Ataraxia
Ataraxia is an Italian group from Modena, formed by singer Francesca Nicoli and Michele Urbano and associated with neoclassical dark wave and neofolk. The band combines programming and modern technology with archaic acoustic instruments, and its lyrics often draw on nature and ancient cultures. Its long-standing core is Nicoli, guitarist Vittorio Vandelli and keyboardist Giovanni Pagliari. Ataraxia self-released its early recordings, among them Prophetia and Nosce Te Ipsum. Later albums include Paris Spleen (2006), Spasms and Ena (2015).
