From December
2007, thanks to the collaboration of three talented photographers,
six translators and a very engaged designer, we have focused
our creative efforts to the release of a new opus in our multimedia
tradition.
"Oil on Canvas" is a 96 pages book (14,5 x 14,5
cm, full-colour hard cover) featuring three different chapters
dedicated to three inspired photographers with whom we share
inspiration and passion for music. The photos follow three
different paths: the first one, with photos by Raffaella Graziosi,
is dedicated to ancient Italian houses in ruins, nobleness
and beauty confronted with decay; the second, with photos
by Mick Mercer, features enigmatic statues standing in wonderful
English gardens and parks; the third, with photos by Livio
Bedeschi, is dedicated to Mediterranean landscapes, nature
and wilderness. Each image is married with Francesca Nicoli's
verses and lyrics (in her mother-tongue Italian and translated
into English by Giovanni Pagliari and Francesca Nicoli, French
by Nicolas Ramain, Spanish by Araceli Cabrero Castel, German
by Daisy Steinert and Portuguese/Brasilian by Pedro Georges
Eleftheriou) and to Ataraxia's music as a collection album,
featuring 14 tracks (taken from all their repertory - but
not present in other collection albums -, from V. Vandelli's
solo album + 1 exclusive track and 1 rarity) is included.
This opus is a tribute to photographic art, far-off places
and landscapes that so deeply inspired our creative journey
and music. The release is produced by Ultramail Prod., a label
from Hong Kong specialized in collector's items. It is released
in ONLY 800 copies.
The first 100 copies are contained in a box and feature a
collection of 12 postcards (among them, the first 48 copies
contain a further unique card each) and a poster. The further
700 standard copies consist of the hard-cover book with CD
included (in a six panel digipack case) + 3 postcards all
put in a slipcase. If you are interested in the standard collector's
version you can directly contact our mailorder at
pando@misterweb.it.
Watch out: we only own a limited quantity of copies.
CD : 1 exclusive new track, 1 rare track + 12 digitally remastered
songs taken from several Ataraxia's past album and from Vittorio
Vandelli's solo CD (total length around 70 mn). Dreamy, fairy
and neo-classical atmospheres.
