performance for vocals, piano and classical guitar featuring
new arrangements and interpretations previously released on
the double CD Ataraxia + Autunna et sa Rose "Odos Eis Ouranon
- La via per il cielo"(2005).
NEW
EDITIONS - NEW LAYOUTS - DIGITALLY MASTERED SOUND - 11 SONGS
After 4 years and a half from the release of
"Odos Eis Ouranon - La via per il cielo", a double
CD splitted with the Italian band Autunna et sa Rose, ATARAXIA
have decided to re-release their unique acoustic performance
featuring rare, old and unreleased songs played with new arrangements
in an essential evidence of crystalline purity, in a Cd called
"Strange Lights" that was the name of their part of
the previous 2005 album and of that peculiar performance lit
up by Angelo Zanella's enigmatic copper masks. This release
is meant to reach people from America and Russia offering an
acoustic sound that, thanks to the recent digital mastering,
can communicate, in the best way, all its evoking magic and
poetry.
"At the beginning of 2005, in an ancient
place where the stone speaks, we weaved tangible visions with
golden threads and precious gems to offer them to our listeners.
We performed an acoustic session featuring some of our most
meaningful songs in an exclusive version for piano, classical
guitar and vocals.
For this special occasion we chiselled original arrangements
and interpreted with a new sensitivity all the songs. We have
called this special performance " Strange Lights ",
being inspired by the prophetic masks of Angelo Zanella, copper
simulacra treasuring the karma of several living and dead persons
and of some elemental spirits. Angelo took simbolically part
to the rite of music by lighting the candles hidden inside each
sculpted face. He lit up their eyes. And music came !
The plucked and struck strings, the vibration of the air produced
by the flutes, bells and vocals created a peculiar harmony.
A naked, essential sound, deeply evocative in its purity, became
our way to the heavens..." Ataraxia,
2005
