Les expérimentations renversantes de (SIC)... Composé d’un chanteur / claviériste et d’un batteur /multi-instrumentiste /choriste,
le duo a mis à genoux les spectateurs du Berghain. Peu de groupes cette année ont su faire autant partager leur virtuosité et leur sens de la performance scénique.
Ce n’est pas tant l’intensité constante et rageuse du batteur (Julian Bonequi), ou sa capacité à napper le son d’une basse gutturale et
lourde qui a fait mouche ; ce n’est pas non plus la capacité du chanteur (Rodrigo Ambriz) à créer avec sa bouche une extraordinaire
variété de sons (chants d’oiseaux et autres noises buccaux, arias enlevés et râles terrifiants) qui a impressionné. C’est bien
leur sens aigu de la construction d’un concert qui a emporté le public de bout en bout. Tour à tour groupe de métal hardcore,
expérimentateurs sonores (archet + polystyrène + Berghain = bonheur) ou interprètes néoclassique, (SIC) a su proposer un concert qui,
à lui seul, poserait un véritable problème à celui qui souhaiterait le caser dans un genre particulier."

"A form of bodily communication that circumvents the laws and limits of the lingüistic sphere and reveals the materiality of language from within...
// SIC performing at VOLTA"

"Wildly attractive and rotund... of course with all the subtleties of the case..."
Llorenç Barber, 2014

"The wild experimentation, the raw frequencies, the delirious sound, the organic and
inorganic dark beat based on improvisation , all of this is represented by the duet described as the most insane,
extreme and brutal in the history of experimental music in Mexico. His music has played in museums and
underground forums of the country and abroad. They are a bestiality in live."

FILTER MEXICO:
"... with (SIC) the things were taking a towering form
with which they ended up collapsing everything that was in their step way with guttural practices that without complications are positioning
them as one of the best noise acts of our country"
_______________________________
MeloMagazine:
"... the project of (SIC) exorcised the respectable audience with its live act of visceral noise out of the ordinary,
and what appears to be pure experimentation actually seems to us as a millimetric calculation of each sound included in its sound exploration
that provokes the bowels of the public."
_______________________________
WARP:
"followed by (Sic), who impressed the public with a harsh noise that appeals to catharsis"
_______________________________
Wild Brunch:
"(SIC) - a project with an exceptional sound design -, drums and voices that are combined with few subtle effects
and which make us feel the power of a noise-metal band separated from distortion gadgets. Their sound is worked in layers until they arrive
to the dark climax of sound exploration and percussive precision with a lot of brutal voices.

Thump Vice:
"In a festival like in Nrmal there is always room for experiments that would hardly find place in a celebration like this.
This year (SIC) is definitely that act that is endowed with enough rarity to be the great surprise of the whole festival. It is about
a duet that contains all that the wild word could mean and mix it with terribly dark, aggressive and insane beats
which are born of an improvisation that evokes the darkest of national music. Sometimes tremendous explosions of uncontrollable noise and sometimes
verses recited as poems with a special cadence, the music of (SIC) is that which is heard tenebrous at first listening but that results
fascinating as one delves deeper into it. No festival would seem to have room for them once they meet and this opportunity in
the Nrmal is the one to communicate with the most strange, bizarre, grotesque, aggressive and obscure word of the national music."

NoFM Radio:
"... they won my heart. Even though I hate being afraid, I do not understand anything in the world without fear:
fear to be, to see, to see others. (SIC) was terrifying, and in one way or another, his set at some point seemed loving and tender.
And almost at the end, I knew why... all his participation was dedicated to the dead of all, and I could not stop sighing and thinking that it was also
dedicated to all of us dead, which made me scream with emotion. It was truly beautiful."

La Vida Útil:
"(SIC)... are characterized by their strong sonic charges, mainly only with voice and drums; both are already legends of the improvisation circuit
of mexican experimental music, an act to the willing of the unintelligible and ineffable experiences. Scrambled drum shots coupled with Bonequi's
slow-and-profound voice in contrast with the one of Ambriz that usually transits at full speed declaiming guttural exercises of raw frequencies or what comes to him
in mind at the time, sometimes as if their linguistic processes were contrary to everything established ... and next to the possessed songs
its presentation becomes in a rite to celebrate the disinhibition of any classification. One of the most intriguing acts of the festival,
because you never know what to expect from the duo"

Bizarro FM:
"... the distortions, processed noises and so much trash, caused the glance of the eyes to remain fixed towards (Sic). This band of extreme improvisation
and experimental music began to interpret sounds that explode; at first you think they have no sense. As the
presentation advanced everything corresponds to understand that (SIC) wanted to take you to a cave to get all that fury, that suspicion, that accumulated energy
, and even that love. Almost without pauses they surrendered devotees and the audience empathized with them. Emotive moment..."

"... for real the instrument is the human being. Instruments are just an element, but the human being is the vehicle. Our bet is for that being that expresses,
feels and explodes, but not by the technology, the tool or the toys..."
