The first of two solo discs from Stefano Ferrian, whom you may know from the criminally under-appreciated avant-garde grindcore band Psychofagist. One of Italy's premier outre death/grind acts, Psychofagist has been blowin' my ears out for over half a decade, serving up angular, skronk-infused blast-metal soaked in a heavy John Zorn/Painkiller influence. Amazing stuff, especially the new material that has appeared on that recent split with Antigama. So here we've got Ferrian working alone, constructing some long-form improvisational pieces that are devoid of the metallisms of his main band but which are still working in an extremist mode, blending spirited saxophone melodies and aggressive blurt with dissonant clouds of eerie, ethereal piano, smeared and blurred fragments of deformed electronics and backwards sound, and minimal percussion. On the de-Noise #01 disc, Ferrian offers a short Ep, just one eleven minute track that starts off in that discordant improvisational style, but then a couple of minutes in it suddenly lurches into this weird, lopsided experimental noise rock dirge, with some massive blown-out distorto bass creeping up into the violent slashing sax and howling runs, shifting from a delirious exploration of space and shadow into a grotesque art-rock dirge at the end. Pretty rad, and comes highly recommended to ugExplode/Weasel Walter fans as it's coming from a similar intersection of extreme ear-scraping power-improv, abrasive free-jazz and mutant skuzz-rock. The disc comes in very cool packaging too, housed between two slabs of heavy die-cut cardboard that are held in a printed o-card sleeve with metallic silver foil.
