Italy-based melancholic ambient artist Atmaen has shared another track, "Beyond The Veil", from her upcoming EP, Lullabies From The Dark Ether, out on 12 December by Inertial Music.
Atmaen is a project created by Valentina Buroni. She's a singer, songwriter, and researcher in the field of sacred ritualistic chanting and of self-transformation through sound and music. Her songs are prayers, invocations to the spirits of nature, sacred chants to connect with the spiritual dimension, medicine chants, sonic journeys, and meditations to expand consciousness. She creates dreamlike, magical, otherworldly atmospheres in her songs. She is influenced by Celtic music, folk music from Western Europe, ritualistic chants of contemporary indigenous cultures, electronic music, ambient music, and movie soundtracks.
Valentina is trained in early music singing, modern singing, Irish traditional singing, overtone singing, and Gregorian chant singing. She also plays the frame drum. She is a dance therapist and a professional holistic operator with over 20 years of experience in the use of voice and singing for personal growth and well-being.
She has released seven albums with different music projects (Dragonheart Records, Standing Stone Records, Inertial Music), ranging from heavy metal to electro-acoustic ambient and world folk music. She has played at festivals as Triskell Celtic Festival, Nomad Dance Fest, and Wave Gotik Treffen.
