Aborted Towns, The Deadly Silence Before Utopia

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. Having toured extensively throughout Europe and Canada in the early part of their career, the result has been an endless series of evolution, from the droning ritualism and ethnic explorations of the late '80s through to the surreal science fiction soundtracks of the '90s, to the super deep complexity of the new millennium. 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.
