    Statement from Ataraxia:

    Suenos
    2001-2021

    “Which were the dreams that, twenty years ago, brought us here and now? Which ones, those that, in twenty years in the future, will have drawn our present now and here? PARTI DE MAL, far from evil, a choral and decisive NO towards forces that keep us away from our dreams, then, to exorcise this time, we let ourselves free to dance a pagan dance called SADERALADON.

    We are in the presence of BELLE JOLANDE, quintessence of Venus, Goddess of harmony and love that we honor until we find ourselves catapulted to card 1 of the tarots, IL BAGATTO, the one who has all the tools to “start” a work but he’s not moving yet.

    We enter the second phase of the dream and journey, we get into the deep unconscious, the lucid dream, the feminine, the welcoming water.

    MON AME SORCIERE, right now the soul begins creating, she becomes a witch, a prophetess and initiates her subtle action through portal 11, ELEVEN, the number of the door in deep contact with memory, MNEMOSINE, Titaness-Goddess of memories who leads us to get in touch with all what is waving, I LOVE EVERY WAVING THING.
    We access the third phase, the masculine, the action of fire. Through sandy dunes, we reach a crossroad, ENCRUCIJADA, where does the dream lead us? To abandon all what is no longer useful, the burden of what denatures us physically, emotionally and spiritually (FUNERAL IN DATCA), we give it a worthy burial in order to access a sparkling, multicolored treasure (THE CORALS OF AQABA) allowing us to ascend to Mount Nemrut (NEMRUT DAGI) where we put the crown on our head, the return of the inner King, the quintessence, in dignity, beauty and love.
    IN AMOR, the fourth step, in love and for love.
    Lost love for the ones who did not have the courage to live it, to devote themselves to it, to open their own hearts as in the song CLYTAEMESTRA; and the glorious love embodied by MELISANDA, protagonist of the alchemical wedding, an iridescent soul dancing a round dance that rejoins the one of SADERALADON in a spiral that rises by an octave.
    We had the ardor to dream and the dream came true.
    The dream is all what has been, is and will be as time is only a dimension of space and each space travels parallel to another in a multidimensional matrix where everything is possible if we sing it.

    Apoptose – Zukunft


    Apoptose – Die Zukunft
    Label: Tesco Organisation ‎– TESCO 128, Tesco Organisation ‎– 128
    Format: CD, Album
    Country: Germany
    Released:2018
    Style: Dark Ambient, Ambient, Downtempo, Synthwave, Modern Classical

    In the four years of production Apoptose selected a wide range of different singers for this album. Most outstanding is classical trained tenor Daniel Sans. He sings «What Power Art Thou» – a song that was composed by Henry Purcell in the late 17th century. Apoptose and Sans preserve the complex harmonic structure of the original translating it into a breathtaking five minute ride in apoptotic soundspheres. They succeed in conjuring up Purcell’s «cold genius» that had already fascinated legendary countertenor Klaus Nomi in the 1980s. Other voices on «Die Zukunft» include the gloomy spoken words of the advance single «Time-lapse City», the lost girl’s voice on the title track and two female singers on «Dornen». Consistent with the album title Apoptose does not look back, but is heading for novel territories within the dark ambient music genre
