==================== M.B aka Maurizio Bianchi ====================

Maurizio Bianchi began to produce music in 1979, since 1980 using electronic equipment with the avowed goal "to produce technological sounds and in such a way to work on complete realising of the modern decadence".

In the beginning, Bianchi published tapes under the alias Sacher-Pelz. In 1981, William Bennett, head of the band Whitehouse and the British Come Organization label, offered him a record contract, which Bianchi signed unchecked. It was based on a "joke contract" that Steven Stapleton of Nurse With Wound had sketched. The contract assumed all rights to Bianchi's work. After delivery of the tapes Bennett edited-in speeches by Nazi leaders, and instead of the relatively unsensational name MB, it was published under the alias Leibstandarte SS MB, named after the SS unit that worked as bodyguards to Adolf Hitler.

Until 1984, Bianchi published on other labels intensively as either MB or simply Maurizio Bianchi, sometimes several albums and/or tapes per year, as well as numerous tracks to compilations.
Bianchi became religious and withdrew from the music business. Much of his work is sought today by collectors, especially as they appeared in extremely small editions. In 1998, encouraged by Alga Marghen label head Emanuele Carcano, who offered him a label of his own, Maurizio Bianchi started again to make music. The label is EEs'T Records, through which he released new editions of all old MB albums, as well as many new releases.

Therefore, since 1997, Maurizio Bianchi was back on the underground scene, working on several projects both in solo or in collaboration with other Italian artists (Giuseppe Verticchio/NIMH, Arnaldo Pontis and Corrado Altieri/TH26, Davide Femia/MDT, Saverio Evangelista, Matteo "Hue" Uggeri/Sparkle in Grey, Emanuela De Angelis and Eugenio Maggi/Crìa Cuervos) and international (Klaus e Danijela Jochim/Telepherique, Sandro Kaiser/Frequency In Cycles Per Second, Akifumi Nakajima/Aube, David van Ravesteijn/Land Use, Siegmar Fricke, Nobu Kasahara and Hitoshi Kojo, Maor Appelbaum, Jozef Van Wissem, Craig Hilton, Phil Julian/Cheapmachines).

==================== E.D.A aka Emanuela De Angelis ====================

Emanuela De Angelis was born in 1975 in Pescara, Italy. A former member of the noise band Joyce Whore Not, she has been producing music and performing live since 1994. The group made releases for various compilations before disbanding in 1999. As a guest artist, she contributed to the Tu M' album "01" (Cut Records), performing live improvisations with modified guitar and prepared objects.

In 2001 De Angelis created the project Mou, Lips! with Andrea Gabriele, and their first album, "Peanuts and Shells Geometria", was released in 2003 by the French label List. They have been touring Europe (Paris, Lyon, Rome, London), promoting the CD and they appeared on various European and American compilations, musical projects and net-labels. As a guest vocalist, she also featured independently on the album Poprekordt by the German artist Hinterlandt (Dyhana Records).

In 2003 De Angelis joined the collective Avatar 41° and began doing collaborations with other artists on the "Maurice Soma" CD series, playing percussions and prepared objects for the first CD, and writing fiction for the cover artwork. She was co-curator, DJ and presenter for "tweez", an alternative indie and electronic music show on Radio Citta Pescara.

In 2004, De Angelis started her solo music project as Emanuela De Angelis (aka E.D.A), and she performed at the London Placard. Her debut, "Distances [repetition]", is available for download from the net-label 8bitrecs.

Emanuela De Angelis recently appeared as a guest vocalist on the album "White Label" by british artist Recon, as well as on its companion piece "White Label Deconstruction", both albums being released on Highpoint Lowlife Records. She contributed to the compilation "Sonic Scope 04 : The Portable Edition", released by the Portuguese label Grain of Sound.
The rules of droning...

Italians Maurizio Bianchi and Emanuela De Angelis have a generation between them, but that does not prevent them from delivering their first collaboration entitled "Regolelettroniche".
However, to get there, they had to agree on a few rules, alluded to in titles such as "Earthly Principle" and "Cosmic Norms", and through these "rulelectronics" credited to both of them.
That being said, these rules are left unexplained; listeners can discover them on their own when they experience this drone-based music: soft, quiet, seemingly reiterative yet clearly transformative.

Born in 1955, Maurizio Bianchi is one of the unique figures on the Italian avant-garde scene.
Musically active since 1979, using electronics since 1980, he was among the pioneers of the "cassette underground", rivalling Merzbow in creativity and sheer volume of production.
Then, in 1984, he suddenly ceased all activity for religious reasons. He made his comeback in 1997 and, since then, the experimental music microcosm has been flooded with his releases, from new projects to reissues, plus numerous collaborations with people such as Aube, Frequency in Cycles per Second, Jozef van Wissem and NIMH.

Twenty years younger than Bianchi, Emanuela De Angelis made her musical debut in 1994 as the lead singer and guitarist of the noise band Joyce Whore Not. She was a guest on Tu M' 's first record, and later co-founded Mou, Lips! with Andrea Gabriele. She launched her solo career in 2004 with a contribution to the compilation album "Sonic Scope 04 :: The Portable Edition" (Grain of Sound, co-curated by Baskaru). She appears on a number of compilations and web-based collaborations from 8bitrecs, Highpoint Lowlife, and Postdisco.

"Regolelettroniche" sees Maurizio and Emanuela combine loops, waves, drones and electronics into a "systematic sonorous assemblage for electronic instruments, axiomatic waves and essential reverberations". The resulting music engulfs the listener into a soundworld where chaos organizes itself between the ears.

Regolelettroniche is being released by the French label Baskaru. Baskaru’s previous releases (by Lawrence English, ENT, Urkuma, (etre), and GoGooo) have established uncanny artistic and visual standards, by which this new opus fully abides.
