ANDREA MARUTTI / FAUSTO BALBO - DETRIMENTAL DIALOGUE

Year: 2010
Record label: Boring Machines

This record is the output of a collaborations between two long running electronic musicians of the italian experimental scene: Andrea Marutti and Fausto Balbo. Marutti and Balbo met at Lab12 in Vigevano in 2005 and their mutual interest in electronic research started a collaboration in which they explore all kind of electronic synthesis, both analogue and digital, additive and subtractive, granular, phase distortion and FM.
The records has been composed togheter in different sessions and then mixed in a very long final session using an analogue mixer and some outboard effects.
Involving so many suggestions the sound of “Detrimental Dialogue” defies categorization, it’s electronic reserach but it’s at times spacey and then heavy and then back into abstract spirals of synthetic sound.
The album comes in a deluxe package including a poster, the artwork is curated by Stefano “Sicksoul” Rossetti and it’s the perfect image for what’s inside the record: once again Space is the Place!
