Biography
My Dear Killer is the name of more than one artist:
1) alias of Stephano Bama
2) dark electro
1) My Dear Killer was born in the middle of the nineties as project aimed at collecting minimalist song-writing, stratified on a mesh of noise, ambient and field recordings. The songs are built around few fragile chords and whispered vocals, all drowned in a sea of feedback, and they are intended to be listened on (possibly biased) audiocassette, ideally in a parked car, by a frozen lake. From 2000 and onward My Dear Killer has recorded several demo-tapes, but the first LP, “Clinical Shyness” (Boring Machines BM01, Under My Bed UMB#02), was released only in 2006 despite having being recorded a few years earlier. Boring Machines released a series of mini-CDr under the moniker My Dear (Serial) Killer, which contained some left out and alternative takes from Clinical Shyness recording sessions and some songs appeared on compilations and other lost supports. My Dear Killer also featured in two split double single, pressed as 7”, the first with Prague (Eaten By Squirreles EBS#1) pressed in 2004 and successively, the second with Rella the woodcutter (BM033), pressed in 2011. In 2012, Under My Bed, released Cynical Quietness, which is the first complete piece of work since Clinical Shyness, as part of split series Cinque Pezzi Facili, which also features Tettu Mortu.
