Biography

Maurizio Bianchi is an Italian pioneer of industrial music, originally inspired by the music of Tangerine Dream, Conrad Schnitzler, and Throbbing Gristle. Bianchi worked as a reviewer for Italian music magazines before beginning to release his own cassettes under the name of Sacher-Pelz in August 1979. He released four cassettes as Sacher-Pelz before switching to his own name or simply “MB.” During that time, he corresponded with many artists from the industrial music and noise music scenes including Merzbow, GX Jupitter-Larsen, SPK, Nigel Ayers of Nocturnal Emissions, and William Bennett of Whitehouse.
