Uttern

Uttern represents a unique cultural and spiritual phenomenon in the contemporary music landscape, a beacon illuminating forgotten paths of European tradition. Far more than just an artistic project, this entirely female collective has forged a sonic identity deeply rooted in the most ancient layers of the continent, bringing back to life the silent voices of pre-Christian traditions. Their artistic research is distinguished by an approach that combines historical rigor and spiritual intuition, pushing well beyond the usual boundaries of ethnic music to explore the linguistic and spiritual heritage of ancient civilizations.

What particularly characterizes their journey is the use of lyrics drawn from ancient pre-Roman languages like Venetic and Etruscan, mysterious languages whose very phonetics possesses powerful evocative value. This choice is not merely philological but profoundly spiritual, representing an attempt to awaken through sonic vibration those forms of consciousness and perceptions of the sacred that characterized the ancient spiritualities of pre-Christian Europe. In this world brought back to life by their voices, the divine permeates every element of nature, and the boundary between human and cosmic becomes subtle and permeable.

Their music thus becomes a sonic bridge to a remote past, where tribal rhythms and archaic chants blend to create a sonic fabric that is both earthly and transcendent. Their sound, always balanced between ritual power and melodic refinement, has won over an audience seeking authenticity, leading Uttern to perform at major Italian festivals and prestigious venues in France and Austria.

In this phase of artistic maturation, the collective is working on their new album with producer Bruno Giraldo, a project scheduled for release in 2026. This work appears as a significant milestone in the group's journey, synthesizing years of research into European traditions and the evocative power of sound. Uttern’s journey continues to chart a unique trajectory, poised between the call of its deepest roots and an openness towards a contemporary world that seems to have lost touch with the dimension of the sacred. Their music offers itself as an instrument of reconnection, an unstoppable flow that, like the otter from which they take their name, unites grace and determination in a perpetual movement towards renewed awareness.
