Ardor
📀 Athelas Records

A slow-burning groove. Ardor unfolds like late light on skin — warm, deliberate, and unresolved. The guitar leads with dry resonance and offbeat phrasing, evoking echoes of Latin rhythms — fractured, suspended, reassembled. Somewhere between desire and distance, Ardor sketches a dance that never fully begins.

Artistic direction: Angela Braito
Composition: Daniele Belli & Angela Braito

The Conspiracy
📀 Athelas Records

A pact in the dark, in the narrow alleys of a sleeping village. The Conspiracy unfolds — from whispers held in breath to spiraling tension. The violin plots its path in murmurs and cuts, tracing lines of suspicion, urgency, and restraint.

Built on modal tension and rhythmic asymmetry, this piece is a ritual of control — quiet, precise, and full of consequence.

Artistic direction: Angela Braito
Composition: Angela Braito & Marcello Ulfo

Tunaweza

The Dragon
📀 Athelas Records

A circle of light, a dance of vows. The Dragon rises not in fire, but in ceremony — a wedding of voices and rhythms. Inspired by the ancient chaconne, the piece spins on a slow, noble motif, repeated like footsteps around a sacred flame. The violin dances with grace, warmth, and control — between baroque elegance and Mediterranean harmony.
