Beschreibung
This anthology is the demonstration that six letters are enough to express the concept of passion. The thesis is verified by the construction of an alternative dimension where feelings, intensity and creative flair are at their most expressive, free from the limits of reality. It is not important if the trip is oneiric, through music or distance, what matters is coming back to listen to the echo of the beat that everyone carries within. Six letters, and as many characters, will take the reader into the quest for the universal motive, offering their version of the plots they belong to. The first act, She Complies with the Night, is X.’s oneiric diary and it is dedicated to those who face the conflict between fantasy and reality every day. It is a tribute to Italian band Secret Sphere and to the message always transmitted by their songs, the same that has inspired the author for this and her previous works. The second story, The Artificer, is a reflection on the dark side of music intended as art and on the price demanded of those who offer part of themselves to their own creative obsession. This is the case of M. and of what he was forced to sacrifice to realize his aspiration. The epilogue, written by J.’s pen and expressed in the only language understandable to anyone who crosses her gaze, draws together the threads of each story. A letter composed and sent to reach the source of every emotion.
