CIGNO
Buonanotte Berlinguer

Cigno is an emerging artist from Rome, delving into the depths of dark ambient, industrial, and ritualistic music. Drawing inspiration from ancient traditions, somber atmospheres, and the emotional landscape of grief and mourning, Cigno crafts a soundscape that is both haunting and captivating.

"Morte e Pianto Rituale" is Cigno's debut album, a work steeped in the themes of death and ritual mourning. The album weaves together layers of deep ambient sounds, atmospheric drones, and percussive elements to create an immersive experience. It stands as a meditation on the solemnity of death, the cycles of loss, and the catharsis found in ritual. Each track builds an evolving soundscape, incorporating elements like field recordings, drone tones, and tribal percussion. Cigno's music invokes an almost cinematic quality, resembling a sonic ritual that guides listeners through the emotional states of grief, introspection, and release.

The ten tracks on the album struggle to fit into the category of pop music and even more so they shy away from the commonly understood song form. “Nada! Nada! Nada!” it is a complex ecosystem where disturbing trip rock coexists with ethnic impulses and mystical moments. Heartbreaking screams punctuated by hypotonic percussion loops, industrial suites full of saturated distortions are then alternated with diabolical chants. Almost a sound psychoanalysis of contemporary society, almost the soundtrack of a Dante's song. CIGNO increases the dose with visionary texts, where he paints frescoes of contemporaneity between a socio-political and economic criticism of the West, up to ascetic verses whispered and sung recited.
Anarchic and against the current, CIGNO's artistic proposal also passes through the cover which symbolically depicts the heretic. The engraving represents the symbol of the human condition.

Contemporary versus tribal. The city empties, the countryside resurfaces. The crumbling contemporary ideals collapse, all is lost. Primitive rituals are exalted.
Dialect dances, esoteric theaters, innocent songs emerge from the echoes of ancient rural civilizations, which belong to us and are just waiting to be awakened. Like shamans they transmigrate into warm lands of solitude, where a swan dies and is reborn every day, trying to redeem the dormant spirits that brood in wandering empty men.

Apocalyptic and haunting bullfight.
Theology of the revolution, music and the proletariat.
In 2022 with "Protestanti" he entered the ranking of the best Italian songs for Rolling Stone. In 2023 he presents industrial “N!N!N!” at the Magnolia club in Milan. In October 2024 “Buonanotte Berlinguer” will be published, the last concrete and spiritual act, between music and socialism.
