BAD SECTOR "cmasa" cd

In spring 2005 I was invited by Luca Serasini to record some ambient tracks for the M3M art exhibition in Pisa. Usually I am a bit skeptical about "arty" things but, after I saw the interesting concept of the exhibition I decided to accept. The theme of the exhibition was mainly focused the river's end, with its unique role in the local urbanistic and social context. It is a unique place where an airplane factory (CMASA, now dismissed) was standing in the point where the river meets the sea, in front of a set of wooden structures holding fishing nets. The marvelous seaside scenery mixed with vintage industrial locations, together with a bit of nostalgia, created an unexpected but amazing mood. I was asked to use acoustic and natural sounds too, so I used treated piano and acoustic guitar sounds (quite strange flavors for me), together with water and metal samples.
With these sounds, obviously integrated with sounds made using current software technology I
created a set of audio fragments used in the various exhibition installations and videos.

Between 2007 and 2009 I regenerated and remastered these fragments, assembling them in this (quite) unusual Bad Sector release.
