FALLEN SUN/SACHER-PELZ/THOMAS BEY WILLIAM BAILEY

Italian 'industrial music' overlord Maurizio Bianchi returns to Grubenwehr Freiburg for another release in tandem with our partner label Attenuation circuit. For this collaborative album with Fallen Sun which is the industrial / noise project from Malaysia and U.S. sound artist and writer Thomas Bey William Bailey, he has reactivated his early project name Sacher Pelz.

Acousmatomisation” is a programmatic title, as are all the track titles with their references to physics. With its 'scientific' approach, the track list could come from a Bernard Parmegiani album as well as from techno avantgardists Dopplereffekt/Arpanet. Trained physicists may decide if the tracks actually sound like a plausible sonification of the phenomena mentioned in the titles. Meanwhile, each and every listener can enjoy this one-hour journey through the interferences of tones – sometimes extreme in their frequency – and noise. Sound masses coalesce, solidify, pulsate and drone, and eventually, they disintegrate into particles, which in turn regroup and morph into new structures. On the way, the compositions make use of a rich palette of textures and effects, opening our ears to the wide range of possibilities of electronic musics, as hinted at in the above references to wildly different practitioners of this art.
