Lush darkness here, over which a wind blows...

Scorched fields, minefields, oil spills, destruction beyond imagination... but the wild violets will outlive us all. Will they have the last laugh or will they mourn us?

Fun fact: in Hungarian D♭ is pronounced "desz" which is fairly close to how the English word "death" is pronounced.

Paulo Chagas lives in Portugal and I in the USA.
We agreed to make this album by sharing music files over the internet.

While we worked on this album, 
making music for a peaceful world was on our mind.

All over the world, 
tensions, conflicts, suppressions and violence
of one group over another have arisen.

As musical artists, we believe that our artistic process 
demonstrates what we wish for the world,
paraphrasing Ghandi’s 
“Be the change that you wish to see in the world”:

Create agreements and honor them

Listen carefully, respond with care

Openly point out problems, openly work to fix them

Create music that acknowledges conflict but also overcomes it

Support the spirit of engaged creativity

Support joyful life


Wilhelm Matthies and Paulo Chagas, April 2025
