Endometrio / Endometrio De-Composto
*2022 stock* "Towards the end of 1982, I was living a moment of creative stagnation, and for avoid the risk of repeating myself with sterile modular secrations, I had an arterial idea: filering ancient recordings of mine through the aid of an Aiwa mucus echo machine , and so I set to process the sounds, transforming them into something completely new, so I coined the term “bionic music”, composed by concrete sounds recycled with electronic spraying… And as main theme I used the medical syncretis…
