about

Samhain/Halloween time has come, the day the dead go around the world... but who are these walking dead? They are the spirits of our ancestors reincarnated, reborn in us... We are our ancestors, we are the dead reborn in a new shape, in a new body... "Walking in shapes" is the meaning of the word "Fylgja": our Forebears who anticipate us, the form of all Hamingja accumulated over time, our spirit that changes bodies but not its essence.

The ritual consists of dressing up as a dead to impersonate the ancestor who is reborn in you. This is the whole meaning of Halloween: rebirth, the reincarnation which will take place in Yule.
The cave is where the dead are buried: the burial mound... and it represents also the womb of the mother, where the reincarnation takes place. The chosen one by the child (by the gods) is ready to be reborn.

This is also the meaning of Campelius's painting, here reinterpreted by me, which is the art of this album: the inner part of Boecklin's "Isle of the Dead" could only be a cave where the reincarnation of the elven soul takes place (elf= white/dressed in white and emanating light from itself, i.e. divine light).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This album is meant for meditation, for rediscover yourself. The theme is often repetitive, recursive with variations, because through rhythm and continuous repetition, you reach the beyond straight to the divine, and you can remember yourself... in this sense, music is sorcery.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Happy Halloween, and may our European Traditions come back to memory, just as our dead ancestors come back to life through us!
