This project started four years ago with the intention of rediscovering the messages behind a book that seems never to be truly understood but somehow appears as an evergreen source of purity, a message of hope for humanity that seems to forget its real motivations. Even during his lifetime Zarathustra himself, as written in the Avesta, was always opposed by the mediocrity of the common thought of his contemporaries, fighting against ritualism, respecting animal life and nature especially in a period in which non-violence was not even idealistic. Four different languages to give a multicultural vision of the Nietzsche's text from four important old and new cultures, somehow connected to that book: the German, the English, the Iranian and the Russian one. For Nietzsche "Der Grosse Mittag" was a secondary option for the title „Also Sprach Zarathustra“ as achievement of awareness of the non-existence of any form of dualism of reality. The main person behind Zarathustra is Mirco Magnani, a Berlin based italian composer and producer, co- founder of the bands Minox, Technophonic Chamber Orchestra and 4DKiller. Mirco has performed onstage with Steven Brown, Blaine L. Reininger, Luc Van Lieshout of Tuxedomoon, Lydia Lunch, Krisma, Mad Professor and been remixed by Murcof, Nobukazu Takemura, The Gentle People, Daedelus. Recent important publications has been the collaborative improvisation sessions with Polish-Berlin friend Lukasz Trzcinski. Guest vocals come from Steven Brown and Nikolas Klau (Tuxedomoon), Sainkho Namtchylak and Paganland.
