A growing reputation is following this Italian act. The recent acceleration of his outputs and participation to Deadly Actions IV festival accentuate this phenomena. The split Tape with Contagious Orgasm "Vacuum Pulse" has been reprinted on CD by OEC. New releases should be "Toroidal Body" 7''+CD single box, on Pre-Feed Records (I) & "Survival Tools" 3 inches CD on Cohort Recs (USA). This subtle mixing of ambient and atmospheric soundscapes with many different source types lead to a reliable Sound maker. Someone to watch closely and follow a great sound and emotions manipulator.

The last fourth (after Ampos, Plasma and Dolmen Factory) new CD "The Harrow" is out on AVA/ES1-RESET Reset.01 Limited to 584 copies. Check http://www.cdstreet.com/artists/avaes1resetrecords/. "11 tracks of 55 minutes of material which could be described as somewhere between "Ampos" & "Dolmen Factory" but even better in concept and execution. Used on these recordings were: Impulsive sounds obtained with a PKCB104 Digital Geiger Counter using Radium as a gamma radiation sound source +air, naval, and military radio bands scanned with a AOR 2000 Wide Range Monitor receiver + original voice treatment software developed by Massimo Magrini. The artwork for this release depicts a Stealth Bomber delivering 46 bombs taken in infrared (when have you ever seen a Stealth in attack??? probably never because the pictures are extremely hard to come by!!!) and the inside booklet details all the specs for the Stealth culled from the military websites of the designers. The disc itself depicts a night bomb scene in gold and black print. All this is summed up by the inside quote "Whatever commandment the condemned man has transgressed is engraved on his body by the harrow....".

By waiting here’s the interview:

2) Can you tell me what has motivated you for such a work through Bad sector? Why such a name?

I came from academic electronic music. After some years of activity in the Computer Music Lab of CNUCE (an institute of the National Research Council of Italy), I really get bored with these emotionless serious computer music, so I moved to something different, less "politically correct". Just from the beginning, my target was to build an "organic", deep sound. Sometimes I developed my personal electronic devices and software, just to give more "life" to the recordings. Anyway, It's very difficult for me to describe my sounds. I cannot explain all the emotional/phylosophical implications of the sounds in my structures. Actually, I think that when you try to explain something with an aesthetic value (whatever it is), maybe you risk destroying it. As far as the name: Bad Sector is a damaged part of a computer disk.

3) Can you tell us more about your futures plans as a band member? Releases, featuring, dates, package, labels...?

There will be a CD reprint of the Dolmen Factory tape on Membrum Debile Propaganda (Germany) and a CDr reprint on Old Europa Cafe of the collaboration tape I made with Contagious Orgasm, on the same label. The new Bad Sector CD will be out on AVA/ES Records (USA). I am currently rebuilding my live set-up, and I will re-start to do live performances in the future. Also, I am working on some other fronts, including a side project in collaboration with Where (Italy) isolationist audio project, involving special underwater recordings, is now in progress (final mastering phase). The Institute of Clinical Physiology of CNR (I) will use Bad Sector music as soundtrack for CD-ROM multimedia presentations of the most interesting clinical cases
