Bad Sector was born as personal creation of Massimo Magrini, who is living in Tuscany. Magrini has collaborated for long time with the research department of Music at CNUCE in Pisa (one of the institutes by CNR – National Research Institute of Italy) releasing original gestures interfaces to be used in many live performances in Italy, Spain, Greece, Cuba etc. This big experience together with the experiences done with local post-punk bands (Jesus Blood) was bringing in 1993 to the birth of the Bad Sector project, which is a mix of electronic experimentation, usually dark emotions, ambient and industrial. His first CD “Ampos†released in 1995 (recently reprinted in Germany with additional unreleased material), was received very well by both critics and audience.In the next years the many different releases, also the more experimental ones (like Plasma in 1997), gave to the project good known in the international electronic underground. The "success" of Bad Sector was surely bild also by the many live performances (among others in Belgium, England, Germany, Czech Republic, Austria, UK, France, Russia, Australia …), a sort of hyper-dj set in which Magrini often uses particular self-build gestural “controllersâ€.His activity recently moves also on extra-musical territories, like the collaboration with the poem writer Tommaso Lisa. He is also one of the two members of the ambient experimental band Olhon .
