活動歴は既に40年以上に及ぶイタリアノイズ界の重鎮Maurizio Bianchi。シンガポールのノイズレーベル4iB Recordsが手掛けた、変名Sacher-PelzとM.B.による非常に珍しい連名タイトル[C.M.E.R.]。自身の"陰と陽"両方を探求するという事をコンセプトとしたパーソナルなアルバムであり、古典的な手法で制作された約30分に及ぶ2つの長尺ノイズドローンを収録。1曲目の[Cainocide Menus]では冷徹なオシレーター操作を行い、複雑なパルスやリズミカルなループパターンを生み続ける抽象的なエレクトロニクス放射を、2曲目の[Existat Regurs]では賛美歌的美麗なメロディーが図太く上昇下降を繰り返すダークアンビエントを提示。200部限定。



Digipak CD. 1st 40 label copies come with a grey plastic sleeve & numbered sticker.
C.M.E.R is an exploration of duality, an album that explores both darkness and light. An album that weaves a deftly spun web of both uplifting quasi classical synth work with bleaker more industrial tones.

It consists of two lengthy tracks; Cainocide Menus is a cold, metallic, disorienting pulse of overloaded oscillators. The slow rumbling looped drones giving the track an almost rhythmic pattern. A slow funerary march into the apocalypse. The sound of a cowled figure beneath a steel sky, marching slowly into oblivion.

Meanwhile Existat Regurs is the sound of that condemned man being released from purgatory and into the light. Slowly the shackles that bound him are cast aside and the slow ascent begins. An ascent of beautiful melodies that flicker at first through the darkness that attempts to bind; before casting it off completely and heralding a new dawn.

Mr Bianchi has been extremely prolific over the last twelve months and seems to have found a new sense of purpose. As the pandemic has swept the world we have seen an increase in activity from him. Almost as if he is possessed by the same desire to push back against the pestilence as he was against the technocratic slavery he recognised as a young man.

C.M.E.R will please those who are interested in both the bleaker, harsher early years of this artists work and those who enjoy his more spiritual forays into sound art. It is a surprisingly powerful work consisting of both damnation and salvation. (By Kristian Carter)
