Aborted Towns, The Deadly Silence Before Utopia [CD]

Sigillum S - Aborted Towns, The Deadly Silence Before Utopia [CD]

Sigillum S have been exploring unknown territories among extreme electronics, fringe acoustics and occultist noise since 1985. With an original line-up of Italian experimental electronic composers Eraldo Bernocchi, Paolo L. Bandera, and Luca Di Giorgio, throughout their 40-year gestation, the noise merchants have worked with musicians including Ain Soph, The Sodality, Gerstein, Iugula-Thor, Out Of Body Experience, Bill Laswell, Zu, Crisis, Thomas Felhmann, Gudrun Gut, Toshinori Kondo, SH Fernando and the Wordsoundcrew, Dive, Colin Edwin, sculptor Milo Sacchi, multimedia artist Petulia Mattioli, and many others. Sigillum S have been constantly evolving. The current formation consists of original members Eraldo Bernocchi and Paolo L. Bandera with the addition of multi-instrumentalist Bruno Dorella and visual artist Petulia Mattioli. On Aborted Towns, The Deadly Silence Before Utopia they continue to develop their own brand of post-industrial audio investigations, employing sound as a tool for mapping the subconscious and a reconfiguration of cognitive processes. Tracks such as "Lemur Agony" and "Forgotten Utopias" exist in an ever-changing continuum of harsh, irregular beats with sudden shifts in experimental atmospheres, while "Permafrost" and "Infective Carnations" are unsettling, decadent electronic mutations. Aborted Towns is more than just music -- it is an architecture of sound, a ghostly residue of memories and echoes. The shifting balance between claustrophobic tension and vast, desolate space invites the listener into a hypnotic, unsettling journey. It lingers, seeps into the subconscious, and refuses to be forgotten. Also available on black (SSR 152LP) and striped color vinyl (SSR 152LTD-LP). 01. Lemur Agony_x000D_ 02.
