	That's how Rostau was born, and the goal I had in mind. At first, simple personal expression, then the same thing slightly bent to fulfill the general feel the basic elements made blink in me. Don't let me be misunderstood, I'm far from thinking the result is perfect. If it was, everything in it would be "poetry", as in Croce's aesthethic theories (which refere to literature, but could fit well also to music). Instead, there's still a lot of "structure". That's just my attempt, I hope the balance between the two favours the first.		That's how Rostau was born, and the goal I had in mind.

	The title track is somehow interesting. The longer it progresses the fewer elements and facets appear until at the end everything closes with some form of silence. At last, one might say, the soul is able to leave this world and drift off into a different place. Did you always wanted to create such an experience? Was this an idea that you had in the back of your head right from the start?		'''The title track is somehow interesting.

	Absolutely not. The title track took it's final form very late, but very quickly. One could say that the experience created itself through me.		Absolutely not. The title track took it's final form very late, but very quickly. One could say that the experience created itself through me.

	According to my exploration of the astral travel experience, I have found that it can occur in, as to say, two directions, like the axis of the cartesian plane. The horizontal axis, in this view, is the journey through our physycal dimension, while the vertical one is about moving to other planes. The last part of the song could represent the lingering of the soul just beyond death, contemplating quietly it's mortal shell and still remembering with a sweet smile what the carnal experience was, now distant and forgiven. Just a few moments, before pointing to the stars and journeying throug the void , free to explore and feel joy, or being attracted by some force, by fate, by cosmic laws... who knows? Anyway in this section of the album the soul it's still in the "horizontal" direction of travel.

	Sadness seems to be a core aspect of the album, at least this was an impression that I gained while listening to it. In seems natural to find such, because topics like "loss and death” are often dealt in such a way in the Western civilization. Is there no hope to break out of it? Has our culture some sort of pathological fixation on death and tries to celebrate this depressing mood in a countless varieties?

	I think that fear of death, horror before self disgregation and the end, are basical anthropological feelings innate in a being able to reflect on itself and the bewildering loss of it's kin. It seems to me that these feelings are rooted in every culture. The liberation from these thoughts comes through many means, both spiritual and intellectual.
