"Secluded Truths", the newest production by Maurizio Bianchi and Giuseppe Verticchio (Nimh) is a really amazing work concerning the concept itself (showing similarities and parallels of Maurizio's and Giuseppe's life-path) and the structurized sound-sculpturing. Each piece shows much variety in overlapping complex sound-fields, partly combined with acoustic instruments. Starting with very clean ambiences in "Before the Light" the sedative and weightless atmosphere is very soon combined with reverse voices that constantly appear and disappear. The second track "Other Prayers" excellently underlines the similiar spiritual tendencies of both musicians by presenting two harmonic fields on each channel within the sound -panorama but at various pitches. Completely astonishing is the title-track itself with its breathless running sequence integrated into a deep cosmic field; it stays completely in the background while the gloomy cosmic texture remains the dominant acoustic factor. "The Sacred Outside" very well combines Maurizio's incomparable piano-treatments embedded in another cosmic realm of high pitched frequencies and environmental noise, whereas the CD's longest soundscape "Leaving the Time" interrupts the meditative and harmonic passages by fascinating dissonant psychedelia-modulations. Surprisingly the last two elaborations "The World Beyond" and "Leaving the Time (Reprise)" re-establish the original harmonic tendency of the whole album by beautiful melodic fragments mainly realized by acoustic and electric instrumentation. Spiritual music full of tension, innovative sound-combinations and a perfect mixture of harmonic and dissonant material.
(Siegmar Fricke - Pharmakustik)
