5 stars Giuseppe Verticchio (Nimh), Andrea Marutti (Amon) composed a large variety of intuitive, dark electronic paintings. In this first collaborative project (before the birth of Hall of Mirrors), the two sound creators have returned to the primal / fundamental sources of dronescapes. Consequently, Sator musical aesthetism reveals a certain "decadent malaise", crystallizing a dark obsessive energy in purely physical, monotonous sounds & chords. This music evokes a "perfect tranquillity" with some beautiful, carefully made progressive harmonies. The sound is clean, repetitious and static, revealing a dreamy and ambiguous atmosphere in complete isolation, in an ivory-like kingdom. The transportation from one track to an other is very subtle. No precipitation, just floating, fascinating electronic epics for electric "suspended" trancey guitars, treatments and concrete sounds. The normal time is dissolved and the aspirations of the trio (Verticchio, Marutti, Gherardi) act like a "waking dream" on the listener. In a rather ritual, symbolistical manner, these electronic exhibitions open the gates to new kind of perceptual phenomenons. The idea of duration, the state of dis-possession invoked in the conceptual / transversal perspectives of Sator broke the traditional notions of time & space in musical narration. The fourth track announces the ascension pick of this haunted musical adventure, ominously entering into a magnificent state of enlightenment (ecstatic piece for fuzzing effects, long sustained chords, hypno-guitar treats). You really going to get high with Sator. A more expanded vision of drone art.
