Biography

Parma, Italy (1980 – present)

Kirlian Camera was founded by the keyboardist/vocalist Angelo Bergamini in Parma, Italy in Spring 1980.

The band really was born in 1979, called Suicide Commando, but this name was dropped for the existence of a namesake band. So, when Bergamini started to interest to paranormal phenomena, he knew about a special device invented by Semion Kirlian to take photos of the aura of the human body and from this took the name of the group, suggested by Mauro Montacchini.

Other initial components of the band were the keyboardist Fabrizio Chiari and the bassist Mauro Montacchini. In 1980 the singer Simona Buja joined the band and the group was completed.

The first live apparition was in 1980 at Teatro Cristallo in Milan (Italy).

Considered the Fathers of the Italian Electronic Music, the long career of Kirlian Camera started recording and sending 25 copies of the Dawn tape to the main Italian labels.

Contemporary, Montacchini left the band and he was replaced by Giorgio Vecchi. So the band records the first miniLP Kirlian Camera, released by Italian Records.

New changes of line-up in 1982: Fabrizio Chiari left the band to join East Wall, and his substitute is the polistrumentist Paul Sears, while Bruno Bizzarri replaced Vecchi.

Meanwhile some records for various labels follow (note that Passing Masks was released under the name of Simona Buja because the band was still contracted with Italian Records) and finally the first full-length LP, It Doesn’t Matter, Now, from which will be out two singles.

    I don't like her voice too much. I prefer the old band, before 2000, and I don't really care what Angelo thinks. [4]

    Like the olderish stuff... Blue Room, The Desert Inside, Solaris... but not feeling Nightglory too much right now. Maybe I will grow to appreciate it, maybe I wont. I'll just stick to the older stuff so I can eventually graduate from Kirlian class.

    I think Angelo is being insincere. He just likes Elena too much, that's all.

    @Valaya, gladly, Angelo certainly doesn't care what you think.

    "old Kirlian Camera"? Nope: «I consider the first 20 years of this band a kind of `preparatory training`, as the real band was born in 2000, when singer/composer Elena Alice Fossi joined the band and, with her invaluable help I started to succeed in making the music I really like.» © Angelo
