This album includes several poems by Yeats from The Wind Among The Reeds (1899) and some poems from The Rose (1893).
Through the mystical figure of the famous Irish poet W.B. Yeats, this musical production reflects the tragic nature of romanticism, the obsessive quest for unconditional dreaming and crazy love in the cold and rough reality.

Here, the experimental instrumentation expresses this confrontation between these two worlds, the traditional folklore, without artifices, and the technology of rhythm boxes and synthesizers, steamroller of the modern musical world.

This demiurgic dichotomy, this creative opposition is more than necessary to generate the work of romantic poets, because it is in this disjunction, this divorce with the modern world and the inability to overcome it, that magic works.
