Bio
GOTHICA (1994-2004) "The name GOTHICA describes well our music, it shows our love for many forms of art because in different periods of time and in different ways, the Gothic style involved different kinds of art such as painting, sculpture, architecture and literature. Gothic Revival opens the way to Romanticism with its devices such as the sublime of an abandoned country churchyard, of a Gothic cathedral, of a tempest, of an impracticable savage landscape, of a horror tale. We use the term sublime in the same way as Edmund Burke (1729-1797) who, inspiring himself by the treatise by Pseudo-Longin, defined this strong feeling in "A Philosophical Enquiry into the Origin of our Ideas of the Sublime and Beautiful" (1756). The Gothic castle par excellence is not an ancient one but is Strawberry Hill, which is a small pot pourri of strange and eccentric objects coming from all around the world. It was built as his residence by Horace Walpole, who wrote the manifesto of Gothic literature and the first recognized Gothic novel "The Castle of Otranto" in 1764. Our music, like this Gothic castle, is a mixture of various kind of arts, sonorities. It is like the joyful, moving fascination of a landscape; the tormenting sentiment springing from premature death: beauty that changes into horror for the imperturbable mysterious mechanism of the benign and severe nature; the sound of existence." .. ..
