Sopor Æternus & the Ensemble of Shadows
Sopor Aeternus & the Ensemble of Shadows (Latin: ''sopor æternus'' "eternal sleep";〔(Anna-Varney: interview on premonition.org )〕〔(Sopor Aeternus German Fansite on tiscalinet.de )〕 often referred to or stylized as Sopor Aeternus or Sopor〔(MySpace.com - SOPOR AETERNUS (official) )〕) is a darkwave musical project based in Frankfurt,〔(Sopor Aeternus Official Italian Fan Club )〕 founded in 1989 by Anna-Varney Cantodea.〔 Since the project's beginnings, Anna-Varney's work has garnered a cult following, notorious for its extremely personalized, melancholic and pessimistic nature, drawing on a number of different musical and visual styles.〔http://www.soporaeternus.de/Info.html〕
== Anna-Varney Cantodea ==
Cantodea is a transgender woman. She has never undergone surgery to change sex and does not intend to. Cantodea's pseudonym is derived from several sources. Firstly, the common name Anna, and secondly the Latin word ''cantodea'', a composed neologism meaning "I sing, goddess". (As a side note, the Latin term for "female singer" is ''cantrix''.) She had been using the stage name "Varney" prior to 1997, that name taken from the Victorian Gothic horror story ''Varney, the Vampire; or the Feast of Blood''.〔
Reportedly, Cantodea suffered beatings at the hands of her parents, and by peers in school.〔http://vampirefreaks.com/content/comment.php?entry=279&t=Interview+with+SOPOR+AETERNUS+%26+The+Ensemble+of+Shadows〕 At the age of six, she had an out-of-body experience while sedated during a tonsillectomy.〔http://vampirefreaks.com/content/comment.php?entry=279&t=Interview+with+SOPOR+AETERNUS+%26+The+Ensemble+of+Shadows〕
Cantodea's persona is voluntarily isolated and complicated. She has stated that she does not perform live "in front of humans." Despite this, she currently seems to be acquainted with the pagan and occult author (Raven Digitalis ), who is one of the "managers" of the (Official Sopor Aeternus MySpace ) profile.〔http://www.myspace.com/soporaeternusofficial/blog/335165238〕 She has an affinity for the author Edgar Allan Poe, adapting his poems to music on several occasions; she is also a supporter of several activist movements, including animal rights, pro-euthanasia, LGBT rights, vegan and vegetarian efforts.〔(Sopor Aeternus & the Ensemble of Shadows: VampireFreaks Interview by DeathWish )〕 Cantodea is a very spiritual person, with devotion placed on the Roman deity Saturn. She combined Saturn's astrological symbol with that of Jupiter's to create the symbol of ''Jusa'', an icon that reflects her spirituality and has become an insignia for herself and her music.
