======================================

We are being silenced
But Silence is a Crime
We swallow the depth of our soul

With Decades of rootlessness
Simply stay with the images
 As we are going to demolish the old
To abandon all dead symbols
We bring death to our “self” as we empty ourselves of lifeless signage
They are only dead symbols
Simply stay with the emptiness until new images emerge
Until they speak again
Language ends
And music begins
As images
Symbols as they are
Not symbols as we want them to be
Through the night sea journey of Death & Renewal
There arises a towering figure of death, from which archetypal materials awaken
Until we are no longer silent
Until the ritual

Becomes the message

======================================

This is the 4th edition of Kill The Silence Festival, jointly presented by Re-Records, Day's Eye Records & LUFF (Lausanne Underground Film & Music Festival)!

This year, we are expanding the festival to a week-long event, with live concerts, audio-visual performance, film screenings, exhibition and artist talk.
