(2007) Khvarena is a journey across time and countries, into the ethno-ambient / heavenly voices realm from which spirits will arise. A striking encounter between Italian maestro Francesco Banchini (Ataraxia / Gor) and France's Jeanne & Fabrice Lefebvre (Rajna). The first steps of a journey from the European continent to the countries of the Middle East: lush and majestic at times, ritual and devotional at others, and sometimes festive and cathartic. A myriad of ethnic instruments accompany the intertwined vocals of Jeanne and Francescot. This is music of brightness, color and emotion with rapturous Arabic overtones. This 1st edition is released in a hand-numbered edition of 1000 copies presented in a recycled DVD Digipak.
O QUAM TRISTIS - 'Funerailles Des Petit Enfants' CD (Palace Of Worms)
(2000) Debut from this French act. "Funérailles des Petits Enfants", provides an eclectic mix between choral chants of deeply religious / ecclesiastical content and ethnic/medieval music with an electronic edge that sets the project in a contemporary setting. Traces of Dead Can Dance pop to mind, as well as Enigma, Rosa Crvx, Opera Multi Steel, Rajna, Bel Canto or Les Sécrets de Morphée. A very original, diverse and refreshing release!
