While Italian artists Maurizio Bianchi and Sonologyst (Raffaele Pezzella) differ in generation and sound, their artistic philosophies align - the urge to innovate and willingness to push against artificial boundaries of genre are manifested in restless manipulations of the raw fabric of sound.
The album includes electronics and hypnotic bassy oscillations, suggesting themes of psychological horror, societal breakdown, and dystopian futures. The compositions use dense, layered soundscapes that incorporate industrial noises, shifting sound walls, and detailed textures, evoking a range of sensations from cosmic expanses to the claustrophobic intensity of sleep paralysis.
"Whereas Bianchi's influences may lie in very early industrial music and musique concrète, for Pezzella, it's a lot more, Brian Eno, Pauline Oliveros, Terry Riley, Jon Hassel and, no surprise, Bianchi, besides influences from films books, philosophy (hauntology, nihilism), and science (particle physics). "Forme" is a work pervaded by investigative exploration of the unknown electro-modulatory... a flow of sounds, electronic in nature. There is a consistent flow in these pieces, rather than tight composing... I love this sort of rusty spaceship accident waiting to happen soundtrack; the leaky nuclear reactor minutes before combustion and we feel the burn slowly arriving" (Vital Weekly).
