Biography

First LITH's noise experiences began in the middle of 1995. David Valle, far from his first project, Semper Eadem (ambiant and neoclassical project), tried new styles, like ambiant and experimental industrial music.

after one year, LITH releases its first demo tape, 'urban symphony'. music was influenced by ambiant industrial and electronic music, and the themes are mainly nonsense and violence of human behaviors, pollution, destruction, war... these first ideological orientations give the tone which will follow in LITH's history .
