Justin/Dissolvi What a strange journey! The album art really pulled me in. I even downloaded Blender because I was so inspired by its look. There's a lot of restraint here in such a remarkable and alien, otherworldly way. Weird, winding melodies of bells and flute-like instruments. So dreamy. Fantastic work. Thank you! Favorite track: Masque de câlin (Hugging mask).

about

A merchant on a months-long journey has unexpectedly returned to Gildedthread village wearing a white mask with a small smile and black eyes. He acted as if under a vow of silence, attracting the villagers with an open-armed expression before leading them to a forest clearing with several rings of mushrooms. They were greeted by the emergence of several fairies, who had recently been sighted near Gildedthread in the first of any sightings in over 20 years. Stranger still, the villagers could now understand the fairies’ dancing language.

In their dance, they said: “Through countless lonely journeys across this vast land, your former guest has learned to see our faint trails of light, the subtle shifts in the air, and the shadows we cast on your dreams – as your conduit, he allows you to see us and to understand our dances.”

“Your conduit has prepared a collection of masks to capture what he has learned from our realm. Feel them, wear them, to draw an impression from our world into yours.”

(français) (ma traduction du texte anglais est directe et peu naturelle -- merci de comprendre)

Un marchand sur un long voyage est étonnamment retourné au village de Gildedthread en portant un masque blanc avec un petit sourire et des yeux noirs. Il agissait comme s'il avait fait vœu de silence, en attirant les villageois avec une expression de bras ouverts avant de les diriger vers une clairière de la forêt avec plusieurs anneaux de champignons. Ils étaient accueillis par l'émergence de plusieurs fées, qui avaient récemment été aperçues près de Gildedthread, la première observation en vingt ans. Encore plus étrange, les villageois peuvent maintenant comprendre la langue de danse des fées.

Par leur danse, ils ont dit : "Après de nombreux voyages solitaires à travers ce terrain vaste, votre invité a appris comment voir nos traînées faibles de lumière, les changements subtils dans l'air, et les ombres que nous projetons sur vos rêves -- en tant que votre Conduit, il vous laisse nous voir et comprendre nos danses."

"Votre Conduit a préparé une collection de masques pour capturer ce qu'il a appris de notre domaine. Les ressentir, les porter, pour puiser une impression de notre monde dans le vôtre."

I was driving down a local road under an overhand of maple trees when “Softly Backlit by Hearthfire” came on. It was a perfectly serene compliment to the autumnal colors and windswept leaves on the path ahead. What a wonderful, contemplative offering this is. Will be listening to this a whole lot!
