Sinistri manifesto I. Giving up the intention is the preliminary condition, only the silence is unintentional. The sound is a condition of the silence, thesilence is a condition of the time. We play the silences that wrap around and lie within the sounds. Playing amplified music is taking away sounds to the noise rather than adding sounds to silence. The technique's root is the instantaneous intuition, the discipline requires the destruction of ego, the musical form comes out from a process.
II. You don't have to confuse music with sonology, the main point in music is the time, not the sound. Our music is not constituted from different sounds distributed in a uniform time, but from a single sound that bounces in multiples time. In other words, all the sounds are the same sound, vibrating a countless amount of times, in the state in which all the times are present. (music is the time that exceeds itself)
About our music (music beyond ego)
In a certain way we play concrete music, but we don't use bruitism or pure electronic - that is "non-musical" material - to make music, we use elements and techniques from rock music tradition as source material to make "non-music". We take away each elements of expressiveness from music properly "expressive" as rock or blues, giving a "neutral objectivity" to music styles that, by definition, are never "objective". We don't operate the deduction of meaning through mechanical or digital process, but through a discipline that allowing us to give up our ego.
Sinitri Sinistri, formerly known as Starfuckers, is an experimental music unit based in Italy. Starting from an original, raw, minimal and high power approach to the rock language, they soon developed a personal direction exploring the space between proto-punk, black roots and contemporary classical music. Sinistri is a trio who uses electric, electronic and acoustic instruments, operating under the principles of intuitive music, exploiting asyncrony and non-metrical rhythms. Sinistri's music comes out from an evolving process and appears like a steady aperiodic pulsation which filters, through a minimal rock perspective, archetypal prototypes and elements from jazz, funk, blues, concrete and electro-acoustic music.
