Ktonios

KTONIOS is the artistic research and musical project of Davide Ghelli Santuliana, that translates the folk music from Southern Italy into a swarm of noise, industrial sounds, techno, acid melodies, reverberating loops and ambient digressions. The transformation of ancient folklore into a quasi-gothic electronic soundscape echoes its timeless, entropic and cosmic nature, in stark contrast with the oppressive linearity of modern capitalism. Moreover, KTONIOS live sets echo the improvised nature of folk music and dances and offer ever-changing performances.
