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 ↴
Et Purpurea In Tremore Pervigil
"Hei, Viator" Inquam "Dignabere?"
Mara Paltrinieri.
Ataraxia's song Canzona features enigmatic and philosophical lyrics that invite reflection and interpretation. The opening lines, "Abscondo Sacra In Memoria / Et Purpurea In Tremore Pervigil" suggest the concept of hiding something sacred in memory and keeping something purple in trembling vigilance. The use of colors and intense emotion is indicative of deeper meaning and themes beyond surface-level interpretation.
The next line, "Hei, Viator" Inquam "Dignabere?" is a Latin phrase that translates to "Hey, traveler, would you do me the honor?" This line speaks to the idea of invitation and welcoming, but also suggests a deeper level of acceptance and understanding. The use of Latin makes the message timeless and universal, despite the different interpretations that may arise from it.
The lyrics are further made interesting by the addition of the name "Mara Paltrinieri". It is unclear who or what Mara Paltrinieri represents, but the name adds a layer of mystery and intrigue to the song's message. Overall, Canzona's lyrics invite introspection and probe the listener's deeper thoughts and emotions, inviting interpretation and reflection.
