This is the remastered CD edition of "603... Annus Mundi" by Maurizio Bianchi. M.B. played empty synthetic sounds intersected by annihilated noise waves. Originally released by Italian download label Sine3pm (2006) it is now presented for the first time on physical format.

"When I decided to compose this work saturated with negativity, I was filled with apocalyptic thoughts and emotions, because inside me I was convinced that the end of this inconsistent system of things was very near. So, I prepared two sound carpets, permeated by saturated sounds and electronic modulations dripping with alienation and desperation. The result amazed me to such an extent that I decided to put a random and indefinite title, '603... Annus Mundi' with the three ellipses, almost as if not to indicate a precise date for the annihilation, but subject to various interpretations, at the discretion of the individual. Thus, the sense of empty frustration was brushed onto the canvas of emptiness, waiting for the end...".

This CD edition has been beautifully remastered by Andrew Chalk (Ferial Confine, Organum, ORA, Mirror). Ltd x 200 copies in an outsized card sleeves with collage art and liner-notes insert sheet written by Maurizio BIanchi.
