about

All music, vocals, lyrics, concepts, designs, and illustrations are by Zovi EXCEPT for:

- "Mirelle in Eternal Ash" is based on my experience with the character of Lady Mirelle, written by Warren Tusk for his theatric LARP "The Dance and the Dawn: Dreams of Ice and Ash," and her fate post-game, with a good amount of extrapolation and poetic license. This piece is spoiler-free for the particulars of this LARP, and I encourage people to play and run this and other games available at www.paracelsus-games.com
- The field recording used in "A Swingset Vignette" was recorded by Alison Joy.
- I wrote "Beginnings" in character for another theatrical LARP. The version here has particulars removed to avoid spoiling said game for others.
- The organ part in "Look. At. Me." is an arrangement of Chiaki's theme from Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne and the song itself is about her transformation. A few of the lyrics are quotes from the game dialogue and the rest are my own. God King Josiah played alto saxophone on this track.

I would like to thank Ultra Gash Records for working with me for the physical release, kingcon2k11 for working with me for the music video for "Opera of The Stars," and everyone who gave me feedback while I was making the music for this album.

I intend this album to be the long shadow of my previous album, "The Castle of Celestial Fogs." If that album was a dream, this album is...not a nightmare, because nightmares call to mind the concept of fear. It is something else. The theme of dreams carries through, as "Inside the Carousel" is based entirely on one of the most incredible dreams I have ever had, but this is about something even more powerful than dreams: stories. Stories are important. They are so, so important. They are perhaps the most important thing, because we're made out of stories.

Let the stories in, and let them consume you in a way that blossoms into elsewhere.

- Zovi
