From Last.Fm port-royal (rigorously written with SMALL LETTERS and with the “-” between “port” and “royal”!) – born in summer 2000 in Genoa, Italy – is composed of 5 genoese guys:

Attilio Bruzzone: guitar, synthesizer, programming (founder)
Emilio Pozzolini: sampler, programming
giulio corona: bass, programming
Sieva Diamantakos: visuals, video
Ettore di Roberto: piano, synthesizer, programming (founder)

They play a dreamy, heady, melancholic, wide music on the border among electronica, ambient, shoegaze with some dance elements even if they are AFRAID TO DANCE! The music is mixed with the sensual images and shots of Diamantakos.

The band is now looking for a new label after that RESONANT RECORDINGS – their home for more than 3 years – has closed up.
