Story Behind The Song
1 - PHANTASMAGORIA (Dream sequence)
-Fata Morgana (00:00 - 02:10)
-Ignus Fatuus (02:11 - 04:01)
Suddenly, one night, our unlikely hero slips into the deeper layers of his dreams and finds he is falling through the rabbit hole. His consciousness slipping through the cracks of space-time, he finds himself warped into a different land, a different time.
2 - HANGOVER IN DAMASCUS (On the Pilgrim Trail of the Eastern Empire)
Waking up within the physical inhabitation of a dead pharaoh's body who is about to be mummified, he escapes the burial chamber using the east qanat. The populace outside continue the pharaoh's jig to mark his passing, unbeknownst to the disappearance of the body. Thus begins our journey of the Arabian nights across the sandy empire, trailing the long held pilgrim trails across the eastern empire. He struggles and fights off various provocateurs and magi who try and trap him all the while hiding the identity of the physical body he is habituating in.

-Water Damage (03:14 - 09:45)

Thus begins his long journey across the grassy plains, among the folk countryside and through the villages. He travels north, through the forests of the folk settlings, landing him onto Nordic ports where he joins crew with a Viking ship. Plundering and partying are the orders of the day. He sails the
Song Description
CLOCKWORK SYMPHONY (The Album)
This album is a sonic representation of the story of a composer and musician who has lost all interest in his art and he no longer indulges himself in it. The story is about his rediscovery of his passion. One day he finds himself being unwillingly transported into a different universe. He travels through the space-time continuum in his dreams to various eras of human civilization and experiences their lives and their music. In doing so, he realizes that existence is just a façade to the true reality of the universe, and the only thing about his being, that is valid, is his consciousness, which takes the form of the spirit of music.
