Milvus is an instrumental band inspired by the rock avantgardes of the psychedelic movement, aimed at grasping the emotional and imaginative powers of rhythm and melody, without any mediation of verbal language. A groovy trip without words. The Milvus project originates in 2005 by the union of three italian musicians, living at that time in Tuscany. |
