The name of the project has not been casually choosed : there is a link between the "sandblasting" mechanical treatment carried out on metal surface covered by rust and the Luca Torasso's project. The SANdBLASTING project is based on the reality that all the human being have a brain for to think and with to act but beacuse of the long time of no use, this vital organ has been covered by a thick of rust that prevent his regular function ( oxydation ). The aim of the SANdBLASTING project is to generate abrasive and violent frequencies that act on the brain of the listener like the quartz powder works on the rusted metal surface. In the 1997 releases his first official track "Abbà Pather" for the ZZZprod compilation. In the 2001 starts his indipendent label called D.s.K. ( Das Sandblaster's Kabinett ) dedited exclusively to the production and distribution of live improvvisation performance without post production process in studio.
