Maurizio Bianchi, born in Milan in 1955, built the sound of Italian industrial music with a tape recorder and a few electronic boxes. He started in 1979 under the name Sacher-Pelz, then as MB released a stream of cassettes and albums, among them Symphony for a Genocide (1981), cold, slow, grinding pieces that later noise and dark ambient musicians took as a starting point. In 1984 he became religious and stopped completely.

A new double cd from Silentes, containing soundworks by 'Chaotische Fraktale' and 'Letze Technologie'. These works were sourced from collaborations between M.B./Maurizio Bianchi, and Frequency in Cycles for Second/Sandro Kaiser. A fascinating sonic mix of influences here... industrial, electro-experimentation, minimalism, noise, and deep-listening. Large, drone-based segments meld with the distant sounds of reverberating piano and soft whispered melodies. Dramatic and dark. Huge pools of sound, …
2005 release ** "Italian Avant-Noise legend M.B. and Land Use collaborate on dramatic, subterranean wall-of-noise constructions and swirling textural storms, dense and complex arrangements, shifting and shimmering tones barely under control, streaming toward some distant and indefineable precipice. Not noisy, but way too tense and corrosive to be called ambient. These vibrant monoliths of sound shift the listeners pysche into a restless sort of zen, a blissful chaos - truly mind and mood-alterin…
An extraordinary collaboration between the hystorical italian de-composer Maurizio Bianchi and the eclectic electronic-ambiental experimenter Nimh (Giuseppe Verticchio). An unmissable 4CD box that's a long and kaleidoscopic journey at the edges of sound, from the dark-industrial feelings of Together's Symphony, CD that gives the box the title, to experimental-lyric-introspective atmospheres of Secluded Truths, to sonic multicoloured collages of Niddah Emmhna, by the only M.B., and the electronic…
LAST COPIES - LP album, numbered and stamped vinyl limited edition of 250 copies. 'I've taken inspiration for this medicative work from the sordid persecution of the early Christians, but in other ways we receive objectivistic persecution every day from this standardized system, from our wretched condition and from the modern persecutors which are hidden behind their threatening countenances. The appropriate soundtrack of such perturbed sufferings is this justifiable work, 'Persecutionem', in wh…
A brand new album of minimal, cryptic & static sounds. The inexistence is the aplanatic condition of what is not existing, therefore doesn't subsist in the shot reality. Transferring this entomologic concept to radical music, we're consequently asking: inexistent sounds for existing people or existing sounds for inexistent people? Without schizoid presumption, "Inexistence" is replying to this existential question
Numbered edition of 600 numbered copies in a trifold 10" inch sleeve with original artwork. Re-issue of the Maurizio Bianchi's early Lp Mectpyo Bakterium . Included in this re-issue is a bonus disc with 55 minutes of ultra rare material officially published on CD for the first time here.Disc 1: First two tracks are from the 1982 LP 'Mectpyo Bakterium' released by DYS Records, USA. Third track is from '40 Days/ 40 Nights' compilation on Stratosphere Music, Japan. Fourth track is from 'Internation…
An unusual, very nice release for Maurizio Bianchi/M. B. playing a decadent piano using sostenuto and damper pedals effects. Ultra limited edition of 100 copies
First issued as a very limited private tapes in 1981, now for the first time ever on CD for these early tapes by one of the most important figures in noise/electronic history, Maurizio Bianchi. These two discs were originally issued on tape in 1981 and have been bootlegged and cut into oblivion since then; this is the first time they've been made available digitally and fully uncut. Technology 1 has two long 25 min+ songs, both in a similar vein and showing MB taking a more subtle melodic approa…
This is the limited friends edition of 50 copies in a red Box Set with golden imprints instead of the black Box Set with silver imprints, especially for the artist and a few other people in relation to VOD. Handsingned copy!
Maurizio Bianchi/M. B. used gelatinous comglomerates of consubstantial sounds, mixed with discretional eviscerated noises. Antithetic metal crucibles for contemplative adherents.
