törst bio--manifesto
törst was formed in Salerno, Italy, in 1997. törst
is Adriano Elia and Paolo Marcellini, former members of EXÙ.
The main idea lying behind our music is trying to explore different genres while
keeping our own style. Over the years, we've used sound sources as diverse as
samples, violin, vocals, guitars, bass, flute, tablas, ocarina, theremin, harmonic
chant, vibraphone, silence, reverb, harmonica, trumpet, Tibetan bowls, balafon, e-bow, electronics,
maracas, marranzano, tapes, percussion, banjo.
Our CDs have had very good reviews,
and the wide range of bands and genres quoted as influences is evidence
of our 360° search for originality with a view towards tradition.
Electronica, minimalism, experimental guitar ambient music, psychedelic
folk, kosmische musik and post rock have all been mentioned to describe our music. Please check it out.
