Sounds Like at-a-rax-ic (adjective) - a state of serene calmness

a-tax-i-a (noun) - the loss of full control of bodily movements

From the February 27, 2007 article of Columbia's very own, very college newspaper, The Maneater:

"The second act was the noise band Ataraxic Ataxia, and they “played” for no more than a couple of minutes, experimenting with sound, no beat, no melody and no real notes. It is a sound with a niche audience, difficult to understand and often ignored as meaningless noise. The instruments and voice went silent and the assembled audience sat or stood quietly looking on."

   About Ataraxic Ataxia
Call me Ataraxic Ataxia. Some years ago - never mind how long precisely - having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me, I thought I would play about a little and make a noisy part in the world. It is a way I have of driving off the spleen, and regulating the circulation. Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul; whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet; and especially whenever my hypos get such an upper hand of me, that it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from deliberately stepping into the street, and methodically knocking people's hats off - then, I account it high time to make some Noise as soon as I can. This is my substitute for pistol and ball. With a philosophical flourish Cato throws himself upon his sword; I quietly take to Noise. There is nothing surprising in this. If they but knew it, almost all men in their degree, some time or other, cherish very nearly the same feelings towards Noise as me.
