Abyssal Plains is the latest musical project of London-based producer, Maurizio Giambrone.
Typically tagged as Ambient/IDM, or Chill-out; abyssal plains draws influences from many genres from techno to soundtracks and classical music. The tracks range from atmospheric, dreamy chill-out tracks combined with subtle melodies to more beat-driven pieces.
After a break from music, enthused by the possibilities provided by the internet and software-based music creation tools, Maurizio returned in 2006 and under the alias ‘Abyssal Plains’, posted a couple of tracks on myspace. One of these tracks, the Balearic-chill style track ‘Daybreak in Roatan’ caught the attention of Nik Racine, the owner of the kahvi netlabel, who approached with the offer of releasing material on his label.
To date, one album, Fourth quadrant of the mandala has been released independently as a digital download, available on iTunes, amazon and other online retailers. Also three eps, Chimera, Hemispherical Sky and Pictures in Sound, have been released on kahvi and are available under the Creative Commons license as a free download .
