ATARAXIA – GALEN (taken from the album CENTAUREA / 2024)

Link to buy: ATARAXIA : Francesca Nicoli - vocals Vittorio Vandelli - classical, acoustic and electric guitars; programming; timpani; back vocals Giovanni Pagliari - keyboards; programming; back vocals Guest musician: Totem Bara - cello GALEN is a forest surrounding a sacred site where a druidess and some druids still operate thanks to their connection to the soul of the trees and animals living here. In this and other sites, ritual magic is practiced to protect “Centaurea”, an uncontaminated island that is still experiencing its Golden Age. This place is also our soul/in our soul, a subtle part of us. Where our body goes our soul goes, where our soul is our body is. Earth, mud, ponds, high clouds, fury and beauty, grass and stars groove our skin in a nocturnal embrace as blue as underwater bluebells. This song, sinuous, hypnotic and mysterious, is a fragment of precious stone reflecting light and shadow. “GALEN” is included in “CENTAUREA”, the new ATARAXIA album out in May 24 2024 for The Circle Music. This album is the second chapter of a trilogy inaugurated with “Pomegranate”.
