Maurizio Bianchi
Bianchi began to produce music in 1979, since 1980 using electronic equipment with the avowed goal "to produce technological sounds and in such a way to work on complete realising of the modern decadence". In the beginning, he published tapes under the alias Sacher-Pelz. Until 1984, Bianchi published on other labels intensively as either MB or simply Maurizio Bianchi, sometimes several albums and/or tapes per year, as well as numerous tracks to compilations. Bianchi became religious and withdrew himself from the music business. Much of his work is sought today by collectors, especially as they appeared in extremely small editions

Der Abgrund
"Der Abgrund is the last act of an unsolved theorem which must remains the same. It's the arcane enchanter of a denied truth since mimesis of itself, as not manifested manifestation that nevertheless perseveres on its concept of form beyond the form. It's omnivalent hypostasis of a prismatic Maurizio Bianchi who is annulling himself and reinvents between a climate and the other without solution of continuity, today in symbiotic communion with Frequency In Cycles Per Second. "Der Abgrund" is an o…
Pharmelodies
A colossal and epic post-ambient symphony in three movements, where echoes of string instruments, deep drones of indecipherable origin, layered synthetic waves, slowed-down and distorted dark sonic masses challenge time with a para-immobility in constant turmoil, in an unpredictable, progressive and sometimes cyclic combination of statuesque sonic forms whose physiognomy is often known and familiar, while at the same time elusive, disturbing, arcane and mysterious... Another highest and unmissab…
Aktivitat
Considered a high-water mark of early industrial, Maurizio Bianchi Aktivitat went against the grain prevalent at the time; rather than pushing the boundaries of volume and pummeling rhythm (for example), the album goes for lo-fi murk, where dour restraint is the tool of depressive darkness.
Ynohpmys
This Italian electronics maestro seems to be still going strong after
around 30 years with his latest release. Opener 'Ortini' is like the
hazey recollection of a long train journey being put through an analogue
filter bank. 'The Inflammatory Sesor' has a kind of feeling of
nostalgia or distant memory that recalls William Basinski or The
Caretaker. 'Oigada' sounds like two decomposing tape loops slightly out
of sync creating a disorientating phasing effect. There are some very
…
Mental Machination Musing
This is the first release from Maurizio Bianchi for Red Light sound. In memory of Pierpaolo Zoppo (April 27th, 1963 / June 16th, 2012). "...whereas you do not know what your life will be tomorrow. For you are a mist appearing for a little while and then disappearing." (James 4:14)I am extremely grateful to Siegmar Fricke for his pharmacologic mixture of the sounds. Maurizio Bianchi