Maurizio Bianchi has been in the game for a long time. Since the late 70's he has proved himself to be a true pioneer of industrial minimalist tactics making it a goal to "produce technological sounds to work for a full awareness of modern decadence." I strongly believe that the most beautiful music is made through the filters of decay and slow demise. Bacterie is a fine example of this and only a sliver of what Bianchi has done over the last 30 years.
A magnetotherapeutic leakage bridled in the impartial passivity of our univocal meditations the second haemodialysis generated by maurizio bianchi and akifumi nakajima, announces the new era of untamed audio-inflammation. both operators have sharpened their pathologist scalpels to intoxicate the aural hemisphere with rhizospheric microorganisms and mononuclear blood-cells. inside the parasite plasmodium of mectpyo saisei the clinical rhythm-impulses by aube and septic piano-fragments by m.b. for…
First collaboration between Maurizio Bianchi and Akifumi Nakajima, the second one being the Mectpyo Saisei on Para Disc. Four long tracks of drowsy noise ambiance.
The duo weave a shimmering tapestry of alien drone, scattering bits of harddrive flotsam across squalls of ringing jetsam. "Improvisational" this recording might be, but aesthetically more than a few chronologically cultural links are forged with pioneer soundscapers of yesteryear (Xenakis, Stockhausen, Babbitt, Subotnick) more so than any straightforward diagrammatical connection with post-jazz avant-gardists... the duo delight in erecting a quakebasket quiverfest of extraordinarily well-articu…
Versatile sounds macerated during the past two years, finally assembled by Siegmar Fricke using phonematic machineries. In the academese, a "cluster" is a simultaneous musical chord comprised of consecutive tones separated chromatically. In general parlance, a cluster consists of three or more contiguous notes sounded at the same time, and the notes are sounded fully and simultaneously, distinguishing them from ornamented figures involving acciaccaturas and the like. Diametrically opposed are th…
Are based on Psalm 23 the brand new recordings by the great Maurizio Bianchi. Maurizio surprises us again with his Valley of Deep Shadow changing again direction and going into new unespected sonic territories. Will you walk through the darkest valley ? To be discovered.. Edition of 515 hand numbered copies.
Improvisation is the practice of making and creating in the moment and in response to the stimulus of one's immediate environment. Musical improvisation is the spontaneous creative process of making music while it is being performed. It's like speaking or having a conversation as opposed to reciting a written text. "Akoustikoriginem" is a marginal and exhausted resource for experimental diffusion of uncompromised acoustic sounds from the convergent beginnings. Maurizio Bianchi prevalently uses a…
This is the reissue of a CDR published by SILENTES a couple of years ago in only 120 copies. Now finally available on CD with restored artwork. DEAD COLOURS shows the more quite side of MB... with an incredible dark melanchonic tough in vein of David Lynch's atmospheres... Fantastic!
Decomposition instead that composition. De-structured music that instead structured music. Not to complex and articulated technologies forrecording, mixing of the parts and mastering; not to onesophisticated production and maniacal and defined participations correct in post-production... This the new "challenge" capacityto the extreme limit from Maurizio Bianchi, a new musical effort,"directed", "raw", immediate, absolutely uncompromising new, to outsideof every law and from every pre-constitute…
An unusual self-portrait of Maurizio Bianchi in a minimal and introspective version, "a discreet" sonic self-portrait, elaborated with soft and nearly abstract electronic sketches, cyclical waves, tangles of intersected sounds, stratified, continuously changing, manipulated and molded through uses of effects, filters, reverbs, choruses, delay... Expanded paces, rarefied and "apparently quiet" atmospheres, but at the same time always full of a constant sense of gravity and heaviness, of vulnerabi…
2006 release ** "'The 'elision' in the traditional music is a coercive and systematic dispositive necessary to assimilate two syllabic notes in one only. The 'elisionem', in the avant-gardist branch, is a sound absorbent course used amalgamate various sonorous elements into one. The main purpose is to generate an eclectic and axiomatic damping of the electroacoustic particles in order to proportion the achromatic fulfilment of modern concretism. And the final effect is phonographically disarming…

Dedicated to all the meditative people who is living in the environmental paradise. Released in a limited edition of 500 copies.
