This album is conceived as a fairytale mosaic, dancing fragments of a hybrid forest. Tracing the ancestral and myth-magical origins of Ireland ("The Song of Amergin"), we dance through summers spent within ancient melodies ("Miri"). Led by unknown tarot cards sung by a Fool ("Canzone della Via"), we join the dance of Iarwain Ben-adar ("The Old Forest Dance"). After a dance of runes, we sing of the Golden Tree of the Elves ("Galadloriel"). From the Battle of the Trees ("Cad Goddeu"), we move towards future dimensional wars ("Dune"). Out of the ruins of stories from near and far-off worlds ("Là dove cantano le rovine"), we sing the pagan and woodland roots of Occitania ("Dins la Bosca Antiga"). Moving from an "Elven Dance", we intone the Tibetan overtones of Green Tara ("Shyama Tara"). Through the melodies of a legendary greyhound saint, we immerse ourselves in a hymn to a holy mother ("Madre de Deus").
The curtain falls on this journey with a ballad recounting the twilight of the Fairies and their last
dance: Fairy Walk Within Me.
