the mysterious soundtrack to the otherworldly ceremony. These echoing voices are going directly from the lost memory or the daydreams, nobody can tell you where they are from, where they are calling you. Here are some words of the author, giving you just the hint but not t…

Lovely early MB archival material recorded and issued as private editions between May and August 1980. Limited numbered edition of 211 copies in professional box, with a 12 pages booklet with reproductions of original tapes covers, a note and new collages by M.B. Destroyed time capsules. Ancient loops of faded music become an hypnotic wall of infectious sounds. If you are willling enough you could get lost in this world made of cold and dreamy distant memories.

A colossal and epic post-ambient symphony in three movements, where echoes of string instruments, deep drones of indecipherable origin, layered synthetic waves, slowed-down and distorted dark sonic masses challenge time with a para-immobility in constant turmoil, in an unpredictable, progressive and sometimes cyclic combination of statuesque sonic forms whose physiognomy is often known and familiar, while at the same time elusive, disturbing, arcane and mysterious... Another highest and …

Originally issued as a private LP in an edition of 400 copies in 1983. De-composition for bionic organisms and concrete sounds. A sound that refuses both the cold logic of the fetish electronic computer-man-of-the-year and the sterile exasperation of the negative. A sound that dilutes and coagulates, eluding the listeners with minimal variations that make the cyclic style of Phillip Glass resemble a carousel of colors. This CD also features two untitled tracks first issued on compilation …

Another classic album reissued by Phage Tapes and R.O.N.F. Records. An early work of Maurizio Bianchi recorded at Mectpyo Studio in 1981 and originally released by Banned Productions (US) back in 1992 as a vinyl LP. CD packaged in beautiful 5 colour screen printed arigato packs. 2 tracks totalling. 50 minutes in length. Limited edition of 300 copies. As with any early 80’s Bianchi this comes highly recommended.

2011 release ** "In August 2010, Maurizio Bianchi officially announced his retirement from musical scene. "Apokalypsis XXIII" is his last ever electronic music album, recorded in Summer of 2010. All the latest albums appeared after that are in fact re-issues of older works or the collaborations with other artists using his sound sources. Like other solo albums of Maurizio Bianchi, "Apokalypsis XXIII" has religious roots and consists of four long tracks, each of those divided into further section…

Working with the same source material, sound artists Maurizio Bianchi & Francisco Lopez create individual works produced from the impartial de-oxidation of sonorous carbon-containing modular compounds. "'KRMN-FL' and 'KRMN-MB' were both created with the same original source materials, jointly created by Maurizio Bianchi and Francisco Lopez.""Produced from the partial oxidation of carbon-containing compounds, carbon monoxide is a highly toxic gas and has no odor or color. It is the most common ty…

Mirror Tapes present a stunning issue of unreleased, archival work from notorious electronic noise pioneer, Maurizio Bianchi. 'Technology-X' was salvaged from tapes dating to 1981 and carefully restored and remastered for cassette by Edward Sol of Quasi Pop records, faithfully representing MB's crushing dynamics and incredibly visceral textures.

Previously unreleased private cassette from February 1981 containing sound sketches to shape the future 'Endometrio'. While the 'EMO-DNE' track bears some basic resemblances with Endometrio's 'Primo Ciclo', the 'OIRT' track sounds significantly different in the labyrinth of MB's creative processes. The flaws and distresses of the original tape give intriguing textures and details to the recordings which stand well on their own beyond being 'Endometrio' in embryonic form, and towards much …

A "classic" minimal ambient album; just one long track, a bit obscure, of a static nature but unarrestable as a matter of fact and slowly developing, built with layers of soft and “round” sounds, heavily processed and effected, whose origin seems to be an organ... "Atypical" for sure, if confrontated with the huge and widely diversified productions of Maurizio Bianchi, this new album is probably one of the last and not to be missed releases signed by “M.B.”, since he has already announced his de…

Reissue of a February 1980 decomposition (M.B. skippin' up the film's original soundtrack) from the Italian industrial forereunner. Halting tape cut-ups of the classical score from Kubirick's film. One of the strangest M.B. recordings!

a lovely project by Silentes records, a series of 26 cassette tapes centered around the interpretation on silent sound....Each tape is associated with a letter of the alphabet. Each letter is associated with an artist Each letter gives birth to an unwanted word The music is the artist's personal vision of silence 26 tapes by 26 italian acts. Each tape is hand numbered and limited to 100 copies. And the "M" letter is dedicated to Maurizio Bianchi aka MB, italian pioneer of noise music, orig…

'Gene P' was released as a cassette in 1980, and among the true Bianchi devotees old = best.On the first track (both tracks are untitled) Bianchi uses tape-loops of what could vaguely sound like gamelan music, or wind chimes. Its music with not many changes, music that is not loud and actually quite pleasing.The other side is more experimental. It uses vinyl, scratchy vinyl that is, with the needle jumping all over the place. Its a bit much experiment for the sake of experiment for me here. A mo…

