What do the titles "Hexe", "Ende", and "Cinema Locria" refer to?
Hexe is the beginning of Granicha, and the purpose of Granicha as a work is to undo the curse of borders and nations. I do not of course think myself so influential as to be able to undo so strong and deeply embedded of a curse as nationalism, but I'm chipping away at it with many others, doing my small part. In this opening piece, Hexe, I draw upon the human name of a river (the Severn) that was in the past used as a border but whose role as such has since faded. Not faded entirely, not culturally, but as a means of control or restricting the movement of peoples, it is no longer used that way.
Cinema Locria is a sort of imaginative piece about a tiny theatre on a small Greek island, in a village with empty streets during the day but the films and music still play.
Ende is so-called simply because it's the final track on Satellite State. Satellite State itself is the only Disparition album without much of a concept, it was just the first time I thought I had enough songs good enough to share publicly.
