Hinter NETHERWORLD steckt ALESSANDRO TEDESCHI aus Rom, der auch das GLACIAL MOVEMENTS-Label betreibt und an einer speziellen Ambient-Musik arbeitet, die "eisige" Atmosphären heraufbeschwören sollen, solche von Winter- und Eislandschaften, allerklarste Frost-Scapes, endlose Schneeweiten, umgesetzt in "Isolations-Drones"... "SIX IMPENDING CLOUDS" ist ein beeindruckendes Beispiel für die Umsetzung dieses Konzepts...
"I guess it's an appropriate day to write about Alessandro Tedeschi's project: it was snowing heavily when I received his discs, and it's snowing now as well... "Six Impending Clouds", on Ben Fleury Steiner's Gears of Sand, is Netherworld's most recent release, following some excellent releases on Umbra Records which I'll partly review later. The minimal and well designed layout, by Slo Bor Media, matches well the six untitled tracks of the album. Tedeschi uses synths, voice, field recordings and gong to weave abysmal soundscapes which reminded me of Lull (circa "Cold Summer") or early Koener - dark and abysmal but with a sort of intimate and trance-inducing atmosphere that many dark ambient projects lack. "Isolationism" may be an out of date term, but it perfectly fits this music. Track 2 tries some melody, and in the fourth one the gong adds an extra feel of menace, but in general the pieces just match the "impending clouds" definition, being based on misty, slowly evolving drones." [Eugenio Maggi, Chain D.L.K.]
