• MAURIZIO BIANCHI - 'S.F.A.G. 31.11.1981' CD

"S.F.A.G. 31.11.1981" is comprised of two tracks of mechanically echoing structures from Maurizio Bianchi, the father of Italian Post-Industrial.

The original 1982 cassette, "S.F.A.G. 81", used his earlier work, "Symphony For A Genocide" as source material, albeit heavily filtered. This definitive reissue is the first to use the album's proper name and track titles. It explores a number of themes that appear throughout Bianchi's works - destruction and technological decline resulting in bleak dystopias, personal and societal disorientation, philosophy, and spirituality. It is purposely ambiguous with reverberating noise and dissonance that reflects - or perhaps creates - a sourceless yet immersive tension. Bianchi's penchant for manipulating raw sounds results in a hypnagogic journey that does not have a clear beginning or end.

From 1979 to 1984, Bianchi released around 35 albums, showcasing a period of intense creativity before he took a break from music until 1998. Working with rudimentary equipment, including basic tape recorders and synthesizers, Bianchi overcame significant technical limitations as well as a conservative mentality in the music industry of the time.

Ltd x 200 copies in a 6-panel matt-laminate digipak.
