I have a large collection of bands photos I shoot for magazines or personal use, I plan to send some here. Some info about the Italian band ATARAXIA for my friends here... _____________________________________ ""ATARAXIA : Evanescent Warriors and Wandering Clerics Source: http://nicolar.free.fr/ataraxia.htm ATARAXIA is an absolute tension, a way of affording life and experience in a receptive way with the aim of contemplation and enlightenment. The followers of Epicure (in the Hellenistic philosophic era) considered ATARASSIA a lack of inner turmoils, a spiritual balance reached after a deeply lived material and spiritual experience, often a hard painful one. CONTEMPLATION is a hard state of perfection to reach in its plenitude so we try to converge our instincts, needs, egoisms and enthusiasms in the act of creation that's music. The knowledge of the man, the relativity of everything, the importance of creating are the basis of our way and research. In our creative world the passion for the Greek/Latin culture and its philosophical world has a great importance. Through music we portray the traditions and ancestral imaginary of these cultures that are a never ending source of inspiration. Musically, we began from an odd mixture of sacred and profane, Medieval and experimental, Baroque and Bohemian, contemporary and ancient. As long as the years went by we approached a sort of Atmospheric NeoBaroque genre that visually can be associated to Greenaway's art, a contemporary jump into a rebuilt past. Amplification of colours and forms, sequences of darkness and light, a babelic echoing, the inheritage of history, trobadoric, Middle Ages, Renaissance airs, an odd classicism, funny, severe, whipping, icy arrangements and voices.

Francesca visits Greece quite often.
Yes Ataraxia, always create a magical atmosphere. Lorenzo (the Comedia Del'Arte dancer) always is on stage with different clothes and is a great topic for photos. Ataraxia have songs with energy or simple romantic guitar songs (like "Elenen"). I like both kinds.
