CONCERT OF 11th OCTOBER DELAYED TO NEXT SPRING




Ciao a tutti. Di recente avevo pubblicato la notizia di un concerto al Borgo Medievale di Torino per una evento tolkieniano previsto per l’11 ottobre; purtroppo la manifestazione è stata rinviata alla prossima primavera, quindi il concerto non si farà.
Rimanete comunque in attesa dell’uscita del doppio disco Lay of Leithian, previsto per il 16 novembre 2009, prodotto da Electromantic Music di Beppe Crovella.
A presto

A few days ago I announced that we’d give a concert at the “Borgo Medievale” in Turin during a Tolkien event that was to take place on 11th October.
Unfortunately the event has been postponed to next spring, so the concert has been put off too.Anyway, hang in for the release of the double album Lay of Leithian , scheduled to come out on 16th November 2009, and produced by Beppe Crovella’s record label, Electromantic Music.
Bye till next time.

Thanks Alessio…

Poco tempo fa ci ha lasciati un nostro caro amico e collaboratore. Alessio Cavalca, 23 anni, fotografo e soprattutto amico, autore delle splendide foto degli Ainur presenti nel sito e in molti altri luoghi di internet (Myspace, Youtube, Facebook).
Questa paginetta vuole essere un piccolo tributo ad una grande persona che con la sua gioia di vivere e il suo carattere forte e ironico ci ha lasciato dentro tanti messaggi e tanta gratitudine. Il suo modo coinvolgente di lavorare con noi e di condividere la sua passione per la fotografia ci accompagnerà sempre e resterà vivo nella memoria del nostro gruppo.
Un enorme grazie al suo contributo umano e professionale da parte di tutti i membri del gruppo.
Grazie Ale

A dear friend and collaborator of ours passed away a short time ago. 23-year-old Alessio Cavalca was a photographer but, above all, he was a friend. He was the author of the beautiful photos that you can see here and on many other websites (MySpace, YouTube, Facebook).
This page is meant as a little tribute to a great person, who, with his joy of living and his strong, ironical character, gave us so much to remember and to be grateful for . The way he involved us in his work and got us to share his passion for photography will always be with us and will live in our group’s memory.
This is a big ‘thank you’ from all the members of the group for helping us in his professional capacity and as a friend.
Thank you, Ale

NEW ALBUM RELEASE ON 16TH NOVEMBER 2009



Buongiorno a tutti.
Sono felice di annunciarvi che l’uscita del prossimo album degli Ainur sarà per il 16 novembre 2009, sempre per la Electromantic Music di Beppe Crovella. Ieri sera Luca, Ale ed io (Marco) abbiamo incontrato Beppe (Crovella) per decidere alcune cose riguardanti il disco. Beppe è stato molto contento dell’evoluzione e della resa del lavoro.

Nel frattempo, l’11 ottobre gli Ainur probabilmente presenteranno alcuni nuovi brani nella splendida cornice del Borgo Medievale di Torino, vicino al Po. L’evento in questione è una manifestazione Tolkieniana organizzata da Rosanna Masoero, scrittrice e illustratrice da tempo amica degli Ainur.

A presto

Hi everybody. 
I’m happy to announce that Ainur’s new album will be released on 16th November by Electromantic Music of Beppe Crovella. Yesterday evening Luca, Ale and me (Marco) had a meeting with Beppe (Crovella) to decide some things about our new work. Beppe was very happy about it and he likes very much how our work has evolved and turned out.

Meanwhile, on 11th October, there will probably be a little presentation of some of our new songs on the wonderful medieval site of Borgo Medievale in Turin, near the river Po. It’ll be a Tolkienian event organized by Rosanna Masoero, writer, painter and Ainur’s friend for a long time. The confirmation of our participation will come in a few days.

Best regards
