An underground icon in the electronic music world, Maurizio Bianchi is probably most widely renowned for his Symphony For A Genocide (reissued not too long ago on Prurient's Hospital Productions). Erimos is a collaborative venture between Bianchi and likeminded electronic artists Matteo Uggeri and Luca Bergero and occupies an incredibly dense forty-three minute duration filled with subtle drone, luscious environmental recordings and manipulated instrumental sources. While these are standard issue tools for any self-respecting electroacoustic artist, Bianchi and his cohorts somehow go beyond any notion of this being a mere academic exercise. Instead, Erimos (the Greek word for desert, no less) offers a blankly drifting, panoramic sound sculpture that shifts and evolves at a meticulously slow pace.
