The celestial dome It is a meeting point between impressionism and modern jazz, with a touch of contemporary music and various influences from other styles. It is a potion that enchants us and transports us to a warm atmosphere of calm where we will connect with our deepest emotions.

We find aromas of different cultures, very diverse colors and abstract textures. We find naive minimalism, but also dense complexity; intimate and calm music, but at the same time very intense and poignant; composition written to the millimeter and free improvisation; joyful and simple melodies with dark and disturbing harmonies, incessant rhythms and organized chaos. It is an album of contrasts. We find songs, images, poems, stories and, even, a processional march.

It is worth highlighting the collaboration of the flautist Julia Gual, a great friend of the group who sadly left us in March 2023. We are lucky to be able to listen to her on Armenian Paper, a piece that he had performed with the duo in numerous concerts and which he recorded in the studio in December 2022.

It also appears in a surprise that you will find at the end of the album. It is an essay by Rays and waves, a composition for flute and piano that Víctor wrote for her for her 25th birthday. Unfortunately, the work could not be recorded in the studio, and for this reason the duo wanted to incorporate it into the repertoire and include on the album different fragments of the essays that are kept. It is a gift to be able to hear Júlia's flute, as alive and sparkling as she was. Her sound will last on this album and in our memory.

Finally, anyone familiar with Carla Bley's artistic universe will appreciate how her influence is felt in some of the pieces on this album, including the humor and irony that often accompany her music. Other great current references are also very present, such as Sylvie Courvoisier, Brad Mehldau, François Couturier or Anouar Brahem, as well as classics from the recent past, including Claude Debussy, Francis Poulenc and Olivier Messiaen.
