About
Bruno Cossano's sonic assault began in Ivrea, 1982. A brief yet brutal tenure. Eight releases, mostly on cassette, etched his name into the power electronics pantheon. Cossano's work was raw, confrontational. "Debacle" (1983), released through Recloose Organisation, slammed the industrial scene with its abrasive textures and distorted vocals, carving a niche in the early '80s chaos. "Saffo's Pleasures" (1986) on Bruno Cossano Corporation was a visceral exploration, pushing tape manipulation and field recordings into new realms of hostility. His collaborations with Murder Release and Recloose Organisation were not mere partnerships. They were declarations of intent. Cossano didn't just make noise; he constructed harsh soundscapes that left listeners reeling. Each release a testament to his unrelenting vision. He existed alongside acts like Mauthausen Orchestra and Le Syndicat but never in their shadow. Cossano's tapes, often limited and elusive, are sought by collectors who understand the cathartic release of pure sonic aggression. For those in the know, Bruno Cossano represents a fleeting yet significant chapter in power electronics history. An era when the underground truly meant underground.
