Notes
Fausto Emiliano Gianni, aka
Arsenic, aka Bon, from Italy, is credited with pushing forward the genres
of trance music using modular synthesis and analog equipment together
with new digital systems. The Bon project was founded in Rome in 1996
to develop psychedelic trance music and has been released on top labels
including Digital Psionics, Pixan and Dharma Kshetra
Arsenic is his darker Project, with
successful tracks already released on compilations from Amaris, Stone
Age, Innersound, Night Oracle, Trip and Manic Dragon.
Manic Dragon is delighted to
present the debut album of Arsenic, inspired by the movies of Akira
Kurasawa and Hayao Miyazaki. A formidable demon tells the story, through
music, of a great city of the future, Caelestia, brought into a world
of darkness by scientists from Arithmetix Laboratories experimenting
on the structure of atomic matter - experiments which went horribly
wrong. One little girl was watching the sky as it flickered red and
white – it was the end of Caelestia, but not the end of the girl
– sound and energy enveloped her and penetrated her soul - she
became the demon who returns to us now to tell her story.
