Bad Sector is a musical project created in Italy by Massimo Magrini (born in 1966, Lucca). Bad Sector's music is considered a mixture of ambient and industrial music, a mix of electronic experimentation and usually dark emotions. Magrini himself describes it as "deeply emotional dark ambient noise". Common themes (as reflected in album and track titles) include microbiology, algorithms, physics, and space exploration. Magrini has collaborated for long time with the Computer Art Lab of ISTI-CNR in Pisa (one of the institutes by CNR - National Research Institute of Italy) releasing original gesture interfaces to be used in many live performances.
