Bad Sector
Bad Sector is an ambient/noise project formed in 1992 in Tuscany, Italy by . While working at the Computer Art Lab of ISTI in Pisa (one of the CNR institutes), he developed original gesture interfaces that he uses in live performances: 'Aerial Painting Hand' (a device that tracks the position of the musician's hands in gloves of two different colors),[1] 'UV-Stick' (an ultraviolet-illuminated stick that the musician moves in front of the camera—a computer reads its position and angle and makes changes to music generation algorithms accordingly),[2] and others.
Bad Sector's music is considered a mixture of ambient, noise, industrial music, minimal and experimental music.[3] Magrini himself describes it as "deeply emotional dark ambient noise".[4] Common themes (as reflected in album and track titles) include microbiology, algorithms, physics, and space exploration.
