EP # ONE by Ataraxic Void

Ataraxic Void
release “EP # ONE”
out on October 28th 2022

” As the release date by now is in gunsight, let us spend just a few words about the songs’ genesis, how they come to life. “Sad Spring” is the first one written by Franz when “Ataraxic Void” was just his nickname in a musicians’ forum. In spring 2020, the song comes from the bad feelings during the pandemic, with the daily count of victims. The song itself it’s our way to empathize with all of those people left dying alone because of covid, our way to remember them. “Absence” has been four-handedly written (Franz + Simo) and talks about greed, selfishness, and subjugation; every time I listen to it again, I find new meanings. It is really open to many interpretations. “Fall Apart” was written shortly after Sal joined the band; the rhythm is clearly influenced by his potential on the drums, and the lyrics are essentially a “memento mori”. This round ends with “Prayer”, which would be, in our intentions, a little warm spot to remember, celebrate, and pray. ”
