about

Digital version of the first official Netherworld album, released on Glacial Movements (GM002) 2007.

MORKETID is a Norwegian term that indicates a certain period in the year when the Arctic winter cold encases everything and the sun doesn’t rise over the horizon. It’s a cold and dark period that distinguishes regions and people living in the Artic. Music is composed using short fragments of sounds found in the Artic area, these are documented and subsequently sampled and then completely transformed into new forms and therefore a new vision of the Arctic.

NETHERWORLD is the moniker of Alessandro Tedeschi, and his soundscapes are mainly composed through extreme manipulations of fragments of classical music and field recordings. Such as the noise of the masses of ice, the sound of the aurora borealis, or the breath of icy wind, recorded directly in the arctic areas of the planet.Coming originally from Rome, NETHERWORLD published several works on various labels such as Fario, Angle Rec, Umbra, and Taalem, The Wire Tapper Series and Glacial Movements, with releases like "Morketid" (2007) , "Over the Summit" (2011) and “ Alchemy of Ice “ (2013).These were again critically acclaimed gems of ambient music. Alessandro Tedeschi is also the creator and owner of Glacial Movements Records in Italy. Over the last few years, the label has received much appreciation and critical acclaim from both the national and international music press. In the catalog of the label, there are the likes of Loscil, Bvdub, Francisco Lopez, Aidan Baker, Celer, Mick Harris/Scorn/Lull, Rapoon, Marsen Jules and many others

REVIEWS:

" ...evoking imaginary places and crystal-like and arctic (a paradox for an Italian author) atmospheres " NEURAL

" Who took the ice from the isolationism? Netherworld " E/I MAG

" “North Pole” and the thirteen-minute “Virgin Lands” are textbook examples of time-suspending isolationist ambient music. " TEXTURA
