About:
A recurring dream of the earth long after we are gone, a shamanic flight on black-feathered wings to overlook what could have been, lush and thriving in our absence.

Album Notes:
"I dreamt of the earth after us,
As mountains erode and time helps the cities crumble.
So easy to think that the earth revolves around us,
That after us, the planet stops."


Review:
"Very impressive and thoughtful album. Flutes, guitars, ethnic drums, electronic background are creating soundscapes united by the concept: how the world will sound if humankind would destroy itself? You may expect dark apocalyptic ambient but the music is about harmony of nature unaccessible to us, humans.
The album was inspired by Ray Bradbury's story "There Will Come Soft Rains" about post-apocaliptic mechanic life on the Earth. Ray Bradbury cited the following verses by Sara Teasdale:
There will come soft rains and the smell of the ground,
And swallows circling with their shimmering sound;
And frogs in the pool singing at night,
And wild plum trees in tremulous white;
Robins will wear their feathery fire,
Whistling their whims on a low fence-wire;
And not one will know of the war, not one
Will care at last when it is done.
Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree,
If mankind perished utterly;
And Spring herself when she woke at dawn
Would scarcely know that we were gone.
This is the concept of this album. Highly recommended."
