The minds behind it are Fabio Properzi and Giulia Riboli, both musicians with a strong attitude to experimentation.\n\nIn January of 2015 their first instrumental EP \"The Abyss\" was released, catching the attention of several italian magazines and webzines (Rockerilla, Mescalina, Son of Marketing e I Think Magazine, L'Isola che non c'era, Shiver...) and has been acclaimed by critics for its refinement.\n\nThe track \"Nebula\" was included in the streaming compilation Son of the Marketing My AweSOMe Winter Preview Vol. 2 among the more interesting new acts of Italy. Hum is the debut full length album from Tears of Sirens.\n\nTogether Fabio Properzi plays piano, guitar, bass, cajon, programming, and is the first voice of the project; Giulia Riboli plays theremin, theremini, kaossilator and voice.\n\nThey create their own soundbanks using everything from the theremin and the theremini. Their attitude in livesets is to play all that is playable captured by looper pedal, for their grooves; acoustic music but with electronic matrix. The theremin and the voice are always the protagonist.\n\nAs is known, the theremin has an almost mysterious and magical fascination, because it's played without contact. With hand movements in the ether, farther and closer to the antennas, the theremin player controls its tuning and volume.\n\nFabio Properzi, active on the italian music scene since 2006, already the mind and pen behind the band Ameba4, Fabio Properzi is a singer, musician, artistic-producer, arranger and song writer for some of the new emerging italian talents.\n\nHe has worked as an author for Sugar Music from 2005 to 2012, being professionally mentored by Corrado Rustici. Inspired by the atmospheres of Nigel Godrich's music, Properzi's artistic production looks firmly at the future.\n\nIn 2013, Fabio worked with Roberto Matarrese, to give life to the elctronical music project Kinky Atoms, Kinky Atoms is very appreciated by critics and in reviews by main italian alternative music magazines and it's also to be found here on Magnatune.\n\nGiulia Riboli, approached the theremin in 2009, also thanks to the ecleptic italian thereminist Vincenzo Vasi. In 2011 she attended the \"Theremin Summer Accademy\", in Colmar (France) directed by the virtuous german thereminist Carolina Eyck.\n\nThen she joined the concerts of prominent italian artists, such as Paolo Enrico Archetti Maestri (Yo Yo Mundi), the pianist Davide Calvi, and the percussionist Davide Merlino.\n\nGiulia has played in clubs, theaters, castles, museums, contemporary art galleries and picture galleries, but also at the private parties of international companies such as Zeiss, and in scientific divulgation ceremonies, such as the BergamoScienza Festival.\n\nIn 2013 Giulia played a concert organized by Biella Jazz Club, at 1,900 meters altitude, on Monte Mucrone (BI), floating on a platform in the middle of a mountain lake. In that same year she was presented to a conference, coordinated by Peter Theremin, about the italian culture of theremin, at the Moscow Theremin Studio.\n\nGiulia Riboli compares favourably on the list of international theremin performers of the russian website \"Theremin Times\" supervised by the nephew of Leon Theremin, that is the inventor of theremin.", "photo" : "https://magnatune.com/artists/img/tears_of_sirens.jpg", "web_url" : "https://magnatune.com/artists/tears_of_sirens/", "albums" : [{ "sku" : "tearssirens-humnv", "name" : "Hum (vocals removed)", "artist" : { "name" : "Tears of Sirens", "page" : "tears_of_sirens" }, "release_date" : "2026-10-23", "genres" : ["Electro Rock","Pop","Vocal"], "vocals" : "vocals removed", "moods" : ["ethereal","mysterious","hypnotic","dreamy","reflective","melancholic"], "uses" : ["podcast background","meditation or yoga","emotional storytelling","art or gallery","sci-fi or space","documentary"], "energy" : 3, "instrumentation" : ["piano","guitar","cajon","theremin","theremini","female vocals"], "sounds_like" : [], "summary" : "Ethereal, hypnotic electro-rock with celestial and apocalyptic vocals, piano, guitar, cajon, and theremin—ideal for atmospheric podcasts, meditation, or sci-fi storytelling.", "cover" : "https://magnatune.com/music/Tears%20of%20Sirens/Hum%20(vocals%20removed)/cover_400.jpg", "web_url" : "https://magnatune.com/artists/albums/tearssirens-humnv/", "api_url" : "https://magnatune.com/api/albums/tearssirens-humnv", "buy_url" : "https://magnatune.com/buy/album?sku=tearssirens-humnv" },{ "sku" : "tearssirens-hum", "name" : "Hum", "artist" : { "name" : "Tears of Sirens", "page" : "tears_of_sirens" }, "release_date" : "2017-06-09", "genres" : ["Electro Rock","Pop","Vocal"], "vocals" : "vocals", "moods" : ["ethereal","mysterious","hypnotic","dreamy","reflective","melancholic"], "uses" : ["podcast background","meditation or yoga","emotional storytelling","art or gallery","sci-fi or space","documentary"], "energy" : 3, "instrumentation" : ["piano","guitar","cajon","theremin","theremini","female vocals"], "sounds_like" : [], "summary" : "Ethereal, hypnotic electro-rock with celestial and apocalyptic vocals, piano, guitar, cajon, and theremin—ideal for atmospheric podcasts, meditation, or sci-fi storytelling.", "cover" : "https://magnatune.com/music/Tears%20of%20Sirens/Hum/cover_400.jpg", "web_url" : "https://magnatune.com/artists/albums/tearssirens-hum/", "api_url" : "https://magnatune.com/api/albums/tearssirens-hum", "buy_url" : "https://magnatune.com/buy/album?sku=tearssirens-hum" }] }, "license" : { "music_license" : "Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 1.0 (CC BY-NC-SA 1.0)", "music_license_url" : "https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/1.0/", "listening" : "Stream the free previews, or buy an album for $8 to download it in MP3, AAC, ALAC, FLAC, OGG or WAV. 100% of the price goes to the musician.", "non_commercial" : "Non-commercial projects may use the music under CC BY-NC-SA 1.0: credit the artist and Magnatune, and share alike.", "projects" : "Magnatune members may use any Magnatune music in their projects, commercial or not (videos, films, podcasts, games, apps, websites, adverts), including work for clients, under the Magnatune Project Licence.
