port-royal

port-royal is an Italian electronic, ambient, post rock band formed in 2000. There is a constant sense of idealism and purpose in their songs, many of which are layered, often long and dense, and are arranged in something of a classical style. Though a traditional post-rock guitar shimmer permeates the majority of their songs, a lot of their music is focused around ambient keyboard soundscapes, spoken voice recordings and glitch/dance electronica. The music videos mostly directed by Sieva Diamantakos are brilliant and illuminating while being at their simplest subtle interpretations of the music itself.


The band is made up of Attilio Bruzzone (Guitar, Keyboards, Programming, Bass and sometimes Vocals), Ettore Di Roberto (Piano, Keyboards, Programming and sometimes Vocals), Emilio Pozzolini (Samplers, Programming), Michele Di Roberto (Drums), Sieva Diamantakos (Visuals, Videos) and Giulio Corona (Programming). 

Brief Background
In the year 2000, childhood friends Attilio and Ettore from Genoa, Italy, decided to form a band during a party. Their first practice session was at Ettore's bedroom which had a piano and an acoustic guitar with a TASCAM 4 Track cassette recorder. Months later, Ettore's brother and fellow drum player Michele joins the band and finds a name for the project. More sessions take place in the so called "Saletta" nothing but a basement in the old Genovese city-center. 


Songs are written and some will be the melodic basis of future tracks, others will be forgotten. Throughout the years the band would experience a shift in band members, but the music would always be the same, it would always lift you off your feet.
