Italian neoclassical/darkwave band Ataraxia has released a new single and video, "Breath Of Soundrops", from the just-released, via Rune Serpent Europa, compilation album The Five Senses. "Breath Of Soundrops" features Francesca Nicoli on vocals and lyrics, Vittorio Vandelli on classical guitar and programming, and Giovanni Pagliari on keyboards.
The band comments: "The light of the Tao entered into ecstatic connection with the night of the Tao. Duality united creating the perfect circle. The night of the Tao fell asleep and the light of the Tao welcomed its breath. A dream was born. The night in communion with the light dreamt of a boat on a lake with soft and delicate colours where the two experienced a deep peace. The energy of the Tao produced waves spiralling everywhere like circles in the water. The water was the quantum field beyond space-time. The title of this song is the essence of that dream: the breath, the lake drops and the sound born from this mystical union."
The Five Senses compilation is a tribute to Italian painter Saturno Butto. The compilation features previously unreleased tracks from artists including The Magus, Lisa Hammer, Ataraxia, Schatten Muse, Amphoterism, Phobia Effect, Elder Futhark, Experiment Death Patient, Staat Und Organisation, Puppe Magnetik, Regard Extreme, Stabat Mortii and Kathodos.
