Sparkle in Grey + Maurizio Bianchi "Rainy Clouds under the Sun: Cirrum"

"The cloud has a meaning that goes well beyond the purely ‘physical’ point of view, that is it can hide something from sight or can announce the arrival of disturbance. In fact in a metaphysical sense, the cloud represents trouble, worry, doubt, uncertainty. And we are living in an historical time marked by these injurious and noxious effects.

But Nefelodhis (in Greek, ‘cloudiness’) seeks to be an injection of moderate positiveness and a propagation of concrete optimism, to dispel the clouds of anguish and obsession." (Maurizio Bianchi)

The track you find here is taken from Nefelodhis, an album about the concept of clouds made in collaboration between MB Maurizio Bianchi and Sparkle in Grey, available on Cold Current and MCL labels.

Usually Sparkle in Grey was a solo project of Hue (aka Der Einzige, Normality/Edge) which mixed electronic rhythms and melodies with field recordings, but now it's a four men band.

They're often playing live and they recorded, with Giuseppe Ielasi, the
A Quiet Place album, a CD made of minimal rhythms, melancholic melodies, field/objects recordings and some noise, as the usual style of Sparkle in Grey, which is going to be issued in 2008.

One official album (with Hue only) is available on Afe, called
The Echoes of Thiiings, plus many mp3 releases in the Sparkling Sodality Releases and on ctrl+alt+canc and sine3pm netlabels.
