Aegri Somnia is a medieval-idustrial-project from Frankfurt, Germany and was founded in the year 2011 by the also current members: 
Aegris Aeternus: bagpipes, electronics 
Das Beiwerk: drums, electronics 

When founded, the band was a complete acoustical project, yet very different to "similiar" medieval bands at that time. 
Troughout the next few years they brought their unique style to the people at several medieval markets until at the end of 2013 Aegris Aeternus & Das Beiwerk broke up with their other bandmates they where playing with at that time. 
This happening was taken as a great oppurtunity to lead Aegri Somnia into new directions, yet again very different as you might would expect medieval music to be. 

Aegri Somnia in 2014 is medieval-industrial-electro. 

Strange, but true:
I love medieval music on traditional instruments, that was featured in the ZILLO magazine (which is gone meanwhile - a pitty!).
However, modern electronic dance music being presented by the SONIC SEDUCER journal is fascinating me, too.
So why should I not try to marry this unequal couple?
During the wedding preparations - meaning my first experiments with mixing both music styles - it became quite obvious for me, that there is more harmony, but also suspense in this combination than thought before.
So check it out and be surprised!
Enter the history & life of former knights, play games like those ones from GUTTER ARCADE, wear KNIGHT HOODIES and visit KNIGHT CLUBs like those ones in Duesseldorf, when they open again!
