Fario CD10 : netherworld / nadja « magma to ice » split-CD
The Fario label was created in 1998 by the staff of the French magazine Fear Drop.
The concept behind Fario is the meeting : collaborations between two artists.
Each record shows two halves created separately and a common track, a moment to share views or to oppose feelings. All tracks are previously unreleased. For the Magma to ice CD, the aim is to create a passage from extreme cold to extreme heat.
Talented Italian ambient composer Alessandro Tedeschi runs the Glacial Movements record label and plays music as Netherworld. His fascination for polar landscapes and soundscapes makes him close to industrial ambient pioneers such as Thomas Köner, Rapoon, Biosphere and Lull. Icy, windy, droning and deeply ³protomelodic² at once, his music is a poetic translation of the ice floe. For this record, he used processed fragments of classical music.
Nadja is the drone / doom / ambient duo of Canadian musicians Aidan Baker and Leah Buckareff. Their behemoth of sound is a construction of heat, weight, loop and vapour. Here, they had to break Netherworld¹s ice and find a way to the red core of Earth. The common track brings heat onto ice, which warms up, crackles and soon melts. As a conclusion, the long piece by Nadja is total heat. This is Nadja ³unrhythmed², which means pure lava.
