About the Artist
Praised by both critics and the public alike, Qntal has masterfully blended medieval melodies, languages, and instruments with elements of modern electronic music. With lush instrumentation, gorgeous female vocals in the "heavenly voices" style, and an otherworldly atmosphere, Qntal have earned a reputation for their high standard of excellence in recorded music, artwork, and live performances. Highly recommended, especially to fans of Dead Can Dance, Loreena McKennitt, Vas and Irfan.On QNTAL’s newest CD, QNTAL VI: TRANSLUCIDA:
Bright-as-bells sounds bring back the band's roots on "Translucida". Instead of great gestures, the album is dominated by unadorned elegance. Translucent arrangements focus the attention on Syrah's multi-faceted vocals, which are not accompanied by choral passages this time around.From the iridescent opener, "Sleeping", to "Passacaglia", which reveals Antonio Vivaldi's melancholy side, the exceptional voice of this classically trained vocalist explores the most diverse sonic spaces. Next to measured moments, the sixth QNTAL release includes a number of candidates for the club circus, such as "Sumer", "Ludus" or indeed "Glacies", a medieval dancing song, which was synthesized consistently without taking away any of its inherent joie de vivre.
"QNTAL VI – Translucida" brings together past and present in two respects: Both in historical terms and in terms of the band's biography.
Released February 26th 2008 on Noir Records.
