OUROBOROS musical project born in 2004, from an idea of Marco Grosso, that decides, after some years of esoteric and alchemic studies, to realize through music, the path of Great Opera of Alchemy, in his research for Philolosophical Stone.
OUROBOROS tracks bring the listener in the ancients fogs of Medieval Times, with his sad and restless mood, with vocals litany in Latin and old style artwork.
After the release of first cd-r, Solve et coagula, well accepted by papers and listeners, in 2005 Marco ask to Claudio Dondo, (active in the ambient scenes from a decade with his seminal band RUNES ORDER), to collaborate in playing some instrumental parts in OUROBOROS second cd-r, Nigredo, collaborate also in sound engineering.
The Nigredo cd confirme the debut good reviews, and some papers and zines asked to Marco taking interviews, in the meanwhile some tracks are played by independent radio stations in Europe, U.S.A and Australia. Part of the Nigredo unrelased sessions, not included in the cd-r, and a remix of a Nigredo track, are recorded for a limited 33 copies E.P called Lunarya Fisica, a little gift for the devoted die- hard Ouroboros fans. In the 2007 Ouroboros debut with the cd "Lux Arcana" for the japanese label Sabbathid Records. To accompany Marco Grosso in “Lux Arcana” there are numerous guests, Claudio Dondo of Runes Order, mAlice and Aleph Zero of Deviated Sister Tv, Daniele Davico (The Tenant) and Carla Fanetti, that embellish the woven resonant with their contribution. In the cd it appears also a cover, “Russians”, contained originally in the album” The dream of the blue turtles”of Sting, naturally revisited and arranged in the typical Ouroboros sound, like tribute to one of the favorite musicians of Marco.
After the Lux Arcana releasing many journals and fanzines ask to Marco other interviews, and the reviews of the cd are very well, so many radios put the Lux Arcana tracks on their broadcast.
In the 2008 a new release, called Sigillum Solis, is selled only with a brief essay of Marco Grosso, the book “Il solstizio d’inverno”, and contains some outtakes from Lux Arcana.
In the meantime a Belgian label, Bone Structure Media, includes a inedit track called “Lumen et umbra” for a limited edition 3 cd boxset, “Trinity on tritherapy”, that in a few days became sold out.
In the same year the estonian label Hexenreich has released a tape (split with Hietont) with a collection of best tracks plus an exclusive remix of “Solve et Coagula”, limited to 99 copies.
In may 2008 a 3” single for a dutch label, Svaltgalgh Records, that will contains 3 tracks, rare and unrelased, called “Lumen et Umbra”, in a limited edition.
Also in the same month is released a split 3” single by Svaltgalgh Records, “Magick Ritual IV”, where appears a inedit track of Ouroboros called “Ourovorax”.
The Belgian label Bone Structure Media has just printed a compilation called “ Fear is thy name”, where Ouroboros appears with a exclusive track called “Sepulchertum”.
In the autumn of 2008 Ouroboros will release a cd with the Chile based label Prime Unit Records, that will contains covers, remix and unrelased tracks from “Lux Arcana” sessions, with guest musicians as Nona Luna (soprano vocalist of Andromaca), and soprano Ilaria Taroni.

Diogenes was born in late 2007, through different conceptual and musical ideas, under the social repression and rejection, the human's race stupidity, trying to be superior, their love to money, the abandon, selfishness, hate, anger, lies, frustration, angst, fear, horror and terror, paranoia, poverty of mind... musically, the concept is to do music without stavlished schemes.
Llyn Y Cwn (Welsh - lake of the dogs) is a small lake at 715m, nestled between Glyder Fach and Y Garn in the Glyder mountain range of Snowdoina, North Wales.
Llyn Y Cwn is a dark ambient project by Ben Powell (mank).
The two EP’s were released only in digital format in 2009 – part 1 in March and part 2 in November. The EP’s try to emulate the type of environment encountered at Llyn Y Cwn, harsh and desolate but at the same time beautiful. They feature environmental field recordings from the mountains of north wales and from an ice breaker ploughing through ice at the north pole. The music is intended to be played as the listener is going to sleep.
