SIGILLUM S will be at Tower Transmissions, in Dresden, September 12/13, 2025, and will perform on Friday, September 12, presenting a 40th anniversary exclusive concert.
The
set will start with a selection from the most recent 2025 album, “ABORTED
TOWNS, THE DEADLY SILENCE BEFORE UTOPIA”, to then morph into “AN IMAGINED STATE
OF THINGS WHERE EVERYTHING IS PERFECT”, a completely new work, to be executed
live for the first and only time that night.
“AN
IMAGINED STATE OF THINGS WHERE EVERYTHING IS PERFECT” is also going to be
physically and exclusively available at Tower Transmissions, as a limited,
numbered edition of 30 copies of a specially produced vinyl 12”.
This
new work will showcase a radically different side of SIGILLUM S, aggressively
peaking the current quest for post-apocalyptic redefinition of audio and
conceptual parameters: organic icons and rhythmic synchronization are now
layering each other into compressed outbursts of electronic noise and
asymmetric structures, spilling out the fragmented seeds of Shangri-La.
“
… embodiment of new time logic, where entropy feeds itself into a new form of
knowledge: sound pushed to its pure essence to engulf and enhance historical
perspective … contamination left over from a detonation that filled the
universe at the beginning of its existence, translated into dynamic narrative
of shifting landscapes and perverted stories during gloomy stretches … uniformity,
acumen and the esthetics of immensity, when drones merge with beats and the primordial
yawn before Big Bang … “
Copies
of “ABORTED…” various formats, together with other older releases and some new
merch items will be available too.
“…
work of fiction and socio-political satire, Utopia is derived from the Greek
prefix "ou-" (οὔ), meaning "not", and topos (τόπος),
"place", with the suffix -iā (-ίᾱ) that is typical of toponyms; the
name literally means "nowhere"… insistence on the existence of an
afterlife and punishment for people holding contrary views were inconsistent
with the essentially materialist view… Raphael meaning (in Hebrew) "God
has healed" suggests that Raphael may be opening the eyes of the reader to
what is true…. spectacle of bloodshed as reflective of More's own anxieties
about the fragility of humanity … treatment of human-animal relations as
significant ethical concerns intertwined with religious ideas of salvation and
the divine qualities of souls…”
