"I made many pilgrimages, the flowing water and the ancient stone were my masters, History and Time were my mother and father..."

Everything has its origins in the stone and the stone is at the origin of everything. The stone is a natural element that can be embroidered to create daring architectures or remain massive and impenetrable to the light. ATARAXIA have built the foundations of their manor with that rough material to make them stronger and unaffectable by time. The water, symbol of death, re-birth, eternal rest and regeneration, has become their spiritual guide and has given them the chance to progress, to shape and to transform their art throughout the years. Then, the doors of the realm of dreams have opened to allow them to cross deeper dimensions belonging to an ancestral past and attain contemplation. At the end, walking through a labyrinth leading to a painful and surprising knowledge of themselves, they achieved a new state of enlightenment. What distinguishes a raw stone from a precious one lies in its capacity to be crossed by light and filter it. 'Arcana Eco' is a journey from the rocky underworld up to an eden of light.

Music for endless white landscapes. Alabaster cliffs, the rough thundering sound of the ocean, the flight of sea birds over nuanced surfaces, a deep refreshing sleep under a tree in a rainy summer afternoon.
Some white words, never pronounced, some white emotions, never revealed, white breaths of a lost season.
A concept album containing three long suites inspired by the Norman landscapes where struggle leads to purification and the communion with nature to the abandon of the body armor to get the lightness of birds and the purity of the air.
Classic, synth and bass guitars, textures of keyboards, clarinet, flute and Francesca's voices take the path leading from human suffering to naked contemplation.
In a leave falling, in a wing shivering instant we lived the essence of an infinite spiritual voyage.

A deluxe Digipak double-CD, Limited 2000 copies by two of the leading figures in the Italian Neo-Classical scene, Ataraxia and Autunna et sa Rose.

It was midnight, the midnight tolling; it was October Thursday.
He/She came... a male or rather a female ?
He-She owned the steel shining blue of a silvery pool, he-she was a fleshing vassel going towards the sun, he-she was a ghostly presence in undistinguishes seas, he-she was the moaning of the wind, of the Southern West wind...
The universal had his-her presence, splitting the archetype into a mask of his-her own features. Focalised ivory pyramid, roseate welcome, shake of mahogany, round of senses, magma in fire, artist hands... I was erecting the statue of epidermic marble in symbiotic catharsis to his-her majesty !
Oozed in thousands atoms of atmospheric fine dust he-she owns the apotheosis of light. A male or a female ?
