    Somnare – Bellum Esse 
    Label: Lichterklang – LK032B
    Format: CD, Album, 
    Country: Germany
    Released: 10 May 2016
    Style: Neofolk

    Somnare is to dream from the perspective of our minds, a travel to the depths of our soul. Compromising the consciousness and subconscious, the percussion reflects the inner struggle of each person. The silence of its chords lead us to the most mystical darkness of our being, but at the same time the melody of the strings, takes us by through landscapes of melancholy. Nature itself inspires us, creates hope to learn and evolve again and again. There is still hope for lost souls.

    Somnare is an original idea from the cellist Pilar Molina (Aura Noctis, Aeldaborn) and the bassist DP Rey (Wrong, The YTriple Corporation, Neverdie), created in 2013 and based in Madrid (Spain).

    Aura Noctis

    The Aura Noctis project was created by Olga in 2006. Between 2006 and 2009 she was composing and producing songs that would later be released in future albums. Some were uploaded to the internet and received very good comments from listeners. Meanwhile she was also looking for a female vocalist and partner to join the project, in order to enhance it and to be able to play live. In late 2009 she was joined by Pilar (cello). They started to play together and share the project, for which Olga arranged her songs mainly for the cello and piano.

    In 2011, a short EP and the first Aura Noctis album “Itineris I” were released (labels: GH Records, Twilight Records), receiving very positive press reviews. Rubén G. (drums & flutes) also joined. The band played live in Valencia (Teatro de los Manantiales) and Madrid (Ritmo y Compás & Museo del Romanticismo).

    In 2012 they were joined by others, first through Fernando (drums) and later on by Carmen (oboe). They played live in Madrid (Casa Encendida), in Leipzig (Schaulpielhaus, in Wave Gotik Treffen), and Barcelona (Sala Demonix). In late 2012 the second album “Vitae Proelium” was released (label: In the Morningside Records). At that time Aura Noctis was becoming something quite different from what was originally devised, so Olga decided to take a break and start over. During 2013 and 2015 she was working on new compositions and looking forward to form again a group for future concerts and recordings.

    In 2015 the new (and much improved) band is formed and playing live the new compositions along with some old songs with new arrangements, achieving a really good sound thanks to the great musicians who make it up: Carmen (a professional oboist with extensive experience as an oboe soloist in orchestras, bands and chamber groups), Susana (a professional cellist with a background as a performer in the National Spanish Symphonic Orchestra), Beatriz (singer and songwriter for many years), Rubén (framedrum performer), and Olga (composer and piano performer).

    Music Style:

    It’s quite difficult to fit Aura Noctis’ music in any music genre. The style has been described in some press reviews as “melancholy neofolk / darkwave” (peek-a-boo magazine), “Neoclassical / Ethereal / Dark Wave” (heathenharvest.org), and related terms.
    Some similar / related music genres could be: Neoclassical / DarkWave, Neoclassical / New Age, Ethereal, Heavenly Voices, Contemporary Instrumental, New Age Piano, Film Music, and so on.
