Band/artist history
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
Enter the orgiastic realm of Pan while listening to "le satyre cornu"
The rediscovery of unearthed sounds thanks to the last album of Stille Volk
The mysterious and bewitching language of the troubadours revived by the mystique of Stille Volk
A magnificent mix of past and present
A dreamlike cavalcade of energic and vigourous laments
A new album, fresh and bewitching, a mix of lively tunes and dark laments
A universe whose initiator is PAN
Those who can't live in the past are condemned to listen to it
A new album, fresh and bewitching, a mix of lively tunes and dark laments
If you fint the perspective of tickling the Horned PAN titillating, if you are inclined to crazy nights watches, then "Le satyre cornu" will be your best ally to these mad walkings
That Satyr likes to guide us through a phantasmagorical world where we go from haughty dances to vigorous bursts of instruments with such ease and passio, that only Satyr could begetknill's station

Good stuff... however, I like your "darker" songs more than the rest; the best album in my opinion is Exuvies. Luna Mecanica is excellent; it somehow reminds me of old SF movies. Exuvie Bizarre is just PERFECT, and I really mean it.
