Aube / Maurizio Bianchi
Junkyo

THE REVIEW

Aube and Maurizio Bianchi together. What can such a meeting generate?

66 minutes of music in four tracks (!), that's what it can generate. An entire era that reconstitutes itself before our unused eyes. Imagine the dematerialization of a person and the sudden deletion of the subject. Imagine the replacement of any communication, even posthumous, with the persistence of a self-aware retinal capability that nullifies the distinction between communicating, self-communicating, and imagining. Imagine two characters traveling towards nothingness who, driven at a mad speed, begin to lose themselves in empty space and having become Inconsistency, transform into memories.

'Junkyo' is more or less this state of affairs. The eonic electronics of Aube meets the magnetic tapes of a Maurizio Bianchi in top form. It all begins with a darkness filled with planets, rotations, stars. Then a horizontal slide takes us towards the second part of "Gog's Attack". Truly excellent. "The Lamb's Sacrifice" is the direct continuation of the first track, but the transformation of these two beings, of these two astronauts, reaches a different level of abstraction.

The class that emanates from this work cannot be separated from the curriculum of these two monsters of the contemporary underground. Two personalities so important, so legendary (especially Bianchi) that it is not easy (for me) to maintain the necessary detachment to talk about it, to describe it. To "try" to describe it. This consideration of mine doesn't only refer to the past of these two musicians, but to the fact that they have done something together (already more than shocking), and that they have done it recently to boot.

The review however is finished. Five.
