Personal project of Tommy Caggiani, fruit of his travels and experiences, whose repertoire, based on original compositions, blends ethnic rhythms and jazz improvisation of high emotional power healing music.

The name of the group it is inspired by the Greek word "therion", that is to say half animal - half man, and by the energy, alluding to the drawn theranthropes found in prehistoric caves. As well as the superhuman strength from the transformation in theranthropes is palpable, thus the energy of the music created by the group and that the group transmits can be compared to the energy needed by listeners to vibrate through a deep emotion.

Live in Krakow, editing in progress
