Pure, contemporary jazz. Geometry and music, fused in a theme that takes its inspiration from Cubist painting.
On the track, Anthus, a keen admirer of Cubism, pays tribute to the idea of a great French painter and father of the Cubist movement, Paul Cézanne, who saw life and all objects in it in three basic forms: cubes, spheres and cylinders. Cézanne considered these three elements key to recreating, in painting, the universe around him. And that is how the Cubist movement began.
Anthus also feels himself to be surrounded by a world in which elements take different forms and can be observed from different angles, changing according to the light. And they form different layers, one over the other, shapes and lights becoming a single being. We are one, but we are also, potentially, infinite.
Cubes, spheres and cylinders are also shapes that a kaleidoscope creates. This song reveals a beautiful, harmonious combination of geometric forms that provide the image for a truly delightful composition, music that enchants us, leading us on from the track’s beginning to its end. Our own lives, translated into changing geometric forms that reveal our multiple being, our personal diversity.

Cubs, esferes i cilindres

Anthus bids his father a fond farewell, though they did not always get along as well as he would have liked. The artist sings this song to his father, remembering the day he died. Now, from the distance, perhaps the son can tell the father about the dream that he never wanted to listen to, the dream of making music that his father tried to take from him. “I am the boy who sang in secret, I have flown along unimagined paths, I feel the wind in my wings and I am not afraid to face the disaster that you sold me for so many years”.

A familiar story that Anthus sees reflected in many of us, sons and daughters who cannot be what they want to be, and fathers trapped by fear of an uncertain future for the one they most love, their child… The song is for all the children who want to live their own dream, and a call to their parents to understand their ambitions and help them on their way.
