Iosophis | ja
Iosophis is a folk duo from France, formed by Naharda Ior (druid) and Victor Yann (bard). They make ritual music as it should always be: simple, intense, contemplative, ageless.
Their first album, titled "N", was released in 2010 on Totsoluna Disc. It can be difficult to classify in predefined genre categories: folk and electronic elements mix seamlessly, the emphasis on percussive rhythm and the male vocals, chanting repetitively in a secret, initiatory language, play a key role in conjuring the truly ritual atmosphere.
Their second album, titled "M", was released in 2011 again on Totsoluna Disc. Less minimal, more emotional...
