Aegri Somnia


Rock
A.k.a. Aegri Somnia

[SP] Aegri Somnia está formado por Cristina aka Lady Carrot, del mundo del folk castellano (La Bojiganga), y Nightmarer, de la escena del metal extremo de vanguardia (As Light Dies y Garth Arum). Todo comenzó en 2012, en una vieja casa fantasmal en un valle en el norte de España, en medio de la soledad, el silencio, y el olor a tierra mojada. En una antigua cocina de hierro en la que casi se oían las termitas devorar las vigas, se improvisó una sesión musical con una pandereta, los cacharros de la cocina como percusión, canciones tradicionales y lúgubres acordes que provenían de una guitarra eléctrica. Dos mundos diametralmente opuestos convergieron y se casaron ante la celebración y el beneplácito de los silenciosos espíritus que habitaban la casa. Y así surgió Aegri Somnia, la música tradicional oral española, desconocida incluso para la mayoría de los españoles, mezclada con las excentricidades armónicas propias de músicas como el black metal. Canciones folclóricas reforzadas con una banda sonora agridulce que enfatiza el mensaje que nos dieron nuestros ancestros. [ENG] Aegri Somnia are Cristina R. Galván “Lady Carrot”, from Castilian folk music world and Nightmarer from the avantgarde metal scene (As Light Dies & Garth Arum). It all began in 2012 in an old ghostly house located in a northern Spanish valley, surrounded by loneliness, silence and the smell of wet earth. In an old iron kitchen where termites were almost heard devouring the wooden beams, a musical session was improvised with a tambourine, cookware as percussion, traditional songs and lugubrious chords coming from an electric guitar. Two vastly different worlds converged and married in the eyes of the silent and celebrating spirits who inhabited the house. And thus Aegri Somnia rose, Spanish oral traditional music, unknown even for most of Spanish people, mixed with harmonic eccentricity typical of musical styles such as black metal. Songs reinforced with a bittersweet soundtrack which emphasizes the message our ancestors gave to us.
