About Me

A.A.V.V. "PLAY TO: BN CHORA. JUGEMENT"
"Play to: BN Chora. Jugement" is part of the soundtrack created for the "BN Chora. Jugement" installation by Massimo Indellicati / Progetto Sperimentale Chora and is Sil Muir (Andrea Ferraris & Andrea Marutti) debut release. Our contribution is one long track (33m57s), entitled "To the Outer Fringes", that is inspired by "The Wild Blue Yonder" by Werner Herzog. The album also includes one long track by Gianluca Becuzzi & Luigi Turra, plus two short audio documents by Anna Maria Giordano. A few copies are available for sale through the Afe mail-order .
ANDREA MARUTTI "THE SUBLIMINAL RELATION BETWEEN PLANETS (LIVE IN ARCHIARO)"
Andrea Marutti's latest CD album entitled "The Subliminal Relation Between Planets (Live in Archiaro)" is out now on Nextera . The album was recorded live in Archiaro (Albi, Catanzaro, Italy) in August 2007 and is a 74 minutes excursion into ambient / dark-ambient territories. A few copies are available for sale through the Afe mail-order .
ANDREA MARUTTI "I HEARD IT THROUGH THE WOODS (AND LAID UPON THE SHORE)"
Andrea Marutti's thirty minutes long music video entitled "I Heard It Through the Woods (and Laid Upon the Shore)" is available now on Streamit.It , a new web television. You can watch the video at full-screen resolution by clicking here .
OVO / A.A.V.V. "VOODOO REWOORK & VIDEOO"
Taken from the acclaimed "Miastenia" album on Load Records, the song "Voodoo" is now remixed, decontextualized, reworked and covered by ten different and valuable artists from around the world. From Belarus (Buben) to U.S.A. (Amy Denio), passing through the old U.K. (Luminous) and all the various provinces of OvO's own land, Italy. Each artist took the sound of the original recordings (cello, noises, the recognizable drumming of Bruno and Stefania's screaming) and re-used them in unknown ways. Sometimes adding contemporary-style piano pieces (Mark Hamn), post-rock guitar and violin drones (Sparkle in Grey) or mysterious instrumental additions (Amy Denio). Someone else went hard on tape and concrete treatments (Harshcore and Larsen Lombriki), another with beats and electronics (Buben), passing through the noisy dark lands of Luminous and Andrea Marutti. Moreover, OvO themselves give us a different and more powerful version of the original track, and the videomakers of Invernomuto contribute with a weird and narrative video. The CD-R comes with a voodoo personal card & pin!!!
A.A.V.V. "TABLE FOR SIX: ALL QUIET? 2"
EE Tapes has just released the second volume in the "Table For Six: All Quiet?" series. This new chapter includes all unreleased and exclusive contributions by Objekt4, Andrea Marutti, Laurent Perrier, Lutnahimat, June 11 and Brian Lavelle. The compilation is limited to 300 CD copies and is packaged in a beautiful 7" cover.
HALL OF MIRRORS "REFLECTIONS ON BLACK"
Hall of Mirrors is an experimental music project founded by Andrea Marutti and Giuseppe Verticchio (Nimh) in 2005. Their first album entitled "Reflections on Black" was released by Silentes in early July 2007.
Hall of Mirrors utilizes different collaborators on each work, guests on "Reflections on Black" were Giulio Biaggi (Nefelheim) and Daniela Gherardi.
ANDREA MARUTTI "THE BRUTALITY OF MISBREATHING"
"The brutality of misbreathing, just like being choked by the anxiety of an endless resonating emptiness, uselessly searching for a way out of loneliness. Spending days with half-closed eyes, hoping to dream reality away for as long as possible, observing a new failure in the early morning light. Trying to fill an ever-growing lack of warmth with self-made illusions, still feeling alive as tears flow down lapping the edge of a broken nose."
"The Brutality of Misbreathing" is Andrea Marutti's first full-lenght release published under his own name. The album is a one hour journey between dramatic dark atmospheres and drone-based ambiences in slow and continous evolution. Echoes of reverbered metallic sounds and sharp circular loops, electronic elements and saturated signals close to distortion emerge each now and then from the disquieting sound mass. The music flows in a persistent alternation of majestic crescendos and quiet discreet stases; a sense of tension and discomfort permeates the whole disc, just like being stuck in a long and appearently never-ending bad dream...
AMON / NIMH "SATOR"
During 2005 I met with Giuseppe Verticchio to record a few tracks together and we ended up recording two albums worth of material... "Sator", our first collaboration, was released in February 2007 by Eibon Records.
Here's an excerpt from the press-release...
"The mystery of the ancient and puzzling magic SATOR square is evoked again in present time through five dark tracks entitled like the five palindromes that form its fascinating structure: SATOR / AREPO / TENET / OPERA / ROTAS. The album is a granitic and majestic work, a musical journey in time and history that leads the listeners to the deepest and remote abysses of Earth through archaic and magmatic sounds, confusing them along the way with the technologic and synthetic vibrations of oscillating sinewaves, and with frosty isolationist timbres programmed through fluxes of information written in binary code..."

A FEW WORDS ABOUT MYSELF
My name is Andrea Marutti, I was born in 1970 and I live in Milan, Italy. I began my experiments with music in the early '90s using tapes and concrete elements. A few years later I also began to use synthesizers, samplers and other electronic devices, and founded the Lips Vago Digital Studio.
My most well-known projects are Amon and Never Known. Several releases of Ambient / Dark Ambient music were published by labels such as Eibon Records, Nextera, Amplexus, Silentes, Drone Records, Taalem, etc. on CD and other medias.
I am also responsible of many other projects dealing with different styles of electronic music ranging from Lo-Fi / Weird / Cheap Electronica to IDM (Wolkspurz & Ramirez, Lips Vago), Dada / Noise / Non-sense (Spiral).
Recently I also started recording and releasing experimental/ambient tracks under my own name, in duo with Nimh / Giuseppe Verticchio as "Hall of Mirrors", with Davide Del Col (Ornament, Echran) as Molnija Aura, and again in duo with Andrea "Ics" Ferraris as "Sil Muir".
During the years I had the chance to collaborate and play with many friends/musicians/artists: Nimh, Nefelheim, Madame P, Andrea "Ics" Ferraris, Aidan Baker, Dronaement, Davide Del Col, Bugo, Krell, Femina Faber, a034, Florian Filsinger, , Roberto Bellatalla, Elephant Zyclus, Kabal, Moan, OvO, Ventolin Orchestra, Hue, Sparkle in Grey, Mark Hamn, V/VM, Manuele Cecconello, Amalia Del Ponte, Subterranean Source, Raffaele Serra, Biped...
I run a small label called Afe whose 10th birthday was celebrated in 2005. Among the musicians who had their music released on Afe I would like to mention Maurizio Bianchi, Bad Sector, Maeror Tri, Telepherique, De Fabriek, Ultra Milkmaids, Aidan Baker, Ovum, Steve Brand, Logoplasm, Raffaele Serra, Ellende, Bestia Centauri, True Colour of Blood, Gerstein, Dronaement, Frog Pocket, Moan, Nimh, Brian Lavelle...
My latest CD entitled 'The Subliminal Relation Between Planets (Live in Archiaro)' was released by Nextera in January 2008.