First ever vinyl reissue of the highly coveted classic LP by Italian noise composer Maurizio Bianchi.  Originally released in an extremely limited quanity in 1983, Endometrio showcased M.B. at his most crucial turning point, delving into the uncharted waters he aptly titled ‘bionic music’, blending organic electronics with contorted sounds of the human body to compose one of the most interesting ambient records to date.copies of the original lp are practically non-existent and hard to co…

Limited edition of 300 copies on black vinyl with pro printed..glued glossy covers and full colour inserts. The LP features new and exclusive tracks from industrial legend Maurizio Bianchi and Cris X. Truly dark and deeply experimental "Isolated in a fully aware immobility, the dramatic intensity of this unhealthy and plain sonorous document, provides peculiar experimental characteristics connected with animated views of a post-modern technology converging into a modulated transportation of coll…

A cornerstone of Italian industrial music, Mectpyo / Blut by Maurizio Bianchi is a double album of bleak, medical-grade electronics, echoing the dystopian visions of Whitehouse, SPK, and NWW.

Bianchi began to produce music in 1979, at the peak of the industrial scene since 1980 using electronic equipment with the avowed goal 'to produce technological sounds and in such a way to work on complete realizing of the modern decadence,' but his works harked back to the musique concrete of the 1950s. This LP is a return to his early work. Maurizio Bianchi/M.B.: archaic waves, ancient loops, primitive electronics.

2008 release ** "Maurizio Bianchi is more than a legend in contemporary electronica, he is beyond good and evil by now in what respects to creative effort, he has surpassed all genres and styles, has reinvented and deconstructed himself, has even recessed from doing music during years and has come back again fresh and rejuvenated. With a vast discography and extensive musical career as sound sculptor and textural colonizer Bianchi is more alive than ever. “Innervation” released by the excellent …

2007 release ** Limited edition of 199 hand numbered copies with unique paste-on covers plus 16-page A5 booklet. "Together with Museo Della Tortura (although the cover just says M.B. + M.D.T.) Maurizio Bianchi made seven tracks, 'psalmodian', which on the cover is explained as an 'experimental way how to interpret the psalms'. All pieces are about psalm 63, which is when King David was alone in the desert and God was still with him. This desolation is captured quite well in the music. Sometimes …

Italians Maurizio Bianchi and Emanuela De Angelis have a generation between them, but that does not prevent them from delivering their first collaboration entitled "Regolelettroniche".However, to get there, they had to agree on a few rules, alluded to in titles such as "Earthly Principle" and "Cosmic Norms", and through these "rulelectronics" credited to both of them.That being said, these rules are left unexplained; listeners can discover them on their own when they experience this drone-based …

2006 release ** "Aided by musician M.D.T. (aka the Museum of Torture), this time leaving Maurizio Bianchi concessions acoustic Antarctic Mosaic and MI Nheem Alysm (where an upright piano hammers for 10 minutes a tether claustrophobic) to resume the speech sound historical works as Symphony For A Genocide (grazed in the title) and Regel. If the departure (Departure) aligns with the hordes of former electronics student Merzbow, in pieces like Return or Arrival distortion is channeled into a world …

Primordial sounds created by Maurizio Bianchi/M. B. using a rudimental five strings guitar, afterwards polarized effects added by Siegmar Fricke utilizing a shapeless analogtronic apparatus. CD-R in half handmade 3 panels digipack

Collaboration between Maurizio Bianchi and Saverio Evangelista, planned for 2006 and released in Japan in April 2007 on Gift and Artecnico, in an embossed gatefold sleeve with poster and obi.

The fact that Maurizio Bianchi is back is something that is known. I think the new age muzak he created right after his return should be seen as a false start, as since quite some time now, he returned to the world of noise and that is a territory that we can safely call his territory. Bianchi here teams up with one Maor Appelbaum, who is a member of various Israeli project such Poochlatz, Vultures, IWR and who has various solo projects Screening , Vectorscope and Plated Steel – not that I heard…

2007 release ** "Electrostatic Deflection" is a new industrial-music masterwork, created through collaboration with Maurizio Bianchi, and Israeli musician Maor Appelbaum. It's represents Bianchi's more extreme direction... a sample of whats comming in the future from the historic Italian composer. Amazing impact, immense slabs of industrial sound in motion. Sweeping vistas of intense static energy, storm-fronts moving across the stereo field, an acoustic tidal wave approaching landfall, breathta…

"For whatever reason I am not entirely sure of Maurizio Bianchi hooked up with Siegmar Fricke a lot since he returned to recording new music again. Fricke always seems to have something to do with the music of Bianchi, whether or not it is a collaboration, mastering, mixing or post production. Here on 'Makrokosmikro' its a collaboration with Bianchi getting credit for 'macrowaves, cosmotronics, microloops' and Fricke for 'mactronics, cosmodulations, microblending', which I am sure they have had …

This is probably one of  the most clinical releases of Maurizio Bianchi's current discography. Together with Siegmar Fricke from Germany four very complex soundscapes have been produced that on the one hand show similarities and relations in sound to Maurizio’s early releases and on the other hand enter new territorities of clinical sound-excursions. The four long tracks contain metallurgic ambiences, painful postoperative distortions, quiet endoscopic sections and pulsating, radiant elect…

A very rare electronic-experimental minidisk by Maurizio Bianchi.
