1) Ataraxia was a pseudonym used by experimental electronic musician Mort Garson only on his 1975 album "The Unexplained: Electronic Musical Impressions of the Occult".
2) Ataraxia, formed in 1985, is a neofolk / neoclassical band from Modena and Reggio Emilia, Italy, that combines modern technology with archaic instrumentation over various media. They describe their music as a cross "between sacred and profane, ethereal and neoclassic, contemporary and early music." Their work has often involved research into European legends and Classical mythology. Contemplation, dreamy experiences, elegiac atmospheres, ritual movements float in a mysterious garden where contemporary textures of notes meet the embracing echo of classic sounds. Their lyrics are written in many ancient and contemporary languages (such as Latin, French, German, English, and their native Italian) as they try to bring to the surface the hidden treasures and revelations of each. Many of their performances take place in locations the band professes to possess specific spiritual qualities. Since their beginnings in the late 1980s, they have recorded over 20 original LPs every one presenting its own original concept. To name just a few, La Malédiction d'Ondine (1995) deals with female spirits of water and earth; while “Llyr” (2010) tells the story of a divine being traveling through times and forms. Their last work Quasar (2020) is dedicated to 7 archangelic archetypes.
Some of their earlier long sold-out albums have been recently re-released with numerous bonus-tracks.

Ataraxia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Souverian des vagues,
Toi qui mouilles les ames en les
Allument de blanc nacre.
Dieu des recifs, vieux de la mer,
Souverain des vagues
Toi qui les fais germer comme de coraux
D'obsidienne de mille reflets.
Thymos, nos essences, tes intimes soeurs,
S'aditent comme de vagues_
The lyrics of Ataraxia's "Bleumarine" talk about the sea and its power to enkindle the human souls. The singer addresses the "God of reefs," who is the ancient ruler of the sea and dominates the waves. This deity is the one who wets souls and ignites them with white and nacreous light. The sea is depicted as a powerful entity that can make souls sprout like obsidian corals with thousands of reflections.
The singer then talks about how we all return to the earth in infinite streams, and how Thymos (which means life force or spirit) blends our essences with its intimate sisters. The last line of the lyrics is left incomplete, ending with "s'aditent comme de vagues," which means "they blend like waves." Here, we see a connection made between the power the sea holds over us and the notion of blending, of becoming one with something larger than ourselves.
Overall, the lyrics of "Bleumarine" can be interpreted as a call to connect with nature and its elements, especially the sea, in order to find inner peace and enlightenment. The use of poetic language and symbolism helps to create a dreamy, almost mystical atmosphere that invokes a sense of wonder and awe towards the natural world.
