There are still ships setting sail to Byzantium, and caravans moving in silence towards Chang’An.

When empires fall, only what is true and necessary remains — perhaps that is why we wrote this album.

We travel east, not in search of new banners, glory or fortune, but in search of our brothers and sisters — or perhaps ourselves — in another dimension.

Like the last children of a radiant day now fading into twilight, in a time when the Gods no longer answer.

Nicoletta’s voice crosses the album as both witness and guide —

a traveler between possible worlds, singing with the power of wind, sun and rain, as if calling every human being along the way.

For “No Banners, No Glory” we welcomed onboard the talent of Clara Sorace, cinematic and emotional vocalist, to embody a specific tonal nuance required by the track — to resist the sirens’ call and push our vessel even further eastward.
