STILLE VOLK

Stille Volk was created in 1994 and aims at a music of celtic and medieval influence as well as adorned with modern elements. That's why many instruments from all origins and all ages are played : 

hurdy-gurdy, arabic lute, violin, bouzouki, bagpipes, chalemie, mandolin, portable organ, bombarde, various flutes, and other stringed instruments. 

The band signed up with Holy Records after the demo "Ode aux lointains souverains" (1995) which was very successful, and released its first album "Hantaoma" in 1997 : this CD offers an acoustic music of traditional and medieval influence whose concept is based on Pyrenean mythology (pantheon, spirits, legends,...). The second album "Exuvies"came out in 1998 and presents an obscure music which is more electric while still keeping acoustic bits and some bewitching laments. The band apprehends paganism as an intuition or something surreal. "Le satyre cornu" will be released in June 2001 and rests on a very energic and medieval style, an orgiastic and mystic atmosphere punctuated with the language of 12th century troubadours revived thanks to a most unusual music (it contains a medireview version of Occitanie, of an Iron Maiden song). 

Line up :
AREXIS Yan (left the band in1998) : percussion
LAFFORGUE Patrick : vocals, wind instruments
ROQUES Patrice : strings
