Bad Sector was born as a personal creation of Massimo Magrini, who is living in Tuscany. Magrini has collaborated for long time with the Computer Art Lab of ISTI in Pisa (one of the institutes by CNR – National Research Institute of Italy) releasing original gesture interfaces to be used in many live performances in Italy, Spain, Greece, Cuba. This big experience together with the experiences done with post-punk bands in the late 80’s brought 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 with additional unreleased material), was immediately received very well both by critics and audience.
In the next years the many different releases, also the more experimental ones (like Plasma in 1997), gave popularity to the project in the international electronic underground scene. The success of Bad Sector was built also with the many live performances (among others in Belgium, England, Germany, Czech Republic, Austria, UK, France, Russia, Lithuania, Poland, Australia …), a sort of hyper-DJ set in which Magrini often uses particular self-built gesture “controllers”.
In the recent years, beside Bad Sector, Magrini formed the project Olhon, together with the Where leading member Zairo. This project explores the territories between dark ambient and concrete experimental music using sounds recorded in extreme locations (caves, underwater etc.).
After many years Magrini still maintains his fundamentally experimental but surprisingly “pop” guiding lines.

"...Black, cold, the surrounding space. Without sound, without a bit of breath. Somewhere far away beyond the borders of the senses, outs of time, you can hear hopelessly long cries, sad, never-ending monotonous song of emptiness. Emptiness fills everything. Even hearts so far full of life now are dead. All overflows undescribed sorrow, starting off where everything was beginning. Amazing black, deep unlimited black. Darkness nothing more, there is no light. Far flare of perspective changes driven every day. The hours, days, months, years are irrelevant. Waiting gradually turned into the reluctance, the reluctance into sadness, sadness into pain. Far strenuous pain, of all colours of grey - the colour black. ..."
"...Czarna, zimna, otaczająca przestrzeń. Bez dźwięków, bez odrobiny tchnienia. Gdzieś daleko poza granicami zmysłów, poza granicami czasu, słychać długi rozpaczliwy krzyk, smutny, niekończący się monotonny śpiew pustki. Pustka wypełnia wszystko. Nawet dawne pełne życia serca są martwe. Wszystko przepełnia nieopisana żałoba, zaczynająca się tam gdzie wszystko miało początek.Niesamowita czerń, głęboka nieograniczona czerń. Ciemność to wszystko, nie ma światła. Daleki rozbłysk perspektywy zmiany napędzał każdy dzień. Godziny, dni, miesiące, lata, to bez znaczenia. Oczekiwanie stopniowo przeradzało się w niechęć, niechęć w smutek, a smutek w ból. Daleki męczący ból, o wszystkich kolorach szarości - kolorach czerni. ..."
As winter hibernation and spring awakening gives way to summer, Halo Manash rises radiant into luminosity, with wings spread into all worlds, and brings forth Taiwaskivi, an opulent work of solar ambience and primordial Ur-music.
Taiwaskivi, a work of sonic flame and aural ash, consists of seven interrelated tracks, utilizing such diverse instrumentation as organ, horns, vocals, drums, gongs, percussions and various string instruments as well as field-recordings captured during the pilgrimage that the creation of the work embodies.
An air of finality abounds, as Taiwaskivi, although a complete work in itself, can also be viewed as the third and final facet of a tripartite series of works that are part of one holistic creation – a treelogy, with seed, root, trunk and finally, branches. Being the culmination of an ascending journey through the aforementioned realms within and without, Taiwaskivi is the celestial crown at the peak, reaching toward Sol, source and beyond; it is the leaves and fruit of the branches and their skybound nectar ever-flowing - the sacred fire, the consummation and conjunction of All.
Comes in a hand finished cardboard booklet. Two different editions are available; regular CD edition and CD + DVD with inserts. Both are limited to 500 copies.
