Started in 1990 as a solo project of Eraldo Bernocchi, Sigillum S founder member. The basic idea was to produce works that would be out of context for Sigillum S, as Ashes is a very personal project, based on a strong individual introspection. After some time it has been developping its own identity, remaining at the same time an open situation. Mainly based on the guitar treatments, which are often used as a mantra for newly born mind paths, Ashes now as its line up. Different musicians are collaborating with; the use of electronics together with the use of natural sounds as stones or stalagmites organs, and acustic instruments as saxophone or violin. Technology used as tool for new environments. Ashes in now working on the forthcoming new cd "All waters have the drowning colour" together with Bill Laswell and Rino from Almamegretta.
