    Biography

    ATARAXIA is an Italian ensemble of artists who explore and create music, poetry and visual art and who dedicated their lives to the ‘act of creation’. We are travelling musicians inspired by our geographical and inner voyages in places still owning the charge of centuries, our music is an arrow fired by cosmic forces towards the multiverse 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. Our artistic aim is shifting from the earthly duality towards the One, a sort of alchemic transmutation leading to an energetic order. We define us as 'craftsmen of the sound' becuase 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, meditative and hypnotic states 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. Our lyrics have been written in many ancient and contemporary languages, we need to bring to surface the hidden treasures and revelations that each language owns, the so-called enchantment.
