Learn how Evelyn de Morgan's depiction of strong female figures was a reflection of her personal drive.

Evelyn de Morgan, "Head of Medea"

Lullaby for Wendla Bergmann was originally composed by Maria Laura Ronzoni for a rendition of the theatrical piece Spring Awakening by Frank Wedekind, a controversial work written in 1891 defined by the author himself “eine Kindertragödie” (a children's tragedy). Wendla is a 13-year-old who discovers love with a boy of her same age and becomes pregnant. Her mother, wanting to hide this shame from their social circles, ends up killing her while planning an abortion with the aid of a doctor.

mLau reworked the song adding the electronic arrangements by Massimo Marraccini. The nursery rhymes, folkish singing is echoed by a dissonant tapestry of sounds, almost martial, a choice made to visualise the contrast between the children's innocence and the violence of adults. In a Tim Burton's style, Lullaby for Wendla Bergmann is an alt-folk goth fable, as Suzanne Vega was remixed by Stereolab.

Walls

'Peace of Mind' was written as a lamenting song to share the pain of grief, trauma and loss, the anguish of conflict and spiritual disconnection that follow such loss, and finally the healing power of love that we all crave and require to overcome this pain and to thrive once again. The haunting vocal harmonies give sound to the voices that are no longer here and a depth of feeling which may resonate with those who have experienced trauma or conflict in relationships and/or extraordinary loss.

Peace of Mind

'Winter Blues' expresses playful sounds, a jazzy swing tempo and latin feel combined with phat beats and a 90's trip-hop vibe. A new take on an old style, written with lyrics that speak of longing for a faraway land and faraway lover and the loneliness of the bitter, cold, Canadian winter.

In 1950 Sterling and Francine Clark chartered the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute as a home for their extensive art collection. Opened to the public in 1955, the Clark has built upon this extraordinary group of works to become one of the most beloved and respected art museums in the world, known for its intimate galleries and stunning natural environment. One of the few institutions in the United States that combines a public art museum with research and academic programs, including a major art history library, the Clark is now a leading international center for research and discussion on the nature of art and art history. Building upon the founders’ legacy, the Clark completed its master plan for the twenty-first century. This final phase of a transformational campus expansion program adds new facilities to support the growth of museum and academic programs; enhances the visitor experience of the Clark; improves circulation throughout the campus; and creates new levels of environmental sustainability across its 140-acre grounds while maintaining the unique character of its beautiful rural setting.

mLau is a musical journey by Massimo Marraccini and Maria Laura Ronzoni.
The duo from Rome are brave pioneers in creating their own visual soundscapes, mixing alternative folk and futuristic electronic, enriched by arty videos. 
 Their background is rooted in alternative folk, post-rock and trip-hop, and their attitude focuses on pure artistic expression without strict rules.  
mLau first two singles No One Around and A Queen With No Head were released in 2020, both paired with short videos in graphic animation that gained attention from national and international websites and radios, followed in 2021 by an EP entitled Locked In, featuring 4 original songs plus a tribute to one of the great masters of the musical-literary tradition of our times who most influenced the writing of mLau ‘s lyrics: Just Like Tom Thumb’s Blues, an elegant, minimal electro-folk interpretation of Bob Dylan‘s poetic masterpieces. 
  In mLau the voice, lyrics and melodies composed by Maria Laura Ronzoni are enriched by Massimo Marraccini‘s rhythmic and harmonic textures, through research – both musical and literary – for beauty as a creative response and a way out from an existential condition in which we’re fragile and astonished witnesses of a surreal reality. In front of it we find ourselves alone but nevertheless linked to each other and locked up, or better locked in. 
The duo performances are an audio-visual experience rather than a concert, an immersive soundscape created by mLau sounds and avant-garde visual projections.  
After releasing in November ’21 a third video clip for the song Blue Boy – Babylon Girl, mLau concentrated on writing and recording, at Sound Side Studio in Rome, their first full-length, which will include, in addition to the songs from the first EP Locked In, new unreleased songs inspired by literary figures, social themes and dialogic introspection, showing a further developing of their research for a sound in which traditional and futuristic go hand in hand.

Artists who deserve attention.            
Arte Varia

A set of 5 delicious songs that are, to say the least, enchanting. They are songs that move between new age, pop, have slightly electronic elements and that manifest the growth of an aura that develops throughout each track as if the stars were opening before our eyes.
