‘Since a young age, my life has been surrounded by music I shared with my childhood friends, with whom I went on to form a band. Sadly, one of them passed away a few years ago, and I missed his cremation ceremony. The Last Village is the title of one of our unreleased songs, which depicts a group of hidden villagers delightfully conducting a funeral. Song X is an attempt to compose an extended version of this posthumous song; a visual poem, portraying life after death, a message to my deceased band member and friend, a memorial ritual for the dead.’
