SEMIOSIS

Semiosis biography
SEMIOSIS are a post-rock project from Craiova, Romania, consisting of the young musicians Alexandru SEIDIU and Şerban ILICEVICI. Childhood friends but at the same time musicians with different backgrounds (hardcore punk for Şerban and electronica for Alex), they got together in 2007 to write the soundtrack for a film that was not to be. After two years of working with interruptions on this project, they released it as an independent album titled Pictural in the spring of 2009. The music consists of traditional melancholic post-rock based on guitar and drums, supplemented with sampling and effects (some added by the guest musician and record producer Marius COSTACHE) which add an extra industrial rock-like dimension to the music. The album was released through the ASILUUM net label and can be obtained as a free download or as a CD with superb artwork. Since the release of Pictural, SEMIOSIS have started playing live and working on a new album.
