Prologue: Glory

Calhendra harbors a well-kept secret, a haven of contemplation, where only initiated travelers may enter, and only after a period of mental decompression. We are admitted there after our visit to the sanctuary of the Twin Moons.

For many years I concentrated on painting, but meanwhile I come back to music more and more. I always like to connect the different mediums, also writing lyrics. I play several instruments with main instrument classical guitar. I'm no singer, but sometimes I like to send a message.
I enjoy your music on SC very much and often hear my likes. It's much better then the mainstream.  Many thanks to you all!
Hope, you enjoy my music too:)
You can buy some albums on Bandcamp.
