More Info "Giuseppe Verticchio (aka Nimh, Hall of Mirrors, Maribor, Twist of Fate…) is known for his high-quality post industrial dronescapes and ethno-ritual sound productions through various technologies, field recordings, noises and treated acoustic instruments. Since 2002 his materials have been notably published by Rage in Eden, Silentes, Malignant, Eibon Records, Naked Lunch Records … Developped around loops, samples and minimal acoustic sequences, this new Nimh album offers thrilling sonic sound rituals with a distinctive aestheticism which embraces the universe of pantheistic, pagan and animist beliefs. The music originally explores the mystical influences, the meaningful sacred energies, dreamlike hypnotic effects obtained by obsessional sound patterns and cyclical rhythms. « Circles of the Vain Prayers» is a great companion of later works from Nimh, including « Missing Tapes » (Silentes, 2007), « Krungthep Archives » (Silentes, 2011). Your perfect ambient, entrancing and blackened music pilgrimage to revisit sacred places of foreign small scale societies." [label info] rageineden.org "For those who are not yet familiar with the work of Giuseppe Verticchio (Nimh), this Rome-based artist has created a handful of ethno-ritual, soothing and ominous industrial drone releases for labels such as Silentes, Eibon and Rage in Eden. Circle of the Vain Prayers appears to be his latest effort to see the light on the martial/industrial/neo-folk label Rage in Eden. In this new release Nimh reiterates on the entrancing neo-spiritual and mystical direction of his processed and semi acoustic ambient music. However, contrary to his past albums such as The Missing Tapes and Travel Diary which also have an inclination for ethnic droning sonographies, this new album reinforces the darkened religious facet with a great corpus of enthralling and vertiginous loops which advocates ritual trance states observable during shamanic ceremonies/catharsis processes and astral voyages. Based on small repetition of phrases and electronically processed figures of acoustic timbres the music really seems to communicate with some invisible forces and deities from the nature. Musical comparisons can be found at the same time in the experimental-conceptual music of Henry Flynt, Angus McLise or Lamonte Young as well as in the static dreamy ambient tracks of Rapoon. The whole thing is enriched by diverse noisy sequences, field recordings and samples. A very sensorial and tripped out hypnotic avant-folk ambient album. An absorbing and vertical listening treat for the ears. Absolutely recommended for fans of blackened looping ambiences." [Igloo Mag]
