MEDEDELING !!
Door de Brexit komen titels die uit de UK afkomstig zijn nog altijd
met vertraging binnen. Soms valt het mee en duurt het slechts 2-3
weken, maar het komt helaas ook voor dat we 4 weken of meer moeten
wachten. We doen ons best om alles zo goed en snel mogelijk te
regelen, maar het blijft lastig...

| Omschrijving | “Of course the Puer is weak on the earth, he does
not belong to the earth. He is not destined to
walk, but to fly” (J. Hillman)
Each of us can be “Puer aeternus”, each of us is
partly so.
This is how the story of the concept album “Puer
aeternus” begins:
“He, Puer, an incorporeal being without definition
of age and sex, finds himself in an apparent Eden.
An eternal, pleasant, enlightened limbo, always
the same and perfect but at the same time dead
because it is totally devoid of growth. He is
imprisoned in a dimension where he is neither an
adult nor a child, where nothing grows and nothing
is responsibility, a place devoid of desires. In
this reality that has existed for such a long time
that he cannot remember its beginning, Puer
questions himself about his eternal condition."
Ancient Veil`s new work is an album that moves in
a thousand directions. The theme is ancient,
archaic and current like all the eternal dramas
that man has always experienced.
His inadequacy in relating to himself and
consequently to the outside world. An "eternal
child" with enormous abilities who prefers not to
face his transformations, incapable of really
growing up, of building a life in harmony with his
peers and with the greatest force outside of his
ego: nature.
In this story the classical myths come together
without limits of time, place, culture, space. All
the characters in "Puer aeternus" are mythological
but at the same time human, they live in the
present and in the past, in a daily life that
inexorably contains the near future.
The character who guides our story is an
enlightened man who understands his potential only
with the strength of "detachment" and reflection,
finally managing to change the inevitable mistakes
of his path into an intense life.
The album metaphorically tells the story of the
conscious man through the life of Puer aeternus,
an eternal adolescent who transforms several times
in his life, is reborn several times, transforms
into Hermes and then into Kore. Throughout his
story he tries to improve the world around him
without understanding that his naive sincerity
often transforms him into a pawn easily molded by
time and by the thirst of egoic beings. He manages
to find true balance "towards the vertical line"
only when he finally understands that the only
viable way to grow and become aware is synergistic
coexistence with Nature.
The album features well-known musicians including
Lino Vairetti (Osanna), Martin Grice (Delirium),
Sophya Baccini, Tony Cicco (Formula Tre), Roberto
Tiranti (New Trolls), Natalino Ricciardo (Paolo
Conte), Simona Fasano, Elisa Marangon ... all
voices chosen and motivated in the choice of
timbre and acting of the character, I am a highly
theatrical character.
Puer aeternus is a decidedly prog album with
experimental, acoustic openings, but it is also an
opera, it is theatre, history, music for images
and emotions, where in the foreground the acoustic
instruments that have always been the trademark of
Ancient Veil resonate (acoustic, classical guitars
, various flutes, soprano sax...) where well-
measured interweavings of Hammond and Moog become
the completion of the overall sound, where drums,
bass and percussion are never accompaniment but
always highlighted and musical. The palette is
enriched with a present string quartet and a full-
bodied wind section made up of clarinet, oboe,
bassoon, French horn, almost to create a small
orchestra.
Everything is well described in the booklet
composed of the lyrics and full of "notes" to
provide the listener with a complete knowledge of
the story and its characters and the meanings that
each sung and instrumental moment represents. A QR
Code present on the CD also provides the listener
with the English translation of the entire work
and the possibility of reading the Italian
libretto in Word format.
