about

Recorded and conceived in August 2023 between Rome and Bomporto, Italy.

Etrurian Meditations is a journey that intertwines the electronic sounds of synthesizers with the strings of the ancient Greek lyre.

Etruria, 389 BC
A meditative journey between nature and discovery before a bloody war.
Two young boys towards Vetumna (Fanum Voltumnae), the sanctuary of the Dodecapolis (Confederation of the 12 Etruscan cities) where the Italic populations of the Etruscans, Equi and Volsci are gathering to oppose and defeat Rome. The journey begins on the banks of the Clanis river, heading towards the city of Tarquinia at nightfall and then resuming the road that leads us to get lost in the dangerous and inaccessible Ciminia woods. Finally the two young people reach the sanctuary determined to participate in a war that will help bring their lands to ruin.

Registrato e ideato nell'agosto del 2023 tra Roma e Bomporto, Italia.

Etrurian Meditations è un viaggio che intreccia le sonorità elettroniche dei sintetizzatori con le corde dell'antica lira greca.


Etruria 389 a.C.
Un viaggio meditativo tra natura e scoperta prima di una sanguinosa guerra.
Due giovani ragazzi verso Vetumna (Fanum Voltumnae), il santuario delle Dodecapoli (Confederazione delle 12 città etrusche) dove si stanno riunendo le popolazioni italiche degli Etruschi, degli Equi e dei Volsci per opporsi e sconfiggere Roma. Il viaggio comincia sulle rive del fiume Clanis, dirigendosi al calar della notte verso la città di Tarquinia per poi riprendere la strada che ci porta a perdersi nei pericolosi e inaccessibili boschi Ciminia. Infine i due giovani raggiungono il santuario decisi a partecipare a una guerra che contribuirà a portare le loro terre alla rovina.
