IL CASTELLO DI ATLANTE will be recording a live video and audio on 24 tracks for a future DVD on Electromantic Music.
"TRA LE ANTICHE MURA" is our 7th CDs. It's out from "ELECTROMANTIC MUSIC" on the "PROG ITALIANO " sub-label.
We've been approaching the tunes as they were real books, each one with its own world, linked to each other by the reader's intention.
“Our reader” listens and feels the music that’s on the album, while he's reading the books.
He's imagining the music in the same way a reader imagine the scene that's suggesting the book he's reading.
Like "Pictures at an exhibition" we find a main theme that portraits the "Promenade" of the reader, while he's looking for the next book.
The tunes
TRA LE ANTICHE MURA
(into the old walls)
Into our "virtual castle” we get back to our ideal space, ... the kingdom of our serenity and fulfillment, where we can open our hearts and free our minds.
MALEBOLGE
the way we see Dante's Inferno (Dante Alighieri is the main Italian poet, who wrote the immortal "La Divina Commedia" that's considered the central epic poem of Italian literature, and it is seen as a masterpiece of world literature. It's about the poem's imaginative and allegorical vision of the Christian afterlife: Malebolge is the eighth circle of Hell).
Another Electromantic’s band, "Risonanza Magnetica" is out soon with an entire CD dedicated to Dante Alighieri’s literature: "Andante".

ANCORA SUONARE ANCORA INSIEME
(Playing together, again and again!)
After 10 years, Dino, the original bass player, comes back in the band.
As the band is a group of great, great friends, from the 70's it was a natural thing, to celebrate the event with a new song
LEGGI ED ASCOLTA
(Read and listen)
When you compose a new song, a "new type" of emotion are reaching us and we wanted to share with our audience these fresh new vibrations we get when we put together a new tune!
L’UOMO SOLO
(The lonely man)
The solitude and desperation that's reaching your soul after your "greatest love" has gone. Inspired by another great Italian writer, Pirandello.
PREFAZIONE/EPILOGO
(PREFACE/ENDING)
Portraying the start and the ending of the adventure into a book, or into a new place, in imagination or in reality.
