Time and again I find myself in a double role, like for the Petcord Volume 1 – The Audio Fringe compilation, where I both contribute with a composition and created the cover design based on a photography by Yvette Bird (the third time a work of hers is prominently featured and the last part of the trilogy). The cover art itself was a quick one without too much experiments, since the photography itself is already quite dominating, there was no point in adding any distracting components.

As to my title “un sogno dentro un sogno” (Italian for “a dream within a dream”) on the compilation, the work has become rather eerie and dissonant. Not quite the sound the first incarnation of Synflict stood for, but that’s not too surprising now that Marco’s soothing influence is gone. It may have become something like drone, but eventually, as usual, I could not help adding complexity to the original idea, so that the result would be filed best under electroacoustic. I hope I find some time during the remaining weeks of the old year to follow up with a new album.
