Description:

Daniele Brusaschetto spent his teens playing with hardcore and trash/death metal bands, then he got involved with Mudcake (noise-rock / sick-jazz) and Whip (dark-rock / industrial). At the same time he was also part of the situationist / avantgarde improvisers Down! All these groups lasted too short to be remembered by the public.

Since the mid 90s he started to play and record as a solo artist. His first 7" vinyl EP "Paturnie" was published in 1996. The next year he gave life to ZZZ Productions, the label released his debut CD album "Bellies/Pance".

American label RRR co-produced "Bellies/Pance" and the following CD "Mamma fottimi" (1999). His third album entitled "Bluviola" (2001) was also released in the USA by Radon Studio.

His fourth solo CD entitled "Poesia totale dei muscoli" (Total Poetry of Muscles) was released by his newest label Bosco Rec in collaboration with Bar La Muerte and Radon Studio. "Mezza luna piena" (Half full-moon) was released during summer 2005 by Bosco Rec and Bar La Muerte.

Bosco Rec has also released his latest CD album "Circonvoluzioni" in winter 2007, while Blossoming Noise has recently published a stunning collection of brutal remixes he did for OvO.

Benny Braaten is better known as B9 and Origami Galaktika. This project saw the light during Christmas 1994 when Benny recorded what was to become the first LP "Stjernevandring" in cooperation with his younger brother Kjell Øyvind.

Origami Galaktika is one of the more prolific underground ambient acts to rise out of Norway, alongside names like Deathprod and Biosphere.

Having toured both Europe and America with acts such as The Legendary Pink Dots, B9 is a lot more than just some guy sitting in his room with a sampler.

Famed for utilizing sound sources from obscure places like Estlandic caves and Norwegian glaciers, B9's music is as unclassifiable as it is unique, yet it has a strong identity of its own.

Origami Galaktika's music was released on labels such as Black Orchid Productions, Speeding Across My Hemisphere, Staalplaat, Jester Records, Vendlus, Purple Soil and many others.

"Db9" is a collaborative album between Daniele and Benny delving in noise territory, here's a few words about it by Daniele brusaschetto himself:

"I got to know Benny by mail sometimes during the '90s and in January 1998 we shared the stage for the first time in Turin, Italy. In October 2004 Benny was in Italy again to play gigs as Origami Galaktika, he stayed at my place for a few days and on such occasion we recorded "Db9". For this work Mr. Origami fed a bass guitar and some field-recordings to various pedals/effects, I recorded the session and subsequently manipulated the result. The title stands for "Daniele Brusaschetto Benny" as his name is spelled just like "b9" in Norvwegian."
