Angelo Bergamini founded the Kirlian Camera first incarnation in Spring 1980, with a help from some close friends and singer Simona Buja. Debut gig was held a few weeks later, on the occasion of the Italian Gay Pride party. First demo-tape immediately leds KC to sign to Italian Records, an independent but largely popular label (later on distributed by EMI and BMG. Artists: Tuxedomoon, Throbbing Gristle and many others) that released their debut vinyl in Christmastime, 1981. The EP, despite low-budget production, immediately went sold-out and was promptly re-issued, selling more than 6000 copies in a few time. After a while, it begins a kind of a non-stop movement of personnel. Simona herself continuously gives up and rejoins the line-up. Meantime, Angelo starts working with Hipnosis, a new disco-wave/techno-pop project which gets the platinum award for the sales in Germany just a few weeks later, even reaching the international charts top-10 with the single “Pulstar” in many Countries (Spain, Benelux, Greece, Brazil, etc.).
This adventure won’t last that much though, as after releasing a successful album and a couple of new hit-singles, Angelo left the band so to keep on working full-time with Kirlian Camera, which definitely becomes his preferred project by far. Suddenly, he signs an agreement to Virgin Records (first Italian band ever) releasing two successful singles with a help from Allan Goldberg (producer of Yes, Richie Havens and many others), throughout two years. In 1988, Simona definitely leaves the band, just a bit before they’re flying to London in order to meet producer John Fryer (This Mortal Coil, Depeche Mode, Nine Inch Nails, M/A/R/R/S, etc) so to finish the recordings of the 2nd album “Eclipse (Das Schwarze Denkmal”), whose same-titled song becomes one of the band’s most successful anthems ever. Temporary singers Bianca Hoffmann-Santos and Suzanne Reddington-Gardner are replaced two years later by Emilia Lo Jacono, that becomes one of the official vocalists. Former member Graziano “Charlie” Mallozzi produces Robbie Williams’s Take That debut single. Former member Paul David Sears produces several dance popular projects such as Whigfield. Former member Kampah directs the U2 videoclip of “Even better than the real thing (collage version)”, later on going to collaborate with Ridley Scott for “Black Hawk Down”. Angelo opts for quite an unexpected decision: leaving pop-music area to join international underground/avantgarde scene. He self-produces the third album “Todesengel. The Fall of Life”, a more experimental chapter which is becoming soon a cult-hit. Sales go over expectations and the band signs to German label Discordia in 1993, while the trade-mark “neofolk” often appears to identify them, even if a bit too superficially, since their music keeps on sounding largely electronic, whether monumental and intimate it is at once.
After some film-soundtracks, tours and several releases (mainly mini-albums, but three full-length issues came out as well), KC goes to sign to Nova Tekk, releasing a brilliantly successful album, a 2-CD collection titled “The Ice Curtain”. A new singer, Barbara Boffelli, goes to help for a while the official line-up and the outgoing Lo Jacono both on stage and in studio, but the most impressive meeting comes around 2000… when Angelo, just during an uneasy moment and while looking for a definitive and full-time singer, becomes acquainted of Elena Alice Fossi, a very young and talented Italian singer/composer/writer coming from the dark-punk scene, protйgй of the singer Susanna Rigacci (already known for her collaborations as a lead vocalist with several prestigious composers, above all Ennio Morricone: “Arena Concerto”, for instance). The two become close collaborators and start working side by side intensely. The first result of such a powerful partnership, the album “Still Air”, comes out in the same year for a small independent label distributed via SPV, going to be largely appreciated by international music critics. Angelo and Elena Alice immediately start working on a side-project called Stalingrad, sounding massively orientated to kinda monumental-symphonic atmospheres and getting some real feedback, as far as sales are concerned (album’s first track becomes the official anthem of the Modena soccer team supporters, as soon as such a team is gonna play its first season in 1st division!). Tirelessly, Elena starts Siderartica project, kinda solo one, giving light to the album “Night Parade”.
Also on stage, now Kirlian Camera are improving sound and image both: an increasing and passionate audience goes to create an amazing atmosphere during their new performances. 2003: the band signs to Trisol Music Group, practically giving shape to the “Kirlian Camera 3”, the best and most powerful incarnation ever as for music and image go, according global opinion all over the music world. One year later, the largely acclaimed album “Invisible Front. 2005” comes out, definitely confirming a clear orientation on the band’s part to rejoining the electro-pop area, which is the most suitable and natural field-of-action always, especially for Angelo. Songs such as “K-Pax”, “The Path Of Flowers” and “Dead Zone In The Sky” turn out to be effective new anthems for the fans, even outclassing the older ones and driving the group to reach the official Independent Charts in several Countries. Elena’s massive contribution to Angelo’s music and lyrics writing really turns out to be a brilliant deal and the duo, supported by new collaborators and friends on stage, goes to increase its live activity, while… once again audience is getting larger and larger, joyfully meeting “its” band with no delay any longer. Elena signs her solo-project Siderartica to Trisol as well, releasing her 2nd album on double Digipak CD, titled “Shapes and colours from the land of God”. The work finally gives more spotlight to SID, which is going to prepare a third issue called “Planned Robotic Advancing” on CD+DVD luxurious packaging, to be out autumn 2006. Whole line-up, in the meantime, has been totally revolutionized: Siderartica, in fact, becomes a all-girls band led by Elena (3 musicians plus 2 performers on stage), while her ex collaborators are officially going to join the KC line-up on tour.
After a couple of “experimental involvements” (as she likes to call that) in the top-class fashion world as a model for popular stylists, Elena exclusively concentrates on music, starting to work on a brand new album with her partner, so, in 2006, Kirlian Camera, two years later and after issueing some acclaimed and exclusive special edition items, go to release the album which has been already considered as the very best in the whole band’s history until now, the surprising “Coroner’s Sun” (Trisol-Soulfood–Sony), a real masterpiece raising the band to electronic music all-time highest top. Album’s special edition of 2000 copies goes sold-out on pre-sale, just in a few hours. The label immediately makes a second special edition in the end of February (to be followed by standard edition on Digipak-CD). Kirlian Camera style remains unrivalled, original and fresher than ever before, due to both the voice of its talented (and beautiful) singer and the sound of its astonishing music plots, made of unusual feelings married to electro, techno and powerful pop-anthems strained with an apocalyptic touch, fearing no comparisons despite several attempts of clonation. The incredible adventure of this damned, unique and – why not – glamourous duo and their “Gladiators of Light” is today shining high in a new and luminous sky! All in all, their most impressive story (not to forget the glorious past, of course) started right a few time ago, along with new millenium’s early lights…