dekadenz
An unusual, very nice release for Maurizio Bianchi/M. B. playing a decadent piano using sostenuto and damper pedals effects. Ultra limited edition of 100 copies
Complete discography vol I
** very last copies** Everything starts when Maurizio Bianchi from Milano, with many years spent as a music journalist, realizes that writing (a very personal style both lucid and delirious) is no longer enough to describe the sounds he has in his mind. In that moment he started to deal with tape recorders, turntables, synthesizers, microphones, self-producing tapes and records under the name M.B., creating his own circuit of fans and aficionados always ready to plunge themselves into the…
1980 - 2016
M.B. - 31.04.1980 was recorded at Mectpyo Studio, Milano, in April 1980. Unreleased track. A musique concrete track made mostly using lp records played at the wrong speed and made into frantic loops. There are also the occasional and unexpected bits of dialogue! A very interesting M.B. early experiment.
Dedali - 31.04.2016 was recorded at The Shadow Factory, Lugano, in April 2016. A dense and hypnotic track. Dedali here uses treated field recordings and voice samples creating a very warm organi…
Muu/Nh 31.4.1982 / Menses 30.2.1982
First ever official CD re-issue of Maurizio Bianchi two albums recorded in 1982. "When in the summer of 1982 I bought a device for the echoes, my twisted idea was to transform pre-recorded sounds into something inaudible and shocking, while keeping intact the original intensity. And so I proceeded to transform Menses and Moerder Unter Uns in two bloody clumps of foggy echoes and dark reverberations. Thus they were birthed the two works in question, which came to light in very few copies, only fo…
Under the Victory Banner
Under the Victory Banner was first published as part of the Lp "Weltanschauung" in February 1982 by Come Organisation, UK.This limited edition box set contains the track Under The Victory Banner on 3 different formats: a 7" pressed on a violet vinyl, a violet cassette and a professionally printed CD-R. Also included is an insert with an unpublished M.B. artwork from 1980. All insert are signed by Maurizio Bianchi / M.B. Limited edition of 30 numbered copies. Ins…
Nervous Hydra / All This Has Passed Forever
Stunning split release between Maurizio Bianchi, godfather of the Italian industrial noise scene, and Abul Mogard, the much loved and hyperstitious synthesist, conjuring a spellbinding testament to the transcendent and transportive energies of electronic music. Although appearing to starkly contrast on the surface, both artist’s work patently shares a lust for the suggestive abstraction of raw current and its pareidolia-like capacity to generate rich and uncanny emotional responses from the end…
Mörder Tape
First ever re-issue of this mythical Maurizio Bianchi tape from 1980. Mörder Tape was recorded in Milano at Mectpyo Studio using concrete sounds and radio waves. Another very fascinating M.B. early experiment. Limited edition of 150 copies in digipack. Cover images are original M.B. artworks from 1980.
Mectpyo Box
New 2015 edition!!! Starting from Sterile Records' "Symphony for a Genocide" to Broken Flag's "The Plain Truth", passing through DYS' "Mectpyo Bakterium" and all the records privately issued by M.B. on his Mectpyo Sound (“Menses”, “Neuro habitat”, “Regel”, “Das Testament”, “Endometrio”, “Carcinosi”, “Armaghedon”), plus all the tracks by M.B. from international LP compilations (issued on Bain Total, Broken Flag, Come Organisation, and TRAX), a large selection of tracks from international K7 compi…
The Triumph of the Will
First ever official vinyl re-issue of the infamous "Triumph of the Will" LP. Also the track contained on the one sided 7" is officially re-issued here for the first time on vinyl! The material contained here was previously issued under the moniker Leibstandarte SS MB.The moniker Leibstandarte SS MB and the nazi speeches that were added to the music were used without Maurizio Bianchi knowledge and without his consent. William Bennett, head of the band Whitehouse and the British Come Org. label, …
Weltanschauung
At the beginning of 1981 Maurizio Bianchi sent some demo tapes to the Come Organisation in England; after that, they extracted and blended together the sounds to get the final work. The title « Under The Victory Banner », an anachronistic and detrimental track for the rest of the album has been replaced by the title of the same set « Plutoniumetrio » edited in 1982 by the Come Organisation for the compilation « Für Ilse Koch », which fits much better with the other tracks. The Come Organisation…
Absurdum

Fetish Tape
First ever re-issue of this recently discovered Maurizio Bianchi private tape from April 1980. Fetish Tape was recorded right after Mectpyo Blut. Fetish Tape, as with the other tapes (Atomique, Cold, Voyeur,Industrial), features heavily distorted sounds and records played backwards and/or at the wrong speed! Also on the B side of Fetish Tape we find a track mostly made with radio waves. A very odd and fascinating M.B. experiment!Limited edition of 250 numbered copies in digipack. Cover image is …
Symphony For A Genocide
The legendary 1981 LP is back!! "The moral of this work is: the past punishment is the inevitable blindness of the present. Death camps were established through the process of dehumanized engineering, to destroy the will of the individual, and to create industrialisation of death. The modern parallel is to override the individual human choice through mass-media that established the city of death, in which marketing has become synonymous with mass destruction. A pathetic symphony for both i…
Micromal Sonorities
A collaboration between Maurizio Bianchi e Saverio Evangelista (Esplendor Geometrico). Originally published only in Japan in 2007 and deleted from years, now it's time for the long awaited re-release, that - with the cd - features the workshop MICRO by Stefano Gentile, inspired by the album.
