NIMH - Before and After Silence

Format: CD Label & Cat.Number: Zoharum - ZOHAR 317-2 Release Year: 2024 Note: early archive material from the Italian electronic / ambient / ethno project, 8 nameless pieces that show the more electronic but also low fi droning and noisy beginnings in the 90's, with a nice "live in the studio" approach .. - "All tracks were originally played and recorded live by Giuseppe Verticchio in the 1990s, without editing, overdubbing or mixing. Some tracks were slightly re-edited in 2023 to correct some recording defects present in the original tapes." - 300 copies Price (incl. 19% VAT): €13.00 More Info Recently, Giuseppe Verticchio has devoted a lot of work to organizing and systematizing a rather extensive archive, containing both projects that were practically completed but never published, as well as sketches and abandoned fragments or registered ideas that, for various reasons, were not continued even though some some of them even date back to the late 1980s. Following these activities, the recordings are saved in a digital version. These materials included also a cassette titled "Before and After Silence", which is a reference to Brian Eno's album, although its musical content isn't stylistically consistent with the work of the godfather of the ambient genre. Recordings from the early 1990s are collected here, prepared for a specific, complete, coherent publishing concept. These are tracks performed live, mainly using a sequencer and synthesizers along with effects and the use of "ambiences" based on drones and various sounds previously recorded on tape. Now the material has been completely remastered and has been published first time on CD as the second installment in the "Early Electronic Works" series after "Caustic / Composite". https://zoharum.bandcamp.com/album/before-and-after-silence
