Behind the music

THE WORLD OF HOME

Ardarith symbol

Five singers and eleven musicians tell one story. The central character, Me, travels alongside Hope, Despair, Guilt and Memory in search of what home truly means.

Progressive metal meets soft synthesizers, piano, flute and violin. At its heart, HOME is about the emotions and needs we share, despite our differences.

THE VOICES OF HOME

Five characters. Five distinct voices. One journey through the emotions that make us human.

The mind behind Ardarith

MAX PFAFFINGER

Composer · Lyricist · Producer

Ardarith was born from the idea of bringing together musicians and influences across borders. For Max Pfaffinger, HOME is more than a musical project: it is a call for mutual understanding, openness and the recognition of what connects us.
