Ataraxia

Ataraxia is an Italian neoclassical dark wave band founded by Francesca Nicoli and Michele Urbano. At the beginning of it's activity there were numerous lineup changes, but the basic roster has been cemented as Francesca Nicoli, Vittorio Vandelli, and Giovanni Pagliari.They say they have dedicated their lives to art, to explore the nobleness of centuries in many possible ways (music, poetry, theatre, and photography). They define themselves as "craftsmen of the sound" because they create an unusual mix of sacred and profane, atmospheric and experimental, contemporary and early music, using acoustic and electric instruments as well.