Frammenti, i.e. fragments, is the new direction in Maurizio Bianchi's music. An acoustic-bionic composition for electromagnetic waves and cyclic sonorities. Left now are all the indeterminate atmospheres gently fluctuating, in order to reach a more formal and structured work. Still dealing with the fragments of our memories made of joy and tribulations, sensations and awareness, aspirations and disappointments, with the carnal and the spiritual assistance. This new composition, quite as literall…
Ees'T records is happy to announce a further step into the Maurizio Bianchi new production, a new compact disc which completes the Trilogy starting with the previous Colori and First Day-Last Day. This time the author concentrates on Time, or the inevitable. A sound counterpointistic journey beginning with the creation of the first human being, in autumn 4026 B.C.E. and passing through the two big planetary cataclysms. Then the individual experience of MB himself is investigated, a sort of elect…
Conceived in the same direction of the previous CD titled Colori, this new work found its bases in the revaluation of the events the started the Creation, when an intelligent and complex act of sublime love started our physical universe off, transposing them in form of 8 electronic compositions elaborated in a 2 year work. A darker atmosphere marks the background sounds giving to the whole program a more obscure and less 'easy' impression while the more melodic traces fluctuate without direction…
2006 release ** "After the "A M.B. Iehn Tale" release (CD - SmallVoices 2005) for the first time Maurizio Bianchi meets TH26, historical Italian project in dark electronics. After their first official release ("La Haine" CD - SmallVoices 2002) they are now back with this amazing cooperation. For this release TH26 leaves their usual rhythmical attitude, in perfect symbiosis with Maurizio Bianchi, the "father" of Italian industrial music. This work presents deep obscure minimal soundscapes, moving…
rare tape, issued in 40 copies only "and about MB tape, its originally right channel only recorded stuff (+ low level white noise on left channel). here is a MBs note: "Concerning the description of why only the right channel, Ive only this in memory: I was trying some experiments at my first approach on my new MS20 Korg synthesizer, without any experience on it (because Im not a musician) and I pushed some button by mistake and the sound came out only in a right channel." "The "UNTITLED 1980" t…
2014 repress, originally released in 1998. First issued by the Mnemonists' label (Dys in the U.S.) in 1982. M.B.: proto-electronics, compositions, arrangements. Mektpyo Bakterium is a work furnished of implacable plastic exasperation. The icy oppression, the hallucinative electronic wounds, are a precious and singular fact in a technological society brought to the limit. The emotion is pushed into dangerous zones, and unusual zones, and unusual tensions -- free biological groans of extreme e…
2014 repress, originally released in 1998. Reissue of a private LP, issued in an edition of 300 copies in 1982 by Maurizio Bianchi ; a skeletal extremist project that will then transform into the "soundtrack" of a movie with the same title, edited and directed by Paul Hurst. It's the setting of the griable pre-apocalyptic fossilization, the supreme lapidation of the meanness which creates the myth. There are actual melodies present -- dense and dark that mutate into harsh electronic outbur…
2014 repress, originally released in 2000. First issued on the Broken Flag label in the UK in an edition of 500 in 1983. A different style, providing some distance from all his previous works; a more expansive experimentation with multiple layers of synthesizer sounds. Still very intense. M.B.'s recordings come closest to classical electronics, but always with a very personal style. This CD edition also features an interview on Radio Popolare in Milan from 1/1/83. An English translation i…
2014 repress of these classic M.B. albums (M.B. = Maurizio Bianchi, for those of you who haven't been saved yet). These were first reissued in 1998 by EEs'T (a division of Alga Marghen) and are now back again. Symphony... was the first M.B. album, issued in 1981, at the gates of the industrial noise revolution (it was also reissued on CD in the U.S. on Hospital Productions). "ArcheoMB" is the title given to the complete reprint of old M.B. records and here is part 1. EEs'T Records and M.B. …
