La Chambre D'ECho

Sopor Aeternus & the Ensemble of Shadows - brought to life by Anna-Varney Cantodea in 1989 - is a German experimental musical project which is as unique as theatrical. Anna-Varney since the beginning stays true to gothic atmosphere supported by harpisschords, woodwinds and an orchestra. The music - and especially the lyrics - are filled with pain, loneliness but also a twisted sad humor. That alone makes Sopor Aternus one of a kind project.

Sopor Aeternus came to my life in 2006, with the album La Chambre D'Echo - which stays my favorite. Anna-Varney and her music inspires me heavily and without break and her gothic world - not happy but familiar - accompanies me through my own struggles.
