More Info

"Hardcoverbook + CD. Each copy will have an hand written number from 1 up to 800. This item will include a 96-page hardcover book (48 full color photos pages + 48 texts pages). Hardcover size will be 14.5cm x 14.5 cm . This is a collection album containing 13 songs taken from the band's already existing CD's plus 1 song recorded specially for this release. From Autumn 2007, thanks to the collaboration of three talented photographers, six translators and a very engaged designer, Ataraxia have focused their creative efforts to release a new opus in their multimedia tradition. "Oil on Canvas" is a 96 pages book (14,5 x 14,5 cm, full-colour hard cover) featuring three different chapters dedicated to three inspired photographers with whom the band shares inspiration and passion for music. The photos follow three different paths: the first one, with photos by Raffaella Graziosi, is dedicated to ancient Italian houses in ruins, nobleness and beauty confronted with decay; the second, with photos by Mick Mercer, features enigmatic statues standing in wonderful English gardens and parks; the third, with photos by Livio Bedeschi, is dedicated to Mediterranean landscapes, nature and wilderness. Each image is married with Francesca Nicoli's verses and lyrics (in her mother-tongue Italian and translated into English, French, Spanish, German and Portuguese) and to Ataraxia's music consisting of a collection album featuring 14 tracks (taken from all their repertory - but not present in other collection albums -, from V. Vandelli's solo album + 1 exclusive track and 1 rarity). This opus is a tribute to photographic art, far-off places and landscapes that so deeply inspired the bands creative journey and music."
