I Burn “Ipertermia” [Stateart” (33 RPM)

Released in 1998 and limited to 500 copies, Gabriele Santamaria and Maurizio Landini (a.k.a. I Burn) utilize sound sample treatments and digital technology as the flesh out pounding dark ambient scratchiness from Italy. It’s minimal yet builds briefly into mildly distorted echoing ear rash-ionality. Circulating glass bowl resonance increases audible parameters before fading out slowly. Sound layers never breach the barrier, but they don’t have too. They expand & retract in oscillating repetition with an indecipherable dark aura. Just when it seems such excellent sci-fi experimentation can go no further, exquisite industrial dance rhythms pervade momentarily. Very impressive & entrancing burning sensations. Check out their other works as Biped, H.P.P. and Typhoid.
