about

ATARAXIA are travelling musicians inspired by their geographical and inner voyages in places still owning the charge of centuries. We have grown-up in mediaeval burgs and we feel to be like crossroads among the Mediterranean and Celtic cultures, a land of struggle and meeting. We define us as 'craftsmen of the sound' because we create an unusual mix of sacred and profane, ethereal and experimental, contemporary and early music. We made researches into the European legends crossing the Greek and Latin myths. Contemplation, dream experiences, twilight elegiac atmospheres, ritual movements float in the mysterious garden of Psyche and Desire where new textures of notes meet the embracing echo of classic sounds, our peculiarity is mingling acoustic instruments with contemporary ones, synths and pads. Our lyrics have been written in many ancient and contemporary languages as we feel to bring to surface the hidden treasures and revelations that each language owns.
ATARAXIA’s best performances take place in fascinating natural or architectural environments where magic flows as it happened in the primordial drama. The stones and the water speak to us.
During our live-acts we explore and travel with our listeners in primeval kingdoms.
We have a medianic attitude towards creation that's the way to express the divine substance surrounding the living beings, we feel like vibrating channels that can translate and express the energy around us. We walk along a path that finds its origins in very far times. The Ancient Spirits are still speaking .
