Ataraxia is an ensemble that, since several years, works in the balance between avant-garde and tradition, writing music, setting up performances and giving concerts consisting of several art forms like theatre, poetry, painting and dance in castles, squares, parks, concert halls, and theatres all over Europe and Latin America. We define ourselves 'craftsmen of the sound' becuase of the wild, chaotic mix of sacred and profane, early and contemporary, neoclassic and experimental kind of music we create. We feel like ‘travelling ministrels’ inspired by the inner and geographical voyages we make in places that still preserve the charge of centuries and the mistery of history. Walking along old paths and listening to the call of the stone we become a sort of ‘crossroad’ between the Mediterranean and Celtic culture. We make researches and write music about European legends, Greek and Latin myths. Our lyrics are written in several ancient and contemporary languages, we try to give a musical shape to the hidden treasures and revelations that each language owns. Contemplation, dream experiences, twilight and elegiac atmospheres, ritual movements and our memories float in the mysterious garden of Psyche and Desire where envelopping textures of notes meet the echo of acoustic and contemporary instruments. Four ministrels paint whimsical landscapes that open passages to enter far-off dimensions and enable deep emotional exchanges. We walk along a path that has its origins in very far times. The Ancient Spirits are still speaking.
