MS-031 SVART1 - "Der Schnitter" 2011 tape (5 EURO)
Svart1 is Raimondo Gaviano, who works in the fields of Ambient, Dark Ambient, Industrial, live-performance and video. He is a collector of sounds and noises, which are the basis of his music. He generates it from field-recordings, syntheziser, guitar, dulcimer, pc or other interesting stuffs.
DER SCHNITTER is defined by a persistent use of images and topics coming from a psychological, sadomasochist and self-destructive background, inspired by a widespread desecrating attitude, sometimes profane towards religious symbols represented by the thinness of a woman unconsciously responsible of the body’s functions and of her sexual acts. It represents the experience of a progressive passage, that implies a “renewing death”.
Sounds, basically of post-industrial features, go along the trip of human body’s decomposition, a body which is then covered by a “white blood” as a symbol of purity renewing in small actions that pervade the surrounding, sometimes disconnected and unpredictable, sometimes designed in details. Such actions, sliding unconsciously towards the mise-en scene of parareligious rituals referred to the Christian liturgy and to the classical Greek tragedy, include both erotic and disgusting feelings without a solution of continuity. The end will be the rebirth. Tape release, limited to 60 copies! https://www.svart1.altervista.org, https://www.myspace.com/svart1
