The Metamorphoses

‘That I to thee some joyous jests may show in gentle gloze,
And frankly feed thy bended eares with passing pleasant prose:
So that thou daine in seemly sort this wanton booke to view,
That is set out and garnisht fine, with written phrases new.
I will declare how one by hap his humane figure lost,
And how in brutish formed shape, his loathed life he tost.
And how he was in course of time from such a state unfold,
Who eftsoone turn'd to pristine shape his lot unlucky told.…’

Apuleïus, The Golden Asse (or the ‘Metamorphoses’), 2nd century

Blessings, curses, rewards or punishments, Metamorphoses have hauntend men for ages and… Keltia for 3 years. From the Werewolf to Melusine, from the White Doe to the Butterfly, from the masked murderer the the Tree-Woman, fascinating characters thrive in the repertoire of Keltia.

Already developed as a show and a concept-album, the ‘Metamorphoses’ are an infinite source of inspiration. A good omen for new realisations on this subject.

The show

Enter the fantastic fair of Keltia and meet a gallery of freaks with unexpected 
fates. With pinch of theatre and tales, it takes the audience to a unique and fabulous journey.

Attending a show of Keltia is also an opportunity to discover unusual instruments such as celtic harp and electroharp, bendir, didgeridoo, viola, hurdy-gurdy, davul…

Always seeking new atmospheres, the band don’t hesitate to make unexpected matches between electro sounds, traditional music, classical arrangements and dark pagan 
imagination.

The album

Settle down comfortably, put on your headphones, close your eyes and enter the world of the Metamorphosis. The tracks melt with each others, without respite… Embellished with sound effects and atmosphere (created without synthesizers), the repertoire gains a new dimension.

Pro

The show ‘Les Métamorphoses’ (‘the metamorphoses’) is more than a mere concert. With pinch of theatre and tales, it takes the audience to a unique and fabulous journey. In the mysterious world of Keltia, figures from the Middle Ages meet fantastic characters and depart for mystical quests. Music is like a soundtrack that keeps changing with the story that is told. Switching from folk to rock, electro or classical music, it can be either tribal, strange or intriguing. Unusual instruments like celtic harp, hurdy-gurdy, davul (a kind of medieval drum), slideridoo… will undoubtedly stir the curiosity of the audience.

Refering to a fascination shared by every human being, ‘the metamorphosis’ can touch everybody, no matter the age nor the background.

The band

Keltia is born in 2002 on a free-stage of the Belgian festival ‘Les Anthinoises’. At first, Keltia was the project of a young solo harpist. It became a genuine band in 2004. Original songs with french lyrics, inspired by celtic and greek mythology, usually accompanied with the harp are the ‘trademark’ of the band.

Each musician who joined the band brought a unique touch to the project, slowly defining the true essence of its music. After trying different line-ups, the Court counts today 5 pillars : Her Majesty Keltia (voice, celtic- and electroharp, hurdy-gurdy), who created the project, Laime Ithil (guitars, bouzouki, mandolin, kalimba,  choir, sound design and atmospheres), Jack Saturday (slideridoo, darbuka, bendir, bodhrán, koncovka, shofar, choir), Sir Arnald Mac Ougar (viola, choir), MaestrO (Computer Assisted Music, sound atmospheres, davul).
